Who's paying for all of this hooch remains a bit of a mystery.	He took his pint and moved to a large, empty table. After a few minutes, he observed Sandra as she walked into the Kettle ...
Pete's face fell at the mention of the announcement. "Me? I ain't 'er dad," he protested. "Do I look like a Bunny?"	It was a clear night, so Ignatius suggested they retreat to the balcony on the second floor. It faced north, overlooking the canal just beyond the expansive yard.	" . . . siere," Clare completed the thought.
He leant just slightly forward, elbows on the table, with his head propped on his hands, as he lazily scanned the plans.	Just as Angus reached the entrance to the kitchen, he stopped, turned around and shouted, "Kenny, whadja for asides some brew!"	"That's what makes it a marquee and not just an awning," Steve said,
"Absolutely," Johnny answered, pulling the arm on the tap to fill the glass. "News about our little runaways?"	Pete slammed his hand on the bar in front of Jess, genuinely startling her.	Sandra suddenly put her hand on Slide's shoulder. "Let's call him," she urged.
"I never said I worked for him," Jess protested.	There are an awful lot of humans about. Why aren't there any Frith?	He then tore a slit in each beer mat, halfway through, and stuck them together so that they stood at right angles with each other, one horizontal and the other vertical, forming something that was roughly spherical in appearance.
Two hours later, Ignatius was snoring slightly on the canal bank with an empty pint glass in his hand.	After caulking the fixtures, Desiree was asked to lay some tile in the ladies room.	Deep backstage, in a dark corner, yet still light enough to see if one was patient enough to allow one's eyes to adjust, Angus sat at a small table, his hand supporting his chin. He stared at a little wooden box, silently contemplating his future or lack thereof.
She strutted into the lobby wearing thigh-high boots, a miniskirt, a halter top, and a little red cape with a hood.	It's got loads of benches. Must be some sort of meeting hall or town theatre," Grace mentioned.	"Wouldn't you now?" Gina appraised the state of her vessel, found it to be satisfactory, placed it back on the shelf and grabbed another.
"Excuse me," Ignatius said angrily, "I certainly hope you're not fighting."	Breaking from character herself, she pointed to the trodden horn that was still on the floor.	"Excuse me," Ignatius said politely yet sternly, "are you insinuating that I am wearing a mask?"
"Chris! That was very rude! You apologise this instant!" Dawn scolded.	"All right," Grace agreed, almost laughing. "I've done things more daft than giving a photograph to a blind man."	In most serious accidents, the amount of time from when one realises that one is about to be in an accident and when the accident actually occurs, is usually quite short, thus there is little time to react.
Linda entered the basement of the Rialto from the cabinet and crossed the floor. Climbing the stairs, she approached a window that was within easy reach.
Sketches
Thaddeus WhinnsBrocc, an Angry Badger. Mechanical pencil.	Jess absentmindedly scratching her right boob whilst having a drink. Mechanical pencil and colored using PSP with an optical mouse.	Grace explaining to Simon about a mysterious crank. Scanned from an inked pencil rough.
Rachael examining her tail. Looks just fine to me... Mechanical pencil.	Rachael and Clare together. They're *supposed* to be identical twins... hmm... I've always wondered if a Rabbit would do rabbit-ears on their friends/family when posing. I still don't know, because, Rachael and Clare are not Rabbits - they're Hares. BTW, Rachael is on the left. Mechanical Pencil.	I had a really tough time visualizing Linda's head structure. I even went so far as to make a life-size clay model of her face and sketch from that - this is the result. Still having trouble, as you can see. Mechanical pencil
The inimitable Linda! Dragging her romantic and reluctant prospect Steve to parts unknown (to him at least). Mechanical pencil	Jess tormenting Iggy once again. I like the sentiment of this picture, but I think I made Jess' legs way too long. I fixed that in the color version, however. Mechanical pencil	Jess gaining Ig's attention in the only way she knows how - by tormenting him. Except for the painful aspect on his ears, he honestly doesn't mind. Mechanical pencil
Geoff ThistleBoar rendering a non-verbal opinion on some topic or other. Despite its simplicity, this sketch is one of my faves. Mechanical pencil.	Clare MarchHare - one of my better drawings, especially for an earlier work. Quite pleased with how it came out. Mechanical pencil.	Paulus giving Annette a, erm... hand with the beer. Sadly, I had to blue-line Annette in cold blood. Maybe in one of the sequels, though... Mechanical pencil
