Around 2009, just as the newspaper biz was falling apart, I authored a set of ecologically-based cartoons with cartoonist Chris Bittle. Our strip was called Water’s Edge, and it told the story of the birds of Peekeesquonk Bay who must deal with the polluting of their environment. We managed to get it reviewed and rejected twice by the Washington Post syndicate. But I still love the characters. So here they are in all their feathered glory.
