[...] In book news, I’m slowly getting material together for a print collection of the first ‘Abominable’ chapter, which means producing a bunch of new artwork and some supplemental stuff, as well as reviewing paper stock, figuring out distribution, etc. More about this as events unfold. If you have ideas about things you’d like to see in the book, let me know in the comments! [...]

“Once there was a silly old ram, who tried to put a hole in a dam, “…. Frank Sinatra Reference? Coincidence? maybe.

Oh no, I thought the creepiness was great! The implications just make it funnier, in my opinion. Sorry if it came off wrong.

Whoa hey…I was *not* suggesting that Karl change anything. I think it should be left at “hates the word ‘no’” specifically *because* it’s creepy. Ever read the personals? Some of them are definitely off-putting and I thought it was quite clever to capture a little of that darkness.

As for the book, I’d really like to see more “words of wisdom” from the owl to his son, and maybe more dancing bees :)

Brandon mentioned that it’s good to have supplementary material where people can access it, next the the story it relates to, instead of the back of the book. I would really recommend that as well. I’d certainly love a copy of the book with comics and any other material you have, your art is brilliant, your humour is just my cup of tea, and even these little adverts you’re writing “as a filler” are of top quality.

Wow, I read through the entire archive tonight, I saw this and simply could not stop myself. I think this comic would be touching and beautiful in a book. I wouldn’t overdo it with the supplementary material, the comic stands wonderfully on its own. The only thing I would suggest is perhaps changing some of the order of the strips… putting like strips together may help with continuity. Of course, left as is, it really reminds me of reading newspaper strips when I was a kid.

@ollie Inter-species dating is SO not politically correct.

And probably embarrassing and awkward, just like regular dating.

@argent… or rather in regards that comment…

don’t change anything, it is fine the way it is, don’t get politically corrected

I was doing fine until “bleat”. I don’t know why, but I cracked up on that one. Great work, as always.

Change it to “Hates: the word ‘impossible’”?

That’s how I read it.

I still think he’d be a great match-up with the walrus.

@Brandon: there ARE holograms everywhere. Sticker packs for pre-teen girls turned out to be a bigger market than anyone expected.

Yikes. I guess he does come off as a bit creepy.
I imagined him as a thrill-seeking adrenaline junkie – the ‘hates the word no’ line was meant as more of a ‘don’t tell me it’s impossible’ attitude.
Oh well. Clancy seems like a bit of a self-obsessed jerk anyway, so the more warning signs the better…
