What is "Cowbirds in Love"?:
Cowbirds in Love is a webcomic by Sanjay Kulkarni, a medical student. In the words of its creator, it's about "sad things, happy things, science, philosophy and occasionally obligate brood parasitism".
But mostly it's just darn cute.
Early on, illustrations were done in MS Paint, but have now taken on a simple hand-drawn doodle aesthetic. The strips are generally in a vertical, open-panel format. This makes the strip something like the comic equivalent of a standup jazz bass, whereas most comics, like Doonesbury or Andy Capp are more like the fretted electric basses seen in rock bands. I'm kind of getting off topic, but such is the state of mind that Cowbirds in Love produces.
