Geez! You have been busy! Didn’t expect that with the new job but I am delighted. Your ink illustrations are inspiration for my own work. Love the 4 crows! Excited for the story!
The most crows* I’ve ever seen at my bird feeder at one time is twelve. Strangely, they mostly stopped feeding there after I put a plastic tray down to catch the crumbs.
* Technically, mostly jackdaws and one or two rooks.
They congregate by the hundreds or thousands around dusk, hang out and talk. It’s impressive. Also when one is killed all the ones in the neighborhood show up. They make an enormous racket and fly around in a big vortex.
Okay, this may seem excessive but hear me out. I think everybody in that town over the age of 75 should be shot. I’m pretty sure they’re all murderers, anyway.
I didn’t make the connection between “Ninecrow” and the song, because in the UK, the song is about magpies. Are those Ed’s crows that Amanda released, or new ones?
‘Who’s ever seen nine crows all at once, anyhow?’
And your comic’s called Ninecrow. Nice, nice.
Also, the most crows I’ve ever seen at once is probably 23. Wonder what that means.
After Amanda's parents divorce, Amanda and her mom relocate to a new town. Amanda's trying to be cooperative about the move, but her mom won't explain why they're there, or even how she heard of the place. As Amanda explores the town and begins to unravel a decades-old disappearance--or more than one--she starts to fear she's in danger too. But as her mom's behavior grows ever more detached and bizarre, will Amanda be able to escape the town's strange pull?
Updates Mondays and Fridays.

Who? Me, every day for the last several years, sometimes hundreds at a time. They rule the air in this city

“Eight for heaven, nine for hell, And ten for the devil’s own sel’ ”
We’ll skip over eight and head straight to the last two
