Burt's nude pix

Oh man, I love this already. Such great '80s "dark kids movie" vibes. I eat that shit up. I keep imagining it as a beautifully hand-drawn animated movie with a measured pace, like The Secret of NIMH.

Small touch I think is great: giving the cats black speech bubbles.

The cats freaking out from bowl of fake fruit made me laugh

Jk I'll never read it

[Kaius]

But maybe start a "Verry Scurry" Reaction Thread" for the rest of these shmucks?

[LoathedVermin72]

Is "Skek" a reference to The Dark Crystal?

I absolutely love the first page of part III.

The silhouette of the bird overhead, Pict holding on to a Christmas light. Wonderful, evocative details.

Man, that was great. You might not like hearing this since I know we disagree a bunch, but there are some genuinely interesting ideas in there to me. Can't wait to see where it goes. Is book 2 out yet?

daw thanks. Book 2 is about a third of the way finished. Will hopefully finish it by September.

Don't let Chud give you shit about spoilers. He already got his.

Is "Skek" a reference to The Dark Crystal?

yes. One of the cats is basically Dragon from NIMH too. That's the two main references I think.

Read through my copy yesterday. Nice job, Burt. I especially like how the world feels more filled out with the little asides involving animals presumably unrelated to the main story.

Got mine today

[CopperTom]

I'm out of town Burt, but I expect to find your book crammed into my PO Box when I get home.
