Greetings From Dogpatch 13: The Boys
New page! I don’t have much to say other than gosh I love drawing Ivory. And Hank. Maybe I should have just made this comic about Ozarkian bird people.
Also I need to talk about Monster Bones again! We’ve decided to start posting each page of the new Weird Pets comic for every $25 donated! The cover and the first two pages are already up for you to read! If you like it and you want to read the rest, a donation of 5 dollars will get you the whole comic! And anything above 5 dollars will get you the comic and 5 desktop wallpapers! The next page is only 15 dollars away! So how about it? Support Monster Bones!

Nooooo, bird extinction ;~;. I used to cry about ivorybills, I will die if you make a Carolina parakeet totem :c.
I feel dumb just realizing that Gabe has double wings.
If it makes you feel better, I didn’t notice til I read your comment.
Maybe when the natural species that a spirit animal derives from gets into trouble, so do they. As previous commenters have noted, there have been no confirmed sightings of the ivory-billed woodpecker in the wild for some time, and though it might not be extinct, there is a fair chance that the population is no longer viable. >:=(>
That was the first idea to cross my mind too.
So, Hank is a spirit guide, right? He’s based off a chicadee. Marshal and Ivory are also Spirit Guides based on birds. If we can assume all Spirit Guides’ transforming abilities are generally the same, why doesn’t Hank have arms in addition to his wings? I am assuming it is a midform preference, but wouldn’t it be much more useful to have hands when handling a shotgun?
Magic can sorta make end rounds past normal biology. Looks like Hank uses his magic to allow his flight feathers function like fingers in this form, which, as you said, is likely just a matter of his personal preference.
I would read a comic about Ozarkian bird people.
“… Teachin’ the boys all I know before I’m gone for good.”
“I was under the impression that spirit animals like yourself were immortal.”
Boy, way to answer a question I had about totem animals with a tearjerker, Kory!
“comic about Ozarkian bird people” <– I would totally read this, too.
so why does Hank have wing hands but Ivory have back wings and talon hands?
At a guess, personal preference and enough inherent magic that they can tell the normal laws of biology where to get off.
I don’t worry too much about this kind of thing. I still haven’t figured out Pluto and Goofy.
Funny, that’s something I wondered about too. XD
How many wings has Gabe anyway?
Since his/her 1st appearance (and in the cast pictures) looks like it’s 4 wings.
Thanks

I’ve got buttloads of pilliated around my house, but never even knew of the ivory billed woodpecker.
