...state and nature vs. technology. (He even overlays animals on the UPC code of his books.) In "Blood Song," often these themes will overlap as when the young woman flees the police. The chase transforms into an ecstatic dance amid traffic lights, parking meters and pedestrians.

...ring," "poff" and "boom." All of them feature a bird-man character with webbed feet and a crow's beak wearing a jacket and hat from the 1950s. The stories mix reality with nonsense, and humor with sadness. One episode has the bird-man followed around by a skeleton no one else can see. Unable to ditch the specter of death, bird-man accepts him as a houseguest, sharing his snacks and bathroom. When bird-man suddenly dies, killed by a meteorite falling on top of him, death seeks out a new friend who will undoubtedly die soon...
