“This Guy’s Comics Hilariously Sum Up the Truth About Being a Parent.”—Buzzfeed Parenting can be a magical journey full of bliss and wonder . . . if you're on the right meds. For the rest of us, it's another thing altogether.

Author Information

A million years ago, Brian Gordon spent his time staying out late, hitting the clubs and eating at fancy restaurants.    And then suddenly … CHILDREN. While he loved being a dad more than anything else, he also noticed that at times, parenting can be a total crap-fest.    In the summer of 2013, Brian began drawing Fowl Language as a fun (and often profane) way to vent his frustrations. After getting laid off from his job as a greeting card artist, he decided to pursue the comic full-time. His work quickly became an Internet viral sensation, and is shared regularly by millions of people all over the world.
