The Way We Live - by Elobo

The first killing bite sends fibrous feelers through the Slitherhen in a capillary assault. Fungus starts to grow from the small creature as the Muttshroom starts to digest it before it even ingests it. It is not cruelty, it is merely natural efficiency. But its meal may soon be forfeit, as a hungry Dog Fish stalks in the distance. The Muttshroom starts to catch, but his, and everyone's satisfaction tonight is always in motion. Always tumbling, never certain.

Elobo	Symbiosis	The cactus wolf is a strange hybrid, built to stalk and guard unfettered and unfatigued in the burning sun of the desert. The waxy cacti keep it hydrated and cool, the canine components keep it well fed. Truly a fearsome beast, it stalks its quarry through the desert - tormenting them until they drop. A memento mori of the bare mortality evident in the desert wastes.	6/2/09
Elobo	SurfBound: Wish You whir Here!	Hey Deluxe! Or as the kids down here would say, "Dude!" I hope this postcard finds you well! We really miss you down here, but I hear you've been promoted to the Stonehenge position! Congrats, that's "mondo gnarly!" The company vacation is going "way past tubular man!" The sea is so lovely and clean! Juana's here too! She has finally been taken off the Mountain assignment, so we're thinking seriously about out future now! Can't wait to talk to you, "bro," your good pal forever, -Ghost Of.	7/18/09

Elobo	Sunshine In the Forest Page 8	SunshineForest - #09 I've waited until this page to talk about environment malleability. The art style allows me to bend the world to the story's emotional whim. It is subtle, but it gives me that freedom.	7/16/09
Elobo	Sunshine In the Forest Page 7	SunshineForest - #08 Here's that focal mechanism again. The sun is important to this story, it often sets an unstated mood. But look in the background, a kid will make the connection between it being there now, and somewhere else on a later page. It marks that arrow lizard as something Bushie will interact with.	7/16/09
