Birding Is My Favorite Video Game: 03/28/19

Birding Is My Favorite Video Game

Birding Is My Favorite Video Game by Rosemary Mosco is a collection of the Bird & Moon comics. They are climate change and STEAM comics and sometimes just off the wall observations about birds and nature.

These are primarily four panel and single panel comics. There are ones like the mocking bird problems where the bird is proudly showing off its skills at mimicry only to annoy everyone. The bird is, of course, doing car alarm sounds.

There are also some longer ones where there is more to tell than can be done in just four panels. The milkweed vs monarch, for instance, goes across two pages (or a long page scroll if reading on line).

These comics whether read in print or online are fun. I had a few problems with the text on some pages. In print the letters are sometimes too small for me and need to be read with a magnifying glass. This is my problem — with wonky eyes and an equally wonky prescription.

The webcomic is online at Bird & Moon.

Four stars
