This was one of the best series I’ve ever read, can’t wait for the book. Gifting it to every artist I know.

NicolleFR

From what I remember the heron and crow (though our crows are different to yours) and then there is the barn owl which we get over here but are far less prolific! I'd love a comic set in the UK though, especially if it covered out Corvids (my favourite family!)

Sandy Kavanaugh, of Hens' Haven.

I finally got to see the finale! Bravo!

kl

I would love to know if you saw any birds you recognized, or that looked familiar to your local birds.

Sean Gallagher

Loooooooved this whole series. And also, the oriole is the perfect partner, given the way they weave nests. :D

NicolleFR

Thank you! I'm British so I don't know much about NA birds!

kl

Wait, not elm, but cottonwood?

kl

It seems likely to be a Baltimore oriole. ♥️

NicolleFR

I'm dying to know what kind of bird the little one is! I did some searching to try and find out myself, focusing on NA birds (knowing that's your location, I assumed that's where it was set), but none of the ones that came up seemed to match!

kl

I look forward to hearing you tell us about the new creation hung up on the barn, in place of the skull. 😄

Hannah Blackstone

A wonderful story with a magical use of color

Stephanie

Thank you for creating and sharing this beautiful story. I looked forward to it every day of Kneesvember!

Malena Astrom

Loved this and am sad it is over, it was a great Kneesvember!!! ❤️

Marney

I've enjoyed this gorgeous series SO much!!! Thank you for sharing it with the world!

Annika

Thank you for this wonderful story Joshua!! It's been such a highlight every day to follow this story ❤

Jonathan Hironaga

I love this story and look forward to sharing it with others. Great work! Today's panels remind me of hanafuda (Japanese playing cards).

Holly Lynn Walker

And that last panel should definitely be a print. It has so much hope and inspiration in it.

Holly Lynn Walker

I looked forward to these every day. What a beautiful story. I know from reading the comments that your audience felt alongside and related to the many emotions of your little owl. This is a lot of work. So thank you for all your hard work over the month. ❤️

Stacy Surla

This is a masterpiece. Being able to look forward to the daily installment has helped me through a difficult month. Thank you! Take as long a rest as you need now! (But hopefully not too long)

Leslie

This was an amazing journey. Thank you so much for letting us take it with you ❤️

Lori Stokes

Myrtle and the friend! And a natural world at peace …with frog nests. Thank you, Joshua!!

Corintha Hull

This is such a beautiful story. It really does make my heart so very happy. Thank you so so much for sharing it with us. I am really looking forward to snagging the book when it comes out.

Marta Barnez

This made my month 😭❤️ that panel with Myrtle and friend and then that last one. Gah, this is the best! Thank you so much for posting, I can’t wait to buy the book 🥹

Jenny C

Joshua, thank you for a beautiful kneesvember. I look forward to holding the book in my hands and rereading the story

kl

Oh gosh, the plants in this one, too! From top to bottom, they remind me of milkweed, jewelweed, and maybe an elm tree…? What do others see?

Irene Roga

Glad to see that even Myrtle has a new partner (that I'll call Margriet). Thanks a lot for making this comic, you made my sun shine every morning with this story ♥♥♥

Aren

This was amazing, just like Spores. You have a rare gift for visual storytelling ☺️

Aurellie

I felt for Barnie and the story all the time, but the panel with Myrtle and the friend birb was the first time I was tearing up ❤️ The story is perfect through and through. Thank you so much for it. And I need a "What shall I make today" print.

Nay

This was beautiful. I didn’t cry, though, not at all 🥲

Aike

The tadpoles in the nest☺️ Congratulations on this wonderful story! It was a great gift to read it every day.

Holly Neilson

I have to say too that same thing has happened with Hop! and Spores… it’s truly remarkable. There’s such subtlety and warmth in your work. Thank you for doing these long-form stories ! ❤️🦉❤️

Holly Neilson

I didn’t realize how engaged I’d become until that last panel…. I had this real rush of emotion that Ms Barnie looked so fulfilled and content. Who knew an owl could smile??

Melsa Hvarei

That was such an absolutely lovely story. Thank you so much!

Lopaka

Also thanks to Barnie for it's creativity.

Lopaka

Like the tadpoles in the frog's nest. Thanks for your creativity.

Dear Joshua, In a world where human things feels too fast, where people and art rarely have space and time to take space and time, and where appreciations of simplicity rarely feel authentic, you've told story that feels at once gentle powerful. While I always receive and open my patreon emails of your comics with gusto and curious enthusiasm, this month I did so with a kind of intensity that was well met with something that felt, on the whole, more vulnerable and deeply personal. Don't get me wrong. I'm still looking forward to crows breaking rules, but I hope you keep exploring some of the new things you were touching on in here too. I'm glad that you're out there making these. It feels important. Thank you.

Cinzia Floris

Do humans have nests? I think I'll need one from now on!

Sandy Kavanaugh, of Hens' Haven.

Pray or sacrifice to your muse, Joshua! She's earned it it. And the finale is perfect.

THANK YOU for all this beauty and wonder this month!!

Patrick Kennedy

Oh gosh, I love the scene with the friend birb sleeping in a birb hammock 🥰🥰

Elizabeth T

Well done and a well-deserved break! I think after the Hurl incident I’m sure the comments were questioning where the story was going, but we trust you to tell a beautiful tale no matter what the outcome and you’ve spun/woven such a beautiful story! Out of destruction comes new beginnings and I am here for it!

cloverhawk

Can't believe I got the treat of TWO false knees stories this fall!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Jessica K

Amazing, the bird sticker sheet was one of the first things I bought from the false knees store and the barn owl has been on my laptop ever since. So happy that there was a full story made about an owl, thank you for kneesvember ♥

Ash

What a wonderful story, thank you!

Kim Nowell Troupe

You nailed it once again. Everytime you get me right in the feels. I look forward to the book so I can make all my peeps read it. ❤️

I love this so much. I was worried when HURL hurt our owl friend's feelings. Can't wait to snag this one as a book too.

Stephanie D'Souza

Myrtle got a friend too! So cute

Courtney Teter

Thank you so much for this. ❤️

Our owl friend made a community. What CAN’T they make? ♥️ My heart is aflame. Thank you, Joshua.

When the hot chocolate is perfect temperature, you've got to enjoy it! That's one of life's lesser known rules. Thank you for this lovely journey! Congratulations!
