About Brainwaves
Dip your toes into BRAINWAVES and let Betsy Streeter’s stream-of-consciousness cartoon panel wash away your anxieties with its cool, clear insights and unabashed enjoyment of our irony-enhanced world. Streeter savors the absurd differences between what we do and what we think we do, and daily notes the deliciously strange juxtapositions that save our sanity. Whether her bemused humans find themselves in the clothing store, the cubicle, the doctor’s office or the traffic jam, there’s always an epiphany at hand. A veteran cartoonist whose drawings have appeared in Funny Times, "The New Breed", and numerous magazines, newsletters and textbooks, Streeter describes her work as being about "working, driving, hunting and gathering, impressing our friends, and the like." "As long as there’s laughter somewhere," she notes, "we’re all going to make it."

Indeed.
As a bird walks, it keeps its head in one place then rapidly moves it forward. Sort of like how a human ice skater keeps their head stationary looking at a fixed point as they spin, then rapidly moves it to look at a new fixed point so they don’t get dizzy. Not that a bird would get dizzy, it’s just easier to process a series of still images than moving ones in some circumstances.

yes , but clearly this is a liberal socialist bird who is trying to take control of our very thoughts and deeds and who is trying to take our guns away and kill our unborn children and. the THE SKY IS FALLING THE SKY IS FALLING!!!!!….

oops!…..I’m so used to seeing conservative ravings in the comments section of these comics that a thoughtful observation about bird behavior seemed so …..refreshing and informative and therefore out of place, that it need some rants…..
just kidding, of course…..

So, birds get dizzy when they walk but not when they fly? Does the need for still images have anything to do with their eyes being on either side of their head? This raises so many questions.
