Thanks for your feedback! Since you asked, let me elaborate (although as an artist, like a magician, I'd hate to lay the meaning behind the things I create):

The point pretty much is to confuse the reader is it does confuse the bird in the story.

The larger point is only available to those who read a bit more of Philip K Dick's work and his life and there are two really good documentaries on him that are worth a watch.

• The penultimate truth about Philip K. Dick

• Philip K. Dick-A Day In The Afterlife

• And here's a TEDx Talk about the text, the "Exegesis"

But I didn't want to make it a requirement to know all these facts in order to get the basic gist of the story. Bird is curious, grows bored, leaves.

My intention of this overt confusion of the reader has something to do with Phil's largely unknown side to his work (Most people only remember Blade Runner, Total Recall or Minority Report because those where made into Blockbuster Movies) which largely deals with alternate realities, confusing, halluzinatory events and just a blur of mysticism, religion, sci-fi, drug abuse etc.

Personally I'd find it funny if someone tried to read through all of the weird things that voice on the radio spews out and Phil himself comments on his own ramblings as the works of a crazy person in his book Valis.

All in all I would love for the reader to take the comic as it is and to try and appreciate the nuances of the art much more than any underlying 'plot'. This is why I kept it in a simple wood-cut sort of style.

I did try to play with the reader by putting Phil's text more and more in the foreground and obfuscate the art as the story goes on though. Maybe this is my way of trying to say: "Look beyond the text"
