14 Funny, Pigeon-Themed Comic Strips That Will Brighten Your Day With Laughter
Pigeons may have been considered rats with wings in the movie Stardust Memories, but we humans ought to give them more credit for being amazing animals. Aside from being complex and intelligent, they can recognize figures from images and are very fast.
They also possess a sense of space and time. This was proven in a 2017 study, where pigeons were taught how to evaluate the length of digital lines on a computer screen and how long they were displayed.
Although we cannot confirm it, perhaps their awesomeness inspired Christian ‘Bees’ McGowan to draw comics about them. According to the American comic artist, she has enjoyed drawing and storytelling for as long as she can remember.
When she was around four years old, she watched a behind-the-scenes video of The Lion King by Disney. A group of artists was seated in front of a wall full of drawn thumbnails.
She couldn't believe how thousands of drawings eventually became one incredible movie. That's why she started drawing.
During her young adult years, her interest in comics deepened. She is a fan of Scott Pilgrim and Hellboy.
It brings her joy to entertain people with her work. In addition to Pigeon Comics, she also created the LGBTQ+ slice-of-life and romance comic titled My Kiwi Crush.
Bees also loves animals, which is likely the reason she started Pigeon Comics. According to the artist:
I have an idea or a thought process and draw birds along with a written form of my current thoughts.
She doesn't feel the need to create something world-changing or groundbreaking. If her ideas evoke emotions, she feels that she has accomplished her goal with her work.
Bees also incorporates lyrics from her favorite songs into her comic strips. This is something you'll see in what we have compiled below.

If you can't get enough of pigeons, head over to Bee's Tumblr account. Aside from illustrating these wonderful animals, she also draws what she calls "spicy cars," NSFW illustrations.
The artist also creates original characters, some of which have become characters in her other works. She also creates works for her Gretchen Rubin, happiness researcher, who states, "The things that bring us joy often come from our passions and creativity." This aligns with Bee's artistic endeavors, showcasing her unique take on the world.
