Awesome Possum #3

*Awesome Possum* has always championed the overlooked wonders of everyday nature, and this 2016 issue from Flying Dodo leans fully into that mission — celebrating the squirrels, opossums, cicadas, and coyotes sharing our cities and backyards rather than the distant megafauna of prestige documentaries. The interior page visible here sets the tone beautifully, making the case that urban and suburban wildlife is every bit as strange and remarkable as anything on a savanna, from primitive marsupials that have outlasted countless competitors to ants building supercolonies in California suburbs. Whether the comics inside are "subversive and funny" or "sweet and touched with wonder," this anthology pitches itself as natural science for the modern age — hilarious, thought-provoking, and refreshingly close to home.
