False Knees

What False Knees actually is

Joshua Barkman draws carefully observed wildlife and hands it plain, slightly anxious dialogue. Chickadees complain, herons pose, crows are rude. The illustration is genuine natural-history work, which makes the mundane conversations funnier than a cruder drawing would.
