The Call
I was late getting back from the Toronto show, so today’s episode has been split in two. I’ll post the other half later this week, but as it stands, this serves as a nice cliffhanger. ;)
Thanks to all the people who came out to see me at the show. I also had the unexpected pleasure of meeting David Petersen, author of Mouse Guard, who is as nice in person as he is talented. If you like The Abominable Charles Christopher, you’ll love his book.

nice cliffhanger indeed!

Sweet and suspenseful. You’re amazing at setting a new mood, Karl. Keep me coming back…
[Not that I wouldn't, anyway].

I love that they’re cuddling.
I can’t wait till next week!

Great strip Karl, as always. I love the cuddling in panel 2, and Townsen is just awesome. He should have his own strip; the Adventures of Townsen, the Hyperactive Cub.
Happy you came to my b-day, sorry it made you split the strip in 2… But hey, it means two updates of the Abominable Charles Christopher this week. Happy-Happy, Joy-Joy ! :)

Having read many of your comics, I recently stumbled upon Abominable earlier this week and just finally got a chance to catch up yesterday.
Wow.
I love this whole series so far and every character in it is so great! Can’t wait for next wednesday’s release!

Oh! It’s gonna be the little owl! I know it!

Heaven’s but I LOVE this story!

Kabuki, I don’t think the little owl is Townsen’s brother, but you never know in this comic!
Wouldn’t it be great to have a life-size ACC beanie to lay on?! Answer: yeah! Hehe.

Oooh, nice cliffhanger! I hope Townsen is ok.

“Hoooooooooooooo”? Obviously, it’s going to be “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan. U! S! A! U! S! A!

Why do I get the feeling that this is lion/Moon Bear’s doing? Luring the little fox away…

I’ve gotten this far reading these from the beginning back-to-back, and this is incredible. The art, the dialogue to match it, and a somewhat random, completely unstrained progression. So lucky to still have 6 months of these to look at, top notch.
Anyway, I’ve got a bad feeling about where this is going. Maybe I’m a little too stuck in twisted plots, but I’ve got the impression that Moonbear’s time with Vivol may have left her (her?) bitter. It seems she set up the meeting with the sinister Lion, if that Lion wasn’t a manifestation of her outright. Charles leaving behind the pacifier may be alluding to his original, non-aggressive behavior being perverted for some other end.
I don’t want to write a book on the topic, but I can’t imagine any reason an amiable Moonbear would want to take Townsen away from Charles, especially without even letting him know. The sound of the wind, the glow of Moonbear and the demeanor of the Lion are all pressing me into thinking this is all good or all bad. I suppose I’ll know shortly!

This doesn’t bode well..
