While Mice Templar and Autumnlands are amazing books, I wouldn't consider them as funny animal books. They're amazing, but not funny.

I agree, which why I qualified Autmnlands as not quite funny animal but anthropomorphic animal characters. The pic you posted previously is not showing btw DubipR, I think it doesn't allow hotlinking. -M |

Autumnlands is a terrific book. The level of detail in the art is amazing and the amount of thought that Busiek has put into crafting the history and structure of this world is equally amazing. Has anyone ever read any of the TMNT parodies of yore? All I remember is Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters and Adult Thermonuclear Samurai Elephants (by Roger Stern no less if memory serves). We've mentioned Hoppy the Marvel Bunny, but let's not forget Tawky Tawny either.  |

All I remember is Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters and Adult Thermonuclear Samurai Elephants (by Roger Stern no less if memory serves). I read some of the later issues of ARBBH and its spin-off, Clint: the Hamster Triumphant, but don't remember much about them, other than that Sam Kieth and Mike Dringenberg were involved before their work on Sandman made them famous. Adult Thermonuclear Samurai Elephants was originally conceived as a TMNT parody, but missed the boat and I think it went unpublished until 1989, when Marvel released it as a one-shot under the name Power Pachyderms. Stern was indeed the writer, but Tom De Falco and the artist Adam Blaustein created the characters, according to the credits. |

Yeah, I tend to use funny animal as a catch-all fro all anthropomorhic animal features much the way I use funny book as a catch all term for all comics, but there are some who are sticklers that funny animal should refer to a humor strip/feature, which is why I put the caveat in, but I can go either way on it. But really as long as everyone has the gist, and people are finding cool books they might be interested in via this thread, it's all good. -M |

Autumnlands just went to the top of my Emerald City shopping list. Cei-U! I summon the must have! I bought the first issue from Kurt B. at last year's Emerald City. I'll bring it with me when I come up for this year's. |

All I remember is Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters and Adult Thermonuclear Samurai Elephants (by Roger Stern no less if memory serves). I used to collect TMNT homages from that era. I don't know if I've gotten rid of any, so I probably still have a decent collection of them in one of my boxes. Black Belt Hamsters was the best one. They actually tried to put together a real comic, and it was somewhat successful. I actually feel like digging them up and reading them again. There was a lot going on in that series, and I have a lot of issues I haven't read. |
