Today’s Comic
Went many rounds on this one. I knew the birds would buzz Doug and Sophie, but wasn't sure of the "why". Then I came across the little rhyme in the first panel and it clicked.

So the birds are telepathic?

Yah, it’s a Hitchcockian thing.

Great strip today! I have to ask.. Were you thinking mockingbrids when you drew this one??? I used to spend hours watching the mockingbirds swoop down on my cat exactly like you depicted the birds buzzing doug & sophie. Best free entertainment ever!!! haha.

You know, I didn’t have a specific bird in mind. I love crows, but these guys were probably sparrows. They’re the dive bombers in our neighborhood.

Barn swallows can be fun to watch, too. Very graceful. and quite aggressive when nesting.
