The classic folk-rock tune came across my headphones and planted a seed for this idea. I deliberately kept a caption box ("Name that tune") as a breadcrumb leading past the surface-level gag on birds/Byrds. And the signature species of the arctic also happens to be one of my absolute favorites.
The colors on this one really work well and it looked great in print - the folks running the presses routinely make me look good. Besides not really ever knowing the exact date the panel will run (just within the parameters of the submitted month's-worth of new material sent on the first of every month), there's always the random aesthetic created with the alchemy of newspaper printing. One of the subliminal joys in running down to the corner store every Sunday morning to see what Santa brought for my birthday which cartoon ran in the paper.
“Keep your sense of humor. There is a 50-50 chance the world can be saved. You- yes you- might be the grain of sand that tips the scales the right way.” - Pete Seeger
