Bird Brain: Comics about Mental Health, Starring Pigeons

Bird Brain is a collection of brutally honest, brilliantly weird comics exploring what it’s like to live with mental illness … using pigeons. When Chuck Mullin began experiencing anxiety and depression as a teenager, she started drawing comics to help her make sense of the rollercoaster. Eventually, she found that pigeons–lovably quirky, yet universally reviled creatures–were the ideal subjects of a comic about mental illness. Organized in three sections– Bad Times,
Relationships, and Positivity –and featuring several short essays about the author’s experiences, Bird Brain is a highly relatable, chuckle-inducing, and ultimately uplifting collection of comics for anyone who has struggled to maintain their mental health.
