You might be interested to know that at one point during that afternoon, Herb noticed Wibbolywub had put down his notebook on the grass. As a gentle breeze turned some of the pages he was able to steal a look inside – and who could blame him? We’d all be curious about what someone was writing about us wouldn’t we?
Anyway, Herb didn’t actually understand most of what he glimpsed but he was pleased with himself for recognising the numbers. Some of them were big ones.
The following is what he saw:

Great stuff. I thought of Dr. Milton Mills before I came to the identification! In 2019 I was on a panel with Dr. Mills. We discussed “lab meat” and I think we gave it a pretty good trouncing. Anyway, thanks so much for publishing this brilliant work.

Thanks Lee, wow – I know someone who knows Dr Mills! 😀 Lab meat is crazy but if producing it that way ends human cruelty to animals, that would be a good thing wouldn’t it?

It might seem that way, yet we’re not really convinced. Here is our take on it. See what you think! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFclC-pKGnk

Lee – thank you so much for showing me this. I have the subject in my current story and I had believed the promises that lab-grown meat and fish was going to end animal slaughter, however insane it is to keep producing such “food”. I’m so glad I saw this before I finished this comic, now I’ve got a bit of editing to do before the story concludes 😀

Just wanted to thank you again for pointing me in the right direction with your panel discussion. I’ve finished my story now, which I know you don’t have time to read, but it concludes with Mr Anderson’s rewrite of the Scottish Seafood Industry’s strategic report. I had originally written it to steer them away from fishing and towards the alternative of lab-grown ‘seafood’ but, following your advice, I went a different way. https://violetsvegancomics.com/2021/10/01/a-strategy-for-saving-the-world/ 🙂

I love, LOVE the illustration where Wib is flying back home. Is that a watercolour background? It’s so beautiful.
Also, I love Wib’s nifty striped scarf.
But mostly I love the info you included at the end re: characteristics of ominivores, herbivores and carnivores. Such great stuff! I would have really benefitted from this in science class when I was a kid…

I’m so glad you like it, thank you so much. Yes, it’s all watercolour – you paint onto a wet page to get the colours to mingle 😀 And I’m really happy you like the info at the end, I think you might be the first person to comment on that 😀 I wish I’d known it back in school too 😀

Wow! The illustrations are just a couple of strokes away from a three-dimension look. But the story is already in 4-d. Really noteworthy! Thank you for posting this.

This is a really great story, I loved it! I love all the wonderful illustrations and the cute animal characters. It reminds me of Winnie the Pooh, with aliens. The paintings are really beautiful, I really enjoyed reading this story, and I will read it to my children. I like the message that aliens would look at us and analyse us different from the way we think they would, and that humans are herbivores, from a scientific perspective.
I like it a lot, and I like all the counting games they play together. It has a nice message of peacefulness across all species. A beautiful story.
