Shoe (comic strip)
Shoe is an American comic strip about a motley crew of newspapermen, all of whom are birds. It was written and drawn by its creator, cartoonist Jeff MacNelly, from September 13, 1977, until his death in 2000. MacNelly's last strip was dated July 9, 2000; it has since been continued by Chris Cassatt, Gary Brookins, Ben Lansing, and Susie MacNelly (Jeff's widow).
Shoe had its own monthly comic book in Norway for a six issues in 1987 under the name "Sjur", which consisted of reprints from newspapers. In 1989, Shoe was published again in Norway, under the name "Krax", appearing as an extra-feature in the Calvin and Hobbes magazine.
The strip won MacNelly the National Cartoonists Society's Reuben Award for the year 1979.
Shoe deals with the day-to-day foibles of a group of newspaper employees and their families, all of whom are portrayed as anthropomorphized birds, in the fictional locale of Treetops, East Virginia. During hunting season, "hunting dogs" (hounds with rifles, a visual pun on the sharp-sniffing canines that hunters use to track game) are occasionally featured.
