As many of you are well aware, I am the hardest working web comic artist on the net. I know this for a fact because I read a good number of other web comics and i can't think of a single one that takes me as long to read as it takes me to create a new strip. Naturally, part and parcel with this comes the fact that I am forever struggling with things like talking animals and breaking walls.

I, for one, will never use the tired old cliche of a 'talking animal'. It seems like since comics began, some hacks have resorted to having some animal yammering on and on, and I just find it wrong. And there have been an endless stream of them too, each ones trying to be unique and interesting; cats, dogs, sheep, cows, moose, squirrels, monkeys, people, it's just the same thing over and over again.

Rest assured that I will never fall into that trap.
