BOXES is the kind of place that some kid gets to give it a go and they turn out to be the vanguard of the next generation. BOXES is established creators giving the rub to the next generation. God knows I know money’s tight right now, but this is important.

Text reads:

Panel 1: What about the birds in my grandmother's garden? (art of a feather.)
Panel 2: What about those birds? (close up of a hand picking the feather up.)
Panel 3: The ones she would see... (art of a young Jamaican girl picking up the feather.)
Panel 4: On her walk to school. (art of the girl looking up at the sky.)
Panel 5: That would hunt lizards... (art of a green lizard.)
Panel 6: Loitering... (the lizard looks up in confusion.)
Panel 7: On warm pavements. (art of a taloned claw grabbing at the lizard.)
Panel 7: (The lizard has been caught.)
Panel 8: The songs that pierce the night, and greet the day.
Panel 9: What of those birds?

2 panel black and white comic page. In panel 1, some spooky looking birds perched in a bare tree.

In panel 2, one of the birds spreads its wings as a small man looks up at it.
