Redbird #7 "Around the Fish"

Happy Fat Tuesday!

Hot off the press: 3rd edition of Redbird #7 Beach Swamp Travel-Log, released last year, available now. 40-page 4.5" x 5.5" mini-comic about a roadtrip I took with my wife and kid to Jackson, Mississippi, Gulf Shores, Alabama and New Orleans, Louisiana. Play the game "Shark or Decorated Souvenir Shed," traipse around the world's largest hydrological model, learn how to make cocktail sauce, and enjoy a big centerfold map with laffs along the way. Screenprinted covers, xeroxed interiors.

There's some good New Orleans / Mardi Gras / Fried Fish content in here.

 I also really got into Paul Klee while working on this issue, particular his notebooks and this painting, "Around the Fish", which I covered on the back of my comic.

Of course in St. Louis Mardi Gras means: Fish Fry Season!
