  3. That's a really cool introduction! I like the layouts of the panels and the way the gremlins are sat down to hear a story. I think that's a good way to start the story and it draws the reader into hearing a tale outside of the main perhapanauts story.

    1. I'm glad your into it raindog,I worked really hard on it and it's the first story I've written. I've never worked in panels before only spot illustrations for the other books I've been involved in, so it was quite a challenge to figure out layout and whatnot. Thanks for reading.

  4. Thanks for all of your comments on Steve's wonderful story! As with previous Tales from the Perhaps stories, we hope to include this one in an upcoming trade, although the page count for our current Danger Down Under! trade is already quite high. Probably the next one...
    And thanks again to YOU, Steve, for the really GREAT job!

  5. Great job. The story had the feel of a classic legend or fable.

    1. Thank you Brian,that is what I was going for. I'm a really big fan of books like Usagi Yojimbo and Blade of the Immortal, so it was kind of a love letter to that style of story telling, glad you got it.

  6. And if anyone reading this wants to share it on whatever social media they have, like Rocky did, feel free. The more people that read these tales will help bring in new readers of the actual print series. Which will in turn make it possible for Todd and Craig to create more great stories for all of us to enjoy.
