How to Tell the Birds from the Flowers.

The Clover. The Plover.

The Plover and the Clover can be told apart with ease, By paying close attention to the habits of the Bees. For entomologists aver, the Bee can be in Clover, While etymologists concur, there is no B in Plover.

The Quail. The Kale.

The California Quail is said To have a tail upon his head, While contrary-wise we style the Kale, A cabbage head upon a tail. It is not hard to tell the two, The Quail commences with a queue.

The Parrot. The Carrot.

There’s something about Fran @crazygnomenclature and good timing that’s impossible to ignore.

The general idea for this strip was planned out quite a while in advance, and it mulled around until pride month was about to begin.

Earlier this week, Fran sent me a video of some rainbow shoes she got.  They’re cool! 

A day or two later, I mentioned the next comic would be about Rainbow Capitalism, and she responded with, “Looking forward to see that after showing you my new sneakers, lol”

I hadn’t figured out exactly what the words for this strip would be yet, but her statement sparked the idea for the introduction.

Eleventh hour Fran from the top rope!

Regarding Rainbow Capitalism, I 100% get that some folks aren’t going to agree with me here, and that’s ok.  But please consider leaning into cheering on the companies that celebrate pride month, and consider celebrating the ones that join in the future, even if they’re companies that have dropped it right now.

We need all the support we can get, and having pride being something seen as positive by as many folks as possible, corporate reasons or otherwise, is a win. 

So wear those rainbow shoes!  Get a rainbow bagel!  Go to some pride events!

I’ll be volunteering myself at a couple local ones which I’m excited for!

If you’re safe and able, try to get involved, even a tiny bit!

Whether it’s volunteering, supporting local businesses or initiatives, being visible, etc, every little bit helps!
