Description A euphemism is an innocuous word or phrase that is used in place of something stronger or offensive. Why does the corvus improba talk in euphemisms? We don't know. Why does it like hats? We don't know. If there is an euphemistic raven, is there then also a dysphemistic raven? We hope not.

And yes, I was totally inspired by Joshua Barkman's wonderful comic Falseknees when I drew this. Check it out if you haven't yet:  falseknees.com/

Haha! I remember this one comic I read once where someone had the plan of teaching all the ravens along a hiking trail to cry RUN to creep people out.

Some say it could be an explanation for ghostly voices in the wilderness

Oh, right, I recognize that! I heard something similar on a podcast, where they talked about stories of crying ghosts in the wilderness, and how it could have been the mating call of cougars that people had heard.

Many sounds like that in the UK are foxes.

Oh yeah, I once woke up in the middle of the night by a fox screaming outside my window. That is one weird sound.

And then someone hearing your combined screams would scream too.
