Ew, It's Beautiful

Bird humor meets existentialism in this darkly hilarious collection of comics from the Eisner-nominated creator of False Knees.

In this highly anticipated second volume, artist Joshua Barkman presents the very best of his latest bird-themed comics (with the occasional rabbit, cat, or squirrel thrown in for good measure). True to form, Barkman’s woodland humor is not just witty but thoughtful on themes of loneliness, creativity, wonder, and the beauty of the ordinary.

Organized by season, this new volume contains old favorites alongside an abundance of all-new material, including a few of Barkman’s more ornate illustrations. Perfect for fans of Strange Planet and Poorly Drawn Lines, this memorable collection will also delight readers of classic strips like Calvin & Hobbes and The Far Side.
