The Birds Comic Collection Vol 1
The Birds is award-winning writer Robin D Laws' comic strip. "I look forward¸ near-slavering¸ to those days that Robin's blog reads¸ "CLICK HERE for another installment of the Birds." Where most squeaky-clean comic strips are trying to channel After-School Specials¸ The Birds is strictly Saturday Night Special." - John Kovalic¸ Dork Tower Pete¸ a not so loveable loser always ready to become a fanatic for any cause¸ craves the respect of his coolly abusive best friend Steve. His wife¸ Shirley¸ pursues Steve while half-heartedly plotting Pete's demise. Her best friend¸ Loretta¸ signals her unrequited love for Pete by sending him severed raccoon heads. Eventually Steve's Dad shows up¸ fresh out of prison. All of them are heavily armed. Finally appearing in a collected edition after providing years of appalling hilarity to readers of writer and game designer Robin D. Laws' blog¸ The Birds is a deadpan¸ minimalist missile aimed straight at the heart of the avian condition. "It's something utterly¸ mindbogglingly different from anything I do¸ anything I could do¸ or (most importantly) anything I should do. Or perhaps I love the Birds simply because it's brilliant." - John Kovalic¸ Dork Tower Also available now: The Birds 2: There Goes My Dream Job...
