I love John Waters flicks, and this one's my favorite forever.

A dairy farm worker in Texas, who had no contact with sick or dead birds, suddenly began displaying symptoms in late March.

Remembering Moebius (Jean Giraud - 8 May 1938 - 10 March 2012), one of the most innovative artists of the 20th century.
"Giraud's penname Moebius first popped up in 1963, in a series of short stories published in Hara-Kiri. In later years, Moebius would become world famous for his science-fiction, artistic and erotic art. He is admired for his many collaborations with Alejandro Jodorowsky."
