I have one of her drawings as a tattoo (with her permission- it’s part of a panel from the long form Bird and Moon story) and I luff it.
Also, ‘beware, I have activated the fluffy ears’ and ‘it is a dewlap, does it not terrify?’ From threat displays are frequently uttered in my house.

Rosemary is one of the few communicators who make me feel like I can actually productively contribute to mitigating climate collapse. When I feel hopeless and overwhelmed, I look up her comics.
She is also friendly and kind and the interactions I've had with her around our webcomics have always been lovely.

She's wonderful! My coworkers are birders and love her mnemonic bird sound posters:

I have loved her comics for a long time but had not connected the climate change comics with the bird comics, and now I love her even more.
