Create

Nov 27, 2022

BIRD: I truly feel I've been put here to create art. SQUIRREL: By whom?
BIRD: Someone with a grand plan.
BIRD: Or... a cruel sense of humor.
The squirrel considers the bird's art. SQUIRREL: Well, either way, I'd like to have a word with them.

Polite

Nov 23, 2022

A bird shows a painting to a fox and a rabbit. BIRD: How is it? And be polite! FOX: Hmm, now... What's a polite way to say, "It looks like garbage."
The bird angrily storms away.
RABBIT: Ooo, maybe say it in British? FOX: 'Ello, chap! Your paintin' is rubbish!
RABBIT: I think that sounded very polite. FOX: Well, it's important to be polite.

Ideas

Nov 15, 2022

RABBIT: How do you get your ideas? BIRD: I stare at a blank sheet of paper until my eyes bleed.
BIRD: After seventeen hours, I accidentally think of one mildly interesting thing, and I then pass out. RABBIT (walking away): Haha! OK...
BIRD (thinking): Not quite sure what's so funny about THAT.
BIRD (thinking): Anyway... back to staring.

Shrugs

Oct 10, 2022

A rabbit and a squirrel react to a bird's painting. RABBIT: I don't think I... GET it. SQUIRREL: I get it. It's... FINE.
BIRD (thinking): (sigh) I pour out my soul. And all I get is two SHRUGS.
BIRD (thinking): But one day... my work will be seen, not by two, but by two MILLION!
BIRD (thinking): And I will drink deep from a well of two MILLION shrugs!

Celebrating Genius

Sep 21, 2022

BIRD (thinking): The world will one day celebrate my genius.
SQUANK! A bird makes a huge loud obnoxious sound.
The bird waits for huge applause, but hears nothing.
BIRD (thinking): But for now, they're just playing it cool.

Songs About Disappointment

Aug 24, 2022

BIRD: I write songs about my disappointments.
BIRD: And no one likes them.
BIRD: Which is always disappointing.
RABBIT: That's a real system you've got going. BIRD: It is, isn't it?

My Friends

Aug 10, 2022

SKINK: My friends are coming! They'll want to talk! Got to hide!
The skink hides behind a tree as a rabbit and bird walk near. SKINK: (sigh)
SKINK: Why do my own friends make me nervous?
SKINK: Wish there was someone i could talk to about it...

God Speaks

Aug 1, 2022

BIRD (thinking): When I create art, it's like God is speaking through me.
The bird paints.
The bird considers his art.
BIRD (thinking): And God is saying, "Maybe consider another line of work."

Doodle

Jul 25, 2022

SQUIRREL: If this is just a doodle, it's incredible.
SQUIRREL: But if you put a lot of time into this... it's pretty pathetic.

BIRD: Dang it...
