About
I am an aspiring web comic artist and writer from Canada. I have always loved literature and cartoons as far back as I can remember. My favourites are the classics and anything that delves into fantasy. I am also a huge bird lover specifically parrots.
About the Story:
Like the description said, it focuses on the titular character Word who is a kakapo, but here's the twist; in his world, kakapos got domesticated so he doesn't look a thing like the way the kakapos of our world are. I made this comic because I always wanted to do a gag-a-day comic that was cute and funny, but I still wanted it to have a twist of some kind. Plus, I find parrots are underrated if not stereotyped in comics, but now, people are beginning to see that they're not just animals you stick in a cage and their only talent is saying "Polly want a cracker". Parrots are highly intelligent and they have big personalities. I chose a kakapo (or rather a fictional version of one) because when I saw it in pictures, I fell in love with this rare and beautiful parrot. It is the one parrot in the world that cannot fly, but it is still just as much parrot as any other. The antics are based on my own experiences of my family owning a budgie and cockatiel as well as a things I have seen on the Internet or heard from friends.
Parrot lovers unite!
