Happy Mother's Day

Does our Mom love us or what when it comes to accommodating her daughters' whims with showing off her Mother's Day gift.

Thanks for being such a great sport (and LaKeit too).

We love you Mom!

Mouse Guard Winter 1152 by David Petersen

Winter 1152 starts off where Fall 1152 ended. The fall confrontation with the enemy left the Mouse Territories unprepared for winter with no food or medicine. While securing supplies and allies, the group of best guard mice becomes separated. Kenzie, Saxon and Sadie fall down a tunnel into an abandon weasel empire, Darkheather, while Lieam and Celanawe are left behind to find their way back to Lockenhaven on their own. While the one group of guards tries to find their way out of the...

Fables Volume 12: The Dark Ages by Bill Willingham

With the Adversary defeated the Fables can now freely choose where and how they want to live their new peaceful lives. Yeah right, think again. The war had left the homelands in ruins and through the pillaging a new evil force has been released. This new villain makes the Adversary look like a fuzzy bunny. Supernatural and paranormal powers always trump those of magical wooden soldiers. It looks like it could get very grim for the Fables and us mundanes.

I found this one on the aftermath of...

Weekly Kitty Fix - 365 Days of Smiles...and counting

A year ago today Gretel chose us for her forever home. Ever since she came into our home not a day has gone by where we did not smile. An enormous thank you to the Buddy Center Dumb Friends League for 365 days of smiles...and counting.

Happy Earth Day

In memory of our faithful companion who always wanted "meow-t" to enjoy mother nature.

Fables Volume 11: War and Pieces by Bill Willingham

In this volume we finally come to the battle between the Fables and the Adversary who took over their Homelands. There is no such thing as a fairy-tale war, and this is no exception. I enjoyed the story of Cinderella trying to rescue Pinocchio. I tell you she is one tough cookie. I think she and my favorite Wizard, Harry Dresden, could do some serious damage together.

The war is over, but another chapter is just beginning.

P.S. Loved the sketchbook and illustration gallery at the end, 5-star e...
