Big Questions

    (Drawn and Quarterly, 2005-2011)
™ and © Anders Nilson

From the pages of Drawn and Quarterly comes this bizarre tale told by the point of view of a small woodpecker and his bird friend, who discovers a man clad in his underwear eating tree bark and insects and then eventually taking a nap on the forest floor. The man’s actions confuse the birds so much that they go to a snake to ask what’s going on. The sage snake tries to explain. Overall, just strange.
