A [[Print Long Runners|long-running]] newspaper comic strip begun in 1977 by Jeff MacNelly
▲A [[Print Long Runners|long-running]] newspaper comic strip begun in 1977 by Jeff MacNelly. It centralizes on a cast of anthropomorphic bird characters, and is titled after a purple martin character named P. Martin Shoemaker, who runs a newspaper called ''The Treetops Tattler''. Other prominent characters include Prof. Cosmo Fishhawk (usually called "Perfessor"); Roz, the owner of a local treetop diner; Skyler, a younger bird; and Loon, a mail carrier and former pilot.
MacNelly worked on this strip and his lesser-known second strip, ''[[Pluggers]]'', in addition to doing illustrations for [[Dave Barry]] columns and several political cartoons. In 1997, he turned over ''Pluggers'' to Gary Brookins; following MacNelly's death in 2000, Brookins took most of the work that MacNelly had previously illustrated, with help from Chris Cassatt and MacNelly's wife, Susie, on ''Shoe''.
