Radio cartoonist? A cartoonist for the radio? Yup. NPR has the story of Mo Willems, a great children's book author, and his new ideas for radio.
And, if you haven't read Willems' series of Pigeon books, you're missing out. Seriously good pigeon humor with those kid books. And, really? Who DOESN'T like a good dose of pigeon humor?
AND, as a brief aside, who doesn't appreciate pigeon poetry? Pigeons and poetry? Indeed!
From the site...
The Red Room Company commissioned eight poets from across the country to each write a poem that would be raced by thoroughbred pigeons on August 3, 2008. Punters studied an online form guide of the poets, pigeons and poems that flew, and made "bets" by donation. The birds homed from Stanwell Tops to Mt Ousley on NSW's South Coast, covering about 60km between 15 and 20 minutes. See below for the details of each pigeon, poet and poem that flew, and explore the rest of the site to find out what happened on the field.
