Rat? Dog? Marmot? Perhaps a strange ferret?
I have no idea what it really is.

I’m currently listening to the audiobook “Earthborn”, the fifth and final book in the “Homecoming” series by Orson Scott Card (an utterly awsome author), and I’ve undoubtedly drawn some inspiration from one of the species there. The Diggers (also know as Devils, lower people or tunnelers depending on whome you speak to) are large ratlike creatures. They are strong, cunning and vicious, yet some tribes are honorable and civilized beings.
My rat-thing looks nothing like what I imagine the Diggers to be, but the image must have come from somewhere, and I’m damn sure I’ve never seen any rodents the past few weeks.

That being put out of the way, I’m happy to inform you that I’ve begun on a new comic strip. Just the storyboard so far, but things usually speed up once I have that in place…
