Thorsby's love for comedy of errors makes me think his stories would work really well as stage plays.

Zoozo's going to win. He has the best slogan, a winning smile, fashion sense, a cute dog logo, and he doesn't get tripped up in the details.

He definitely has my vote.

The animal logos are all pretty drat cute, though. Especially the owl.

This VP's about to get the worst death yet. Buried alive or fed into a woodchipper or something.

He should blow them up and sell them, like a less one-note Keith Harring.

There are a LOT of snake variants.

I was wondering how they'll get out of this, guess they'll feed the bodyparts to the slions.

I wonder if Lyndon-mugger wants Audrey because he thinks she'd be an upgrade, or because Lyndon's desire to protect Audrey is influencing the mugger.

I've been powering my way through the Accidental Space Spy over the past week. It lacks the characterization and character interplay of Hitmen and Trixie Slaughteraxe, but it's delightful to read Thorsby's endless musings on evolutionary quirks, plus he puts his characters in such dire situations, you get honestly tense about how they'll get out of them.

The good doctor is awfully up for it, I smell a rat. Or maybe Audrey's about to become very jealous.

Speaking of Audrey, her barmaid outfit cracks me up every time it shows up.

Brain Chip might be my favorite. Even though it takes a while to care about Ulf's dumb rear end and it leans heavily on Thorsby's "religion = evil" trope, he gets real creative with the format.

Well, going by the parrot, you keep all your faculties when you transfer into the animal.

To be honest, I'd kinda forgotten the plan was for one of them to do that.

You know... the plan worked, you could let Audrey kill them now.

Wait, it's Thorsby. It'd turn out they were faking unconsciousness and had set a trap. Sorry.

It's a credit to Thorsby's unconventional storytelling that I have no idea where he's taking this. Trixie being missing and Lyndon's death not being pictured would suggest they're still out there, but who knows.
