“Mom’s Flock” by Sharon Rosenzweig

Through Riva Lehrer and Laydeez do Comics, we’ve learned of a project by Chicago artist Sharon Rosenzweig called “Mom’s Flock.”

The comic panels can be seen here: http://annals.org/article.aspx?articleid=2411852.

As Sharon introduces the project, “This is my mother. I brought her the chicks. And then I listened and took notes of what happened.”

    That’s lovely. I hope when I’m old someone will bring me chickens. Around here they’re known as “Farmer TV”. I could watch them all day long.

    This story, and the story-within-the-story, told as their are in comic art form, delights the mind, the eye and the heart (and perhaps the stomach eventually as well): the daughter’s inspiration and creative devotion, the mother’s inventive analysis of the goings-on, their ability to find joy in the dottiness of old-age and of course, the chickens’ life-giving talents… What a treasure, can’t wait to see more!

    Congratulations on the preview in Graphic Medicine! I think you have achieved a medical breakthrough without the medical part. What a thoughtful, uplifting, and generous way to help your mom. I loved seeing your presentation at Laydeez do Comics, and am so excited to see “Mom’s Flock” previewed here.

    Oh, this is wonderful! I’m currently involved in a project at a nursing home, advising them on how to install a coop and chickens for their memory loss residents to watch and be engaged with.
