Fantastic strip!! I only started reading it today so it was really fun going through each panel and having array of emotional experiences. I totally love all your characters.
I’m going to spread the word of your strip to the rest of T&T (Can’t wait till next Wednesday)
That frightened smile on the new character in the last panel is just another example of your amazing talent. I can’t get how you can portray the emotions so well on animals, it’s awesome.
Your art is breathtakingly beautiful. There is no question of that. Your writing, however, as well as the synthesis of both, is/are truly masterful. Astonishing work. Touching. Funny. Gorgeous.
Hi, been reading since the beginning. This comic cracked me up. I’ve been on all three sides of this conversation. and in one instance I mean this EXACT conversation. <..> Gets outsa my head!
Thanks everyone! This one came out of nowhere. I had started drawing a different strip and then had the idea for the wind joke in the shower. Which is where most of my ideas come to me.
Louisa: That little guy IS a lemming! I love that you noticed!
Crash: There’s EVERY chance that I’ll be doing ACC sketches! Come by my table and I’ll hook you up. I’ll probably also bring some prints, and I’m thinking of doing a Calgary-specific illustration for the event.
Hooray, I identified the little rodent right! Wonderful job drawing a lemming, then; I’ve only seen a few pictures and figured that’s what it was right away.
I love how well you draw wildlife. It’s accurate, yet just anthropomorphosized enough to allow for excellent expression.

Bravado may be a happy-go-lucky guy(fox) for the most part, but his admonishment is FIERCE!
I friggin’ love this comic. It is far and away some of the best comics I’ve ever seen. Keep the good stuff coming, please.

Your webcomic has flown right to the top of the list for me. I’m looking forward to every update. Thanks!

This is such a great story. I love this comic. Beautiful - still not sure which print I will buy - each week gets better :)

hahahahahahaha
yer awesome, Karl
your strip totally reminds me of Bone. So beautiful. so funny!

The fox’s indignation is priceless. Also, I love the way that lemming(?) just instantly agrees that he is the wind, deadpan.
January 30th, 2008 at 5:36 pm
A new character! What is he, though? Looks a little bit like a chinchilla.
And clearly, getting on our little fox’s bad side isn’t a good idea.
January 30th, 2008 at 5:55 pm
Oh, complete and utter SQUEE. That is obscenely cute.
January 30th, 2008 at 6:01 pm
That made me laugh.

pure greatness.

OK, take all this praise from the kindly readers above, add a dash of sincere admiration and heap my praise on the pile.
Lovely stuff.

Nice try little rodent
January 31st, 2008 at 10:14 am
That is a world class wind impression he’s got there. Very windy for such a little guy. I love him, he might be my new favourite.
January 31st, 2008 at 10:26 am
Brilliant.
I like how the little guy just affirms hi being the wind right away, and the cold, unemotional distain of the fox is prescious.
Good work.

January 31st, 2008 at 3:03 pm
Hey! I got the print I ordered! It’s beautiful!
January 31st, 2008 at 8:18 pm
is that a sheepish grin on the lemming in the last panel?
yup, now that’s funny.
loving the strip and count me in for a pre-order of vol. 1.
February 1st, 2008 at 10:22 am
I really love this comic. I hope you plan to release it on paper someday. :)
February 1st, 2008 at 7:37 pm
You’re going to be at the Calgary Expo! YAY!
Any chance you’ll be doing ACC sketches?

I was just pointed in this direction by Crowfeather. I just had to read through the archives at once, it is that good. Genius!

You TELL ‘em, Bravado!
February 5th, 2008 at 2:49 pm
I love the look on the face of the fox when he says ‘Liar!” Priceless!

Hey, is it Wednesday yet in Canada? I need my fix!

<3 Foxy.

I was thinking it was a pika (not a lemming) but the ears are too small.
