Kate Beaton has a new comic up—a longer and more serious one than you might be used to if you just bump into her stuff online every once in a while. It’s also 100 percent fantastic, and you should read it immediately. It’s all online, and Beaton’s short introduction (“Ducks is about a lot of things, and among these, it is about environmental destruction in an environment that includes humans”) is all you need to know beforehand.

With honor and distinction, Erik Henriksen served as the executive editor of the Portland Mercury from 2004 to 2020. He can now be found at henriksenactual.com.
