Silent Comic Links: Shirley Hughes

Shirley Hughes is a well known comic artists who wrote her fist adult comic called "Bye Bye Birdie". I found this comic to be quite surreal based on the premise and some of its imagery which I found out of the ordinary. The comic itself was a black and white silent comic.
I discovered her work in Waterstones many years ago and what I found very interesting about the comic was who it looked like it was made in the early twentieth century in additional to the surreal imagery. What I found quite interesting was how it was all wordless and that there is an extent on the pacing of the panels and the moments of the pictures.
