76: Chewing

Photo Description:
Panel 1: Purple gradient dawn sky with a green and brown tree and a big nest full of spoons between the branches. The nest belongs to Rye, a crow currently sitting in it. On a nearby branch is a pelican named Deep Dish biting the edge of a spoon.
Rye asks, “ARE YOU HUNGRY?”
Deep Dish responds, “NO, CHEWING JUST CALMS MY NERVES.”

Panel 2: In the middle of the woods with green grass and mushrooms covering the ground and a sky that is dark blue with white stars are an oriental bay owl named Dumpling and Deep Dish. Deep Dish has Dumpling’s malachite chunk in his mouth.

Panel 3: Background is dirt ground of various browns, reds, oranges, and greens. There are patches of kelly grass around. In the very back is a burrow which is assumed to be where Potato lives, the burrowing owl that owns the copy of “Slipper the Penguin: A Story About Embracing Neurodivergence” that’s in Deep Dish’s mouth.

Panel 4: A barn owl named Cupcake is in her nest. Her nest is a variety of browns with a single forget-me-not flower on the outside. She’s in a green and brown tree with a orange and dark blue sunset background. Next to her is Deep Dish, who has his mouth around her round head. She giggles with a happy face.
