Feed The Birds - Wigpigeons Have Landed

A new comic tells the story of how pigeons decide which of them gets to sit on the heads of statues.

first published: November, 2013

approximate reading time: minutes

Have you ever considered how pigeons decide which bird gets to sit on top of a statue's head?

Have you ever considered how pigeons decide which bird gets to sit on top of a statue's head? Well now the tale is told in a beautiful new comic by Kirk Lake and Mariann Metsis. It's a story of a grandfather, a father and a son and the trouble that street pigeons go to to get the chance to sit on a statue's head and lord it over the bird world. It's a funny and touching story for all ages and it's no surprise that the creator's are already fielding calls from producers who want to turn it into an animated film. 

There are only 150 copies so I suggest you get one right now, right HERE (online sales include a donation to London Wildlife Protection) or in your local comic shop or art gallery bookshop. 

Or, enter our draw to win a copy signed and dedicated to you with an original drawing by artist Metsis inside the cover. To win, just send us a message from our contact page (to be received by December 15th, 2013) selecting wigpigeon from the "what's this about?" pulldown. 

Prize will be delivered in time for Christmas.

If for some obscure reason you don't win you can find wigpigeon here while they last.

HELP OUTSIDELEFT

Outsideleft exists on a precarious no budget budget. We are interested in hearing from deep and deeper pocket types willing to underwrite our cultural vulture activity. We're not so interested in plastering your product all over our stories, but something more subtle and dignified for all parties concerned. Contact us and let's talk. [HELP OUTSIDELEFT]

WRITE FOR OUTSIDELEFT

If Outsideleft had arms they would always be wide open and welcoming to new writers and new ideas. If you've got something to say, something a small dank corner of the world needs to know about, a poem to publish, a book review, a short story, if you love music or the arts or anything else, write something about it and send it along. Of course we don't have anything as conformist as a budget here. But we'd love to see what you can do. Write for Outsideleft, do. [SUBMISSIONS FORM HERE]
