I've been wanting to do a sort of graphic novel in a sort of Disney's Robin Hood style of one of Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels. Only problems are 1) I'm seriously afraid I'm going to get a message any day now threatening me with a lawsuit for putting them up on the internet 2) I don't think I'm good enough to depict one of my favorite books accurately and well enough to do it justice and that it's almost sacrilege to do so in this manner (I find the Discworld novels almost holy with Terry Pratchett as my God) and 3) (the biggest reason) I'm way, way, way totally completely and utterly far too lazy to have the actual commitment to follow it all the way through.

But after having tossed and turned in bed all night not getting any sleep because the urgent voices in my head were becoming too loud, I relented and figured I'd do it anyway.

Originally I wanted to do Guards! Guards! but then I read Going Postal again and I thought it was too good to put aside. Then I thought it was actually so good, that I WOULD put it aside, and that I'd do The Truth instead. But then I was inevitably drawn back to Going Postal like a moth to a flame.

This is page 1, but there's actually a couple prologues in the book and I plan on adding them in at some point, but those clacks towers are a bitch to draw.

And buy Going Postal, terrific book. It's in a series, but this book stands on its own, no previous knowledge of the books needed.

I wanted to comment on page one even though you're up to page seven already. I wanted to let you know that I am loving this and I think you're doing a great job. I haven't read the book and I know it's hard to fit everything into a comic, but I'm loving the artwork and the poses.

One word will protect you from being sued... Just remember this is "Satire." That's why you made the characters animals, right? >;]
Thank you =) I hadn't thought of it being a satire, although I think a preferable word for it would be something more of a "caricature". Calling it satire makes it sound like I'm being sarcastic when I think I'm being more...ironic ._.

a hand fell on my shoulder and a voice said
reassuringly: 'Cheer up, things could get worse.' So I cheered up and, sure enough, things got worse."
Just finished reading through your comic, I have to say that I'm pretty damn interested in that book. I hope you continue the comic, it's a cleverly thought out project!

MARCH OR DIE MAGGOT!
I'm really excited about the possibility of more of these!


Just one question, though. Is there any way you could place links in the comments section to make it a little easier to browse between the pages?
This is really interesting :)
Gaaaaaah. Love Going Postal. LOVE. And under ANY other circumstances I would be overjoyed to see anyone else drawing stuff from it... but a furry comic? Really? REALLY? I mean, WHY?

Zelink FOREVER. Bitch I will cut you.
Going Postal is one of my favorites. I've started re-reading it recently, and found this comic quite by accident. Interesting take, to say the least.
