    Awesomely done, reminds me a little of Charles Christopher. But would love to see this as an ongoing comic. :)

    Kind of reminds me of the now-famous Honey Badger video (and series) on YouTube. Giving a more relatable and modern tone to the very matter-of-fact lives of forest creatures is a novel idea. I second the notion of doing more strips like this. Perhaps growing the mythology of what exactly happened with that space pod???

    Really dig this site. Just found out about it. Instant bookmark!!!

    Good work, Simon & Crew! Love this stuff!

    YESSSSS…
    This is fabulous. I’m working on a comic that is told from the POV of animals, and it would be a hell of a lot more awesome if I had a tenth of your craftsmanship.

    Anyways, this was super entertaining! Great work!

    Stellar. I can barely look out my window without seeing a magpie or twelve, and their behavior as characterized here is absolutely pitch-perfect. Really beautiful work, man.
