Birds are fundamentally funny. Whether they’re splashing away in a bird bath, poofing up their feathers to impress a mate, or squabbling over territoriy, they add humor and beauty to our world. As a nature cartoonist, I share my love of birds by inserting their hilarious behavior into a comic—a simple way to tell a story using concise words and illustrations. I didn’t grow up wanting to be a nature cartoonist. As a kid I loved watching birds, drawing pictures, and making people laugh, but I couldn’t see a connection between those interests. Then I discovered the world of science cartoons. I read Calvin and Hobbes and The Far Side. I came across funny books like A Field Guide to Little-Known and Seldom-Seen Birds of North America by Ben, Cathryn, and John Sill. I realized that humor and art could spread science facts to new people and new places. I started to make my own comics—and I’m not the only one. Nowadays, there are plenty of funny bird comics.
