This has been a lot of work for an only-mildly-amusing joke. Once again I've totally failed to keep to a single frame. In fact in trying to keep it to a minimum that middle frame is pretty busy.

I've made crow's main colour a little darker, which is an improvement. One thing we know about crows is that they're black, really black. This all fits in with this story, but that wasn't intentional, just a happy coincidence.

With thanks to cartooning friend Area 5.1 for helpful suggestions with this one. http://area5-1.webcomic.ws/comics/76/
