The Author: David Kowalick began cartooning in his teens and went on to work as an animator and graphic artist for major newspapers including the NT News and Adelaide News. His illustrations have appeared in magazines, books, and his earlier title ‘The Bottomline’ (2002), a humorous take on angling.
Now a bird guide with Bellbird Tours, David travels across Australia helping others spot rare and fascinating birds. His tours are filled with humorous moments and colourful characters – many of whom find their way into his cartoons.
Fatbirder View:
Lots of wry smiles, a great many chuckles and enough laugh out loud moments for lay readers, with even more fun for us birders who will appreciate every cartoon whether we are the twitcher, the birder or the dude having the piss ripped out of us.
The brightest of avians will love it from their point of view too.
Suspend you inner grump and relax into the pages when it’s too wet, dark, cold or hot midday to be out there ticking, listing and loving birds.
