Parenting is hard, and most parents are bound to make mistakes or make bad judgments here and there. For cartoonist Brian Gordon, these parenting failures not only serve as a teaching moment, but also provide him an inspiration for a series of funny comics.
Gordon is the author of Fowl Language Comics, which are described as “comics for imperfect parents”. They follow a family of human-like ducks going through all sorts of humorous and relatable situations. You’ll easily recognize moments from your own family life and probably feel a bit better about them once you realize everyone else is going through the same.
“My comics are largely inspired by my struggles as a parent, my fascination with technology, science and all things geeky,” Gordon shares on his website.
Gordon decided he would become a cartoonist while he was in kindergarten, and according to him, “so far, things are working out okay.” He has an impressive social media following, including 357K followers on Instagram, and has published four Fowl Language books to date: The Struggle Is Real, Welcome to Parenting, Winging It: The Art of Imperfect Parenting, and Tweenage Wasteland. If you ask us, things are working out more than okay.
