🦆 Effin’ Birds by Aaron Reynolds is perhaps the wittiest, no-holds-barred, internet comic that I have come across. It is a great play on “flipping the bird”. Certainly not for everyone (my wife does not find the humor in this 😁). But it carried me through some low points in 2025. I got the comic’s…
