BIRD COMIC SC

by Ruby Carter

The eponymous bird in bird comic. stands out in the rain, hoping it will wash away her terrible personality. She has to remind herself that she exists while walking down the street. She complains that there's not enough dopamine out in nature. In a beautifully deadpan series of short vignettes, Ruby Carter's spare line, sharp wit, and languid pacing reveal a deep sense of yearning, uncertainty, and moments of joy.

"bird comic. is funny, inventive, beautiful, moving, and made me feel less alone. I loved it. Ruby Carter is my favorite new cartoonist. The spare artwork is saturated with emotion. Carter captures what it feels like to be alive and searching."

— Keiler Roberts, author of The Joy Of Quitting

"Monotone, deadpan, and spare, bird comic. is stark in its simplicity, but I found comfort in its blankness and black humor. For all flightless birds and humans who just want to get high."

— Daryl Seitchik, author of Exits, Now And Other Dreams
