Last leg of the journey!
I’m doing a signing at Orbital Comics in London, and then we’re off to Leeds for the ThoughtBubble Festival!
Hope to see some of you there!

30 Abominable Comments!

  1. as363

    Are you telling us that this is an “auto-biographic’ moment Karl?

  2. anon

  3. i-hate-socks

  4. chris

  5. Johnny

    He’s very candid, isn’t he?

  6. Argent Stonecutter

    Someone’s been eating bad sap cakes.

  7. Aimi

    Don’t go home Karl, stay in London! :p

  8. Razor

    “Eyes forward, please.” Got a grin out of me.

    4th panel: Ah, isn’t that always the way?

    (also: Someone needs Activia XD )

    Wonder why they have to stay close to their buddy? Canadian geese are too large for any airborne predators to tackle. Their only known avian predators are the great owls (Great Horned, Great Gray and Snowy), and then only at night when the geese are sleeping or on the ground.`

  10. sahra

    @e=mc-horse: they can use aerodynamics when they’re close ;) Oh, i love ths comic; Karl, you’re awesome :)

  11. Esn

    I love Canada geese.

    Yes, they shit on everything. But still, they’re so lovable.

  12. Ruby

    Aw, so sad.

  13. Tim Bolton

    Love this comic! Brilliant and always good fun (when you aren’t making me cry). Will try and pop by your desk at Thought Bubble on Saturday Karl.

  14. ayanna

    canadian geese are lovable – except for when they are chasing you across the common at york university. oh the memories. everyone has an angry goose chase story.

  15. Dynamaso

    Karl, your depiction of Canada geese reminds me of how wonderful and beautiful these birds are! You should check out the Australlia equivalent – Magpie Geese. Equally as beautiful.

  16. Rex Queems

    Autobiographical? Sorry about your bowels sir.

  17. GBeans

    See you at the con, hopefully. :)

  18. John K

    I love the way you created the clouds in panel 3… it is beautiful!

  19. sco3tt

    I feel the same way. Just the right mix of poignancy and humor, well done.

  20. E=MC_horse

    Yes, they are beautiful, but they are also quite tasty when properly prepared. You have to start cooking them upside down in a wine-based broth with veggies then turn them over at the end, because being flying wild birds they are not soft and mushy like pen-raised poultry and require braising for the most flavor and tenderness. Also, allow the bird to rest for about 15 minutes before carving or else it will be dry. Or else, top them with salt pork over the beast and drumsticks and cover that with wet cheesecloth, then remove the cloth and salt pork and finish crisping in a hot oven. I saw that last one on a cooking show about turkey, tried it on a Canadian honker I had taken and it works as well on goose.

  21. Bartleby

    I miss Townsen.

  22. E=MC_horse

    Me, too.

  23. Argent Stonecutter

    Aww, damn, I didn’t need to remember Townsen.

    I’ma gonna go play some more “William and Sly” now.

  24. Cesare

    I can so relate to those geese. Funny strip . . .

  25. Matt

    Awesome strip, but let’s get some more prop development! What happened to the Cthulu-Lion?

  26. Niroot

    Oh, blast and bother! Missed you in London! Grrrrr…

  27. karl

    @Niroot- No excuses! I gave you plenty of advance notice. ;)

    -karl

  28. Alex

    I’m so annoyed I missed you at Orbital. I didn’t see this till the day after, any chance you’ll be back in London soon?

  29. Ai

    I totally relate to this.

  30. Jalule

    This has got to be one of the… I don’t know. I just got this really warm feeling when reading that last line.
    I feel you ducky, I totally feel you.
