... to capture that noir spirit, but it turns out that this is exceedingly difficult in a comic that is already black and white. It was really fun to draw, though.

Also, I hope you like the current build up of tension, as well as the reappearance of Super-Kiwi. I realized it's been quite some time since the last comic they were a part of. Let's see if they and Parrot will be able to rescue Rasta-Pigeon and the beautiful parrot from the wrath of the tits.

Please read the following transcript in a low, smoky voice and imagine some dark and soft violin music, played on an old record player in the background.
Panel 1:
Rain was pouring from the sky, like the tears people cry silently, from time to time, as they contemplate the meaninglessness of existence. Super-Kiwi gazed through the blinds of their window, at a world that had forgotten about them, slowly gathering water like a corpse gathers flies.
Panel 2:
Silently, Super-Kiwi was sitting at their desk, skimming through the mess of meaningless papers that were still more organized than Super-Kiwi's life could ever be. Their gaze wandered to the half empty bottle of cheap rye, as the thoughts of hopelessness, meaninglessness and dissatisfaction were begging them to drink.
Panel 3:
The silent rippling of the rain was suddenly disturbed by the sound of the door opening. Parrot, drenched in rain, crumpled as if they were missing several nights of sleep, but with a gaze of determination, entered the room.
Panel 4:
Super-Kiwi knew that it was the time to push the self-destructive thoughts to the side. They knew that yet another helpless soul had come to seek their help. With the sadness still looming in their eyes, Super-Kiwi gave Parrot an inquiring look.
Panel 5:
Without wasting any valuable seconds with unnecessary words, Parrot produced an image of the foes that destiny had turned into their enemies. The picture showed several tits in a trench coat, who were allegedly guilty of kidnapping their best friend, together with their spouse. At no point in time did the determination show any signs of vanishing from their face.
Panel 6:
Super-Kiwi immediately understood. Anger filled their heart and finally drove away the voluntarily ingested poison of self doubt and cheap whiskey. Parrot's determination had fully transferred to Super-Kiwi, who now knew that there was no time to feel sorry for themselves anymore. Their people needed them!
