"Hush," said the animals, were their extremely realistic human hands. "There's no need to tell anyone about this, right?" |

"Is it Easter?" Bilby asked. "Bilby," said Rat. "It's always been Easter." |

"Is this it, then?" she asked. "Is this how I go?" "It is," said Bilby. He almost sounded sorry. "I'm not ready yet," she said. "I'm not." Bilby nodded. "But it's time." "But I'm not ready." "But it's time." |

What happened next? Why, in Australia they say that the Bilby's small eyes grew three sizes that day. |

Just imagine ten seconds before that picture was taken, when they had normal eyes. Now imagine the ten seconds in between. |

google THIS posted:News Anchor: There's been a new development in the case of a skinned rabbit corpse that was believed to be the Easter Bunny. The Easter Bunny himself has finally come forward, making his first public appearance since the incident, to show that he is alive and well, and gave a press conference earlier today to quell well rumors of his death. |

We've all had a lot of fun, but I'd like to dig into the insane world of Kaye Kessing. Kaye is crazy, but an endearing sort of crazy. She's an environmental activist in Australia whose pet issue is invasive species. She really, really does not like feral cats. Her solution to Australia's feral cat problem? Cook and eat them.quote:"To make a point about the problem that feral cats are causing right across Australia I cooked a 'catterole' in [a] bush foods competition," she said.  She really, really doesn't like cats. This picture comes from a poster, for sale on her site, titled "That Feral Cat." She's not wrong, invasive species have done massive damage worldwide, and cats (feral and domestic) are some of the worst. But she is... strident.  Since people, in general, are both stupid and emotional, here are the three Amazon reviews of Easter Bilby's Secret (the second of the Easter Bilby books).  Related, she has a poster titled "The Great Battle," which also depicts the war between cats and native species in Australia.

The Easter Bilby series has two books. The first is titled simply "Easter Bilby."quote:Easter Bunny is old and tired but who could do his job properly? His grandson Flash Rabbit only wants to be famous. Should Easter Bunny pass his job on to an introduced rabbit or to a native Australian? If you read the last post, you may be saying "I don't think Kaye Kessing can do gentle hints." You are correct.    If these were human beings this would be intensely racist. Again, however, they are not, and also she is completely right. Rabbits have been very harmful to Australia. Then there is EASTER BiLBY'S SECRET, which explains the value of native Australian species by depicting them as horrifying aliens that imitate natural life but are revealed by, uh... being horrifying aliens. quote:Easter Bilby has been given the job of delivering Easter eggs all around Australia. But Cat and Fox roam the country always on the hunt for tasty native creatures. How will Easter Bilby and his friends get the job done safely and on time? A clever plan is needed but Cat and Fox must not find out.

But wait, what's this? quote:in the BILBY'S RING tales BILBY'S RING... a Tolkienesque epic fantasy trilogy set in Australia? Almost. There are 10 tales, divided into three books.  quote:Bilby the Pink-eared Bandicoot heads off with Chuditch the Spotted Quoll, hoping to find a safe place to live. Firekeepers no longer walk the great western deserts, burning the country in patches to bring new growth. Feral animals are everywhere, hunting creatures like Bilby and Chuditch or eating too many native plants. Our Australian deserts are no longer safe enough for many of our native species.  quote:Joined by Mala the Rufous Hare Wallaby, Numbat and Sticky the Stick-nest Rat, the five are urged on by others in trouble.  quote:Far on the sunup side of Australia, in the Biggest City by the Endless Sea, Felis Grandiosa the megalomaniac gutter cat has heard of the coming of The Five and swears to stop them. Three points here: 1. Megalomaniac Gutter Cat 2. These are legit some fantastic fantasy titles. "Into the Bowels of the Biggest City" is especially good. 3. Sadly, no text samples are available, so it will remain unclear whether Bilby opens a box, spins around, or finds a gem. |

Flash Rabbit's backwards cap and giant sneakers are killing me. I still have no idea who Ali Garnett is, since I think Kaye writes and illustrates everything herself. |

Boy, what a day! Visited four schools and gave a lecture on conservation at the local library. Time to sit back and relax with my favorite show! *picks up DVD set of the entire run of Alf* |

[quote="“Manifisto”" post="“477128929”"] honestly these are rather boschian “come into my garden of earthly delights,” said EASTER BiLBY. “that is where my secret lies.” [/quote] Yeah, her posters are very Renaissance-era book of revelations painting sort of style. It's pretty fascinating. |
