Early Birds and Worms


Totally not an early bird with this post.
My first visual ideas for this Illustration Friday were “early bird catches the worm” - but having a reluctant worm which was refusing to get caught… maybe with a speech bubble saying “that’s what he thinks” or “not!” or “not to day chook”
After showing my mum she suggested me to see the flip side of this proverb. So she found this answer/proverb “even a worm will turn”…. Which suited my illustration perfectly. Thanks mum!

May still include speech bubble but don't think it needs any further text...what you think?

Proverb meaning - even the meekest most subservient person will fight back if pushed too far.

  2. Yeah, it is a great concept. I like the determination of the bird--squinted eyes and sweat. That bird is giving his all.
