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 ._.

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!

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?

Get your creative juices flowing and design a movie poster for "Paper Heart" that focuses on the theme "What Does Love Mean to Me?".

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More

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?
