Fishing back around Fairy Tale Parade #1 and Walt Kelly's story of ... no, it still says Thumbelisa (see https://comicbookplus.com/?dlid=27602 page 16). Anyway I finally ratcheted together enough courage to try drawing the bird that Thumbelina nurses back to life. Birds are hard shapes to draw, so I picked the one that was easiest --- no legs, no wings --- and I have a respectable-enough bird wrapped in a blanket or scarf. In exchange, I muffed Thumbelisa's head, but she's got all that over-complicated hair.
I'm still doing word balloons in all caps, although Kelly did these fairy tale comics in mixed case. I might try that. I don't know that I'll ever have the courage to try his hand-lettered mixed-case with serifs.

Well, gosh, thank you. When I was looking at the hard and the easy parts of the picture, I thought the shape of the open beak was going to be the hardest part. (Well, that I would have a chance at; Thumbelina/lisa's hair I know is beyond what I can do. Some week I'm just going to spend drawing hair and maybe make progress on that.) Part of the trick is that the joint between upper and lower beak is inside the skin, so there's vertical space between where the upper and lower beak meet the mouth. In the original picture, at least; I can't get close enough to the area sparrows to see how true that is to life.
