Sitting Ducks is a lithograph created by the poster artist Michael
Bedard in 1977. It depicts a literal interpretation of the idiom
"sitting duck". Three ducks are relaxing in the sun on white chairs by
the poolside, one looks up and notices two bullet holes in the
wall.Bedard then went on to create an entire series of "Sitting Ducks"
related lithographs, which culminated in a children's book, a cartoon
series and a video game.Bedard's 1998 book, Sitting Ducks
