    for some reason the “y- you wouldn’t” expression made me think of this bird comic, and I had to revise it (excuse my lack of skill and handwriting):

    or just the bottom panel:

    (Note: the original comic is by False Knees)

        in the original comic I guess it’s the bluebird’s first winter

        the artist confirmed their original intent was something like a younger bird learning from an older bird: https://old.reddit.com/r/comics/comments/71jfbn/what_oc/dnb7hr0/

        however, I personally always read it in a more dark interpretation that not only had the blue bird not experienced winter before, but that they were not meant to know what winter is because they were meant die with the coming of winter, and I interpret the bird’s look in the last panel as one of betrayal and sadness for what winter means for them (i.e. death)

        most people I think just interpret the blue bird as being out of the loop and they find it humorous because it responds to everything with “What?”

        I don’t know birds, but I always assumed it was a species of bird that doesn’t migrate for the winter, so hearing another bird talk about leaving for winter is blowing its tiny mind.

        Either that, or it’s just the first winter it’s experiencing, since it’s confused about the color change of the leaves.
