Announcement: Maura the Mole

PaulEberhardt on April 30, 2024

Hi, everyone!

Master the Tiger is going to get some new pages eventually…. I'm always saying that, aren't I? ;) But I'm serious! At least I've done some pencilwork recently, and as soon as I'll have finished correcting the big pile of class tests gathering mould in front of me I'll continue working on it.

For the meantime, I've uploaded a short comic in storybook format that has been published in print before. It's called Maura the Mole

It's going to launch tomorrow morning at the turn of the day, whenever that is in Duck time and automatically update most days until 19th May. Having pre-uploaded it is just a safety measure, though, in case my internet gets wonky or something. I'll be here all the time.

Maura the Mole is a short illustrated story in verse that can be read not just by children but also by grown-ups. In point of fact, some people would say it isn't a children's book at all, only that it's literally all ages and the kids enjoy the drawings, too.
After it had first appeared in print, I got a lot of feedback about the many things that people can see in Maura's story, from just a bit of fun to profound philosophical interpretations, all of which curiously make sense, even if I hadn't thought of them while drawing and rhyming it.
I'm really curious about what all you cool people here on the Duck think, I won't go into more detail for now, to avoid spoilers. Let's say, expect the unexpected. If you know this comic, you'll recognize the style but will find there are some differences in tone and general approach.

I hope you like it, and as I said I'm going to post some new shenanigans of Gundi and her Tiger, too, as soon as I can. It takes me a long time to get anything done these days, but I won't be satisfied until I have.
