A contemporary political allegory of power, to remind us of the dangers of following a dictator and surrendering your freedom.
Life is simple for the pigeons. They have no desire to contemplate their future or take control of it. Free from responsibility, they are all too willing to submit to a strong authority. This is precisely what a cruel and power-hungry crow was waiting for—a perfect opportunity to wield his natural talents as a tyrant. The crow enforces law and order, but also terror and arbitrary rules. Everyone seems to accept this situation—or maybe, they are too scared to resist. Until an idealistic seagull steps in, determined to challenge the system through debate and free elections.
"A poignant, droll, and expertly drawn exploration of the appeal of authoritarianism. As an American, I found this hits very close to home." —Jen Sorensen, political cartoonist for The Nib
"A perfect parable for our times. A darkly cynical yet comedic look at the politics of fear." —Badiucao and Melissa Chan, authors of You Must Take Part in Revolution
"An allegory of the dangers of dictatorship, at a moment in history when democracy is under threat in the United States and around the world." —Seth Tobocman, author of The Face of Struggle
