    I returned to the Rock seven weeks ago and have been updating my understanding of the current provincial political scene. It’s seem’s to me that today’s political landscape appears pretty bland compared to the colourful situations of times past and that you therefore have a formidable task ahead of you, keeping things interesting. I don’t doubt you are up to the challange but oh: for the days of Val Manus, Hughie Shea and Rod “the telephone man”.

    It’s kinda’ more Donald Duck than Animal Farm, Keith. (Donald preceded Animal Farm by almost 10 years.) I’m a big funny animals fan.

    I really recommend “the Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck” for any of you out there who love the funny animal genre. What is it about ducks that make for great comics. Oh and for those who like a dark funny animal, the Marvel comic series “Howard the Duck” was a classic of the genre. But not the film unfortunately.

    Thanks, Joan!And you’re right about the royalty thing. Animal Hall is a political fantasy with a strange mixture of democracy, royalty and dictatorship. But it also will be based on real political events from week to week. There’s a second page coming up tomorrow by the way!

    Next week…the Appointing of a Rabbit.

    I’d like to welcome the first Animal Hall. Its pictures and introductory story are exciting, perhaps because the stars are all women with strong characters as in life. I love the rabble in the galleries. I recoiled at the terms Queen, King and royal which are the antithesis of democracy – or is Wallace trying to tell me something? J
