Birds and the Lees — Eternal Beach City (Patreon)

I’m fully aware that not everyone in the world is familiar with “bird theory” but weirdly, I feel somewhat hesitant to give those out of the loop any indication as to what the fuck Kayla is talking about here. It’s not that I want people to not get the joke. Maybe I’m just imagining people going on an investigative journey, and I don’t wish to set the escape room that is this comic to “easy mode” if I don’t have to. I suppose I’d be okay with “normal mode” though, which is why I have provided the term to search. That is to say, “bird theory”.

There is one thing I want to let you in on. Only because unless you’ve gotten yourself access to the bonus panels, there’s no way you could know about this. And that’s a term which I may have just coined: “mad-sturbating”.

Has anyone else ever used that before? I kinda don’t want to look it up and ruin it for myself when I discover it was the title of a short-lived, CBS sitcom from 2002. Assuming it was not though, I encourage you to incorporate this portmanteau into your vocabulary so as to spread its awareness far and wide.

Also, another (possibly) new entry in your vocabulary: “portmanteau”! I know I can’t take credit as that word’s author. But it is a pretty cool one to have locked and loaded for when the perfect opportunity strikes!
