An Accurate Rendering

Oh no, I did not just sew up a Fat Blackbird! Actually, yes. Yes, I just did.

Fat Blackbird was introduced back in this comic, and now he's become the first icon of Purple Soul merch. He measures about 5.5" wide and he's incredibly lumpy. And he can be yours for a low low price that I haven't decided yet! I'll have a few Blackbirds with me in Vancouver on the 26th, and they'll be available in an online store after that, I think.

(you wouldn't believe how many redesigns this little lump went through)

24 Blackbirds

The Bird Mallet is an essential tool in any bakery.

Did you know that blackbirds aren't black? No, they actually come in a variety of colours, but the pressure of social expectations leads every last one of them to conform. Sad. Click comic to enlarge.

Here's another classic redrawn for next month's promotional material. Both this and Grrravity! were originally written as three strips each, so there's some re-writing as well as art-updatation. That's not a word.
