Eleanor, you are just too precious. <3
Where can I adopt a Frumious Bandersnatch?. I SOOOOOO want one.
“she can do us a favor but then she should piss off”. Lovely
Three years later: “Yes, uncle Roald, I know that nobody but me has ever succeeded in getting him back out of there. All I’m asking is, how does Rupert manage to visit E…hhh the woods every other week or so on your watch!?”
She gallumphs gracefully.
Didn’t say they had to be *quick* about it! Let’s take the scenic route! ^^
“Help us then shove off” is definitely how you get the scenic route!
Ah, she’s so delightful.
And on the way out they ran into Taylor Swift who later wrote a couple of songs about it all.
She never released them though, “Out of the Woods” and “Wonderland” are purely metaphorical.
All lanky like a ferret. Dawww, I wanna give her a hug.
Elanor’s running gait reminds me of a very excited Ferret chasing something.
*Two days later* XD
Eleanor can work with that.
Jimothy has lost.
As always, your kid-shifter characters are absolutely adorable in motion.
Jabberwock: “Oh, thank goodness, those noisy children are FINALLY leaving!” :D
Love Eleanor’s :3 face in the first panel. Also, I never knew she had hooves!
At last we see her fully. She is beautiful.
And I’m not worried as she ends up playing borogove in the Liverpool Avalon and playing in a band. But the trip is going to be interesting.
Physically, Eleanor has a lot in common with a Sphynxian Treecat (from David Weber’s Honorverse series). Treecats are smaller (but still sapient, although not recognized as such) arboreals with lynx-ish heads, long lanky weasel-ish torsos, and long prehensile tails that are furless along one side. Their claws are wickedly hard and sharp, but retractable. There’s an additional pair of limbs (hand-feet) between the true-hands and the true-feet. Nimitz, the treecat most featured in the stories, is known among his own kind as Laughs Brightly because of his penchant for pranks.
The treecat’s larger, non-sapient cousin is the hexapuma, a vicious ground-dwelling predator that’ll make fast work of the unwary newcomer to its forest.
