Sir, Butler and Boy ~ Pheasant Plucker ~ Page 1
So my only experience in pheasant hunting involves accidentally wandering through one in Wales and it being very very loud. Research tells me that you get people who are beaters and their job is to wander through the underbush waving flags to scare the birds up into the air for the other people to shoot them.
There’s often a dog involved who goes and fetches the dead birds and brings them back, however (if you haven’t noticed already) this comic only has these three characters in it. There’s been a couple of times when I could have introduced other living things but there’s something in this story about having vignettes that focus on just the three of them, adding to this feeling of secrecy I’m going for.
If you haven’t seen it the minority monster book is now available in the brand new store!
You can pick it up online or in person this weekend if you’re going to London Comic Con. Here’s a map of where me and all the other queer stuff is!

Of course, part of his problem is that going by the first panel he appears to be using a rifle rather than a shotgun.
I like to imagine that John deliberately set him up. :-3
It might also be that shotguns of that time look a lot like rifles. My grandpa had me hold a single-barrel shotgun from the late 1800s and I remember it looking a lot like a rifle to me.
I believe we’re generally speaking about the single bullet in panel 1 which implies a rifle rather than a shotgun.
My knowledge of guns is basically zero- I referenced this one from a photo from a pheasant shoot so it’s probably too modern
Gun looks right, just the actual bullet in panel one looks wrong <3
The Cabela’s hunting game for Wii says you use single shot for animals like deer and gopher and shot that spreads out for birds. If you make a hit with something other than approved shot, you get a “unethical hunting” penalty. Of course, they fail to remind players that it’s unethical to leave the animal you just killed and go about your way.
I was about to say I believe you usually use bird shot for hunting, but I dnt have much experience shooting outside of a range.
