Found this comic and it's quite beautiful.

It looks long, but there are no words, so it goes by fast.

That comic didn't make any sense, and not in a good way.

so a bird like he be going to get some seeds an he get scared away
and then he get wet or some shit
and then this space bird come down and they make out like birds do
then they go spy on some bitch and then they rob these motherfuckers get some more seed
then there's this other bird in a cage
and they bust his ass out

then the three of them just be flying

then one of em disappear I don't even know which one but then they turn ina moon and one o the stars and then that first bird just be staring at them and then he fly away at the end.

any of you guys read Flight (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_(comics))?

it's like this only way better.

it's an anthology, so it's only steampunk when the creator of whichever comic you're on wants it to be

mostly it's about monsters, and dreams, and friendship, and going on adventures.

I've read a lot of the Flight anthologies.  I keep thinking your avatar is from one of those comics, Slurpee!  But I still haven't gotten the book out to confirm it.  If I'm right, that was one where I loved the artwork, but wasn't hit as strongly by the story..

As for the Bird and Moon comic - I don't think it had much to say.  Same thing most of my fly comics are guilty of.

Guilty. :3

If I recall correctly, this character is in two different volumes, and I wasn't quite taken with the initial appearance, but the one with the little robot in Volume 5 was just so gosh-darned cute.

Apparently he and the other guy he's always with have a one-shot comic book published through SLG.
I'm probably going to end up buying it out of a crippling adoration for stories about street urchins.

I like how reaction to this is completely split, and both sides just have nothing to say to defend their point.

I really don't see whats so great about this, as far as the simple cute no-dialogue "childrens book" approach to the comic, its not even original, this has been done thousands of times before and with much better stories and drawings.

(https://clockcrew.net/talk/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thefirstpost.co.uk%2Farts%2F2005%2F07%2Fimages%2F071213snowman.jpg&hash=2877745a4f6ace35fc031cf9c85b5ef8d472d9e4)(for example)

However, I do really respect this approach to creating a story and have to admit the comic expresses its emotion and feel appropriately.

Yep. People who disagree with you are probably just stupid and don't get it. No one has a valid reason for not loving a meaningless feel-good wankfest about birds freeing their caged companions. Real birds are murderous, squabbling disease vectors. Also the moon does not love you and it does not want to comfort a sad bird. It is not wonderous and magical. It is a rock.

For a children's story this is a fine way to put them to sleep. For a grown human that doesn't need to be distracted with inoffensive coddling tales, it is despicable to consider it of any intellectual worth.

well for one thing, you sound like someone who's been beaten up by his parents, or something similar

and I didn't read a post where someone praised it to high order, so it looks like you're overreacting to just a simple sequence of images
