A classic pre-color Speed Bump from January 30, 2008.

Even certain bluebirds have off days ... Cheezburger from February 18, 2012.

Of the six women cartoonists who rotate on the page where Six Chix appears in the newspaper, Margaret Shulock has bird toons most often ... the others, not so much (and I have never seen anything even close to a bird-themed strip from either Anne Gibbons or Benita Epstein).  Today, the only strip in my archives from Stephanie Piro, which I have been holding off on posting until we started seeing snow in those areas of the country that get same.  From January 26, 2013.

I'm a few days late for this to be right on the mark timely, but here is a New Year themed Mutts from January 2, 2013.

A rare anthropomorphic turn for Dan Piraro in this Bizarro from January 17, 2010 ... with a punchline that (more typical for Dan) turns a cliché on its side.

Another one of those Frank and Ernest groaners, from December 19, 2010.

Another of Jason Love's "Snapshots".

I wanted to start the New Year with the very first Calvin and Hobbes bird-related toon, but was chagrined to find that I already posted the first two in the course of 2015.  (This is the result of not having been able to properly calculate the original publication dates, which I am now able to do, having located my bound set of The Complete Calvin and Hobbes.)  So here is the third C&H to have a bird theme, from September 13, 1987:

Today's Cheezburger photo (from April 21, 2013) is my way of gently reminding you, if you attend a New Year's Eve party tonight, please don't drink and drive.  I'd like you to be around tomorrow as we start another year of bird 'toons!
