It’s nice to see Agent Two-Zero getting work after ‘Stingray’ ended. His Vulcan Salute needs work, though.

“I’ve had it up to here with your ‘Werewolf? There wolf!” jokes!”
Also, anyone else misread this as edited by Kenneth Bummer?

Is the cat-faced feller in the background wearing one of those novelty foam giant hands?
September 13th, 2012 at 5:43 pm
Does that foam hand even have a thumb?

Is just my imagination, or does it look like there’s a book, within a book, within a book?

If they did an album would it consist of new singings?

Catman’s futile giant hand gesture is breaking out of the frame… but I can’t figure out why there IS a frame. It does indeed look like a book within a book etc.
And old dogface has eyes that remind me of Obie, the overfed sausage dog:

Please say the murderous wolfman fellow is also a mad scientist. He has got that expression down

The full moon came into view — and before the shocked stares of the other Muppets, Gonzo turned into… a werewolf!

Tell me to fetch that stick again, and I’ll cut you.

‘Corgi Books’,eh? We know who’s the publisher’s pet (so to speak)!

@Jaouad: I can’t see a clear thumb, either. I see a feature that could be the heel of a hand, but the positioning of the digit next to it is all wrong. And yet, there are five fingers on the hand.
But then, if the internet has taught us anything, it’s that cats would totally take over the world if they only had opposable thumbs. So maybe a correctly-drawn appendage was too terrible for the artist to contemplate.

Two books along… ‘A Plague Of All Cowards’. Not ON all cowards, but a plague that either turns everyone into one or infests the land with them like rats in Hamelin. Do they mean an epidemic of cowardice or simply that everyone suddenly wears silk dressing-gowns, rolls their Rs and calls everyone else ‘dear boy’?

We SO need an ‘animals with weapons’ tag!

The wolf’s been watching Lion King too much maybe? http://www.mylionking.com/fan/art/Artists/Disney/Portraits/Ed.jpg

The picture in the background is actually a travel poster for wonderful Bozeman Montana. Summer or Winter there is always something to do in Bozeman. In the foreground is the sad outcome of giving professional sled dogs performance enhancing drugs.
@ Tat Wood It’s been a year now and no one has commented on your witty observations, so I’ll bite. Maybe it’s a negative look at a family reünion. The English Cowards, Couhirdes, Couhyrds, Couhyrdes, Cohyrdes, Couherds, Cowherds, Couhirds, and of course the Couherdes, will all be invited. But certainly not the French Cuards or Couards.

The wolf has better thumbs than the catman. Even though he only has nine digits, three of them seem to be thumbs.
Then again, his right arm seems to be completely detached from his body and sort of just disintegrates below the “wrist,” so it’s really just, wtf?

Who likes this dog’s art?
Who? Who? Who who?

One less finger in the left paw, eh Wolfy?
That’s what happens when your knife doesn’t have a handle.

Is this one of those banned Tango ads? The floppy big hand? That wolf just did not want to get Tango’d.

Four years plus after:
“A PLAGUE OF ALL COWARDS, [William Barton’s] second novel, is a multi-leveled story peopled with exotic and very real characters, treacherous and complex intrigues, a hunt for a desperate assassin…and The Oracle, a sentient computer capable of manipulating certain levels of reality…”.
So now you know.
