So ends chapter one! With science! What's even cooler than science facts? Science facts about carrion birds of course!

I love carrion birds, don't you? I made myself leave out some other rather fascinating information about vultures. For instance, one of their main methods of defense is to projectile vomit rotting meat when threatened. Now, aren't you glad I didn't mention that?

So, I wonder if you're wondering about why I decided to inflict scientific factoids about hemoglobin, anthcyanins, and vulture behavior on you. Perhaps a fantasy-ish webcomic seems like an odd venue for this. I feel it's necessary. I could write an essay on the subject. In fact, I probably will. But really all you need to know is: Yes, I know it seems random. Yes, I have my reasons. And, yes, you can expect the pattern to continue.
