Howdy, and thanks for dropping by!
If it's been a while, you may want to check the Site History/Update page. Believe it or not, Web Counter says you're visitor number Welcome to the anthromoronic, anthrosophomoric, anthropomorphic world of Skippy and Liska! He's a jittery cottontail rabbit. She's a sociopathic red fox vixen. Together, they get into all kinds of trouble, both in the Mynarski Forest and the nearby, fictional central Alberta town of Holland Valley. Every Monday, share the weekly (weakly?) adventures of a cunning little vixen and the rabbit who tolerates her! |

After much personal debate, I've reluctantly decided to suspend the current storyline with a bit of a cliff-hanger and place Mynarski Forest on a six month hiatus, with new comics tentatively scheduled to resume next spring. You can read more about this decision by clicking here. In the meantime, as of September 14th, I will be re-running select "classic" Mynarski Forest strips accompanied by an artist's commentary, along with previously un-released sketches, artwork, personal photos, and random miscallaneous stuff including this year's Jack-o-Liska and Christmas card. Just think of it as like the bonus content you get on a DVD! Oh, and if you haven't already done so, feel free to read about my recent adventures during an RCMP training exercise! |

Although I mostly worked in my store's auto department, during the Christmas rush I would sometimes be pushed into service stocking the toy displays. I often found it amusing how ridiculous and bizarre some of the toys we carried were...
... So one of the little games I invented to make the evenings go faster was to think up some of the most warped ideas for kid's toys I could possibly imagine in graphic, vivid detail. Desperate for jokes to work into Mynarski Forest, some of my more memorable ideas found their way into the strip. This particular toy was inspired by one of those investigative reports shows, which ran a feature on equine urea farming - basically, the harvesting of horse urine to obtain hormones for pharmaceutical purposes. At one point during the documentary, it occurred to me that this was something you definitely DON'T see in Old MacDonald's Farm Playset, and from there it was only short leap of the imagination before Liska had a new toy for her and Rozzy to play with. I love her demented enthusiasm in this one, Skippy's horrified reaction, the fact that there are hoses that need to be attached, and the little blurb on the box, "It really works!" It paints a terrible mental picture in your head that you really don't want floating around in there... :) Please note: For the next couple of weeks, my internet access may be unreliable. If I'm forced to delay or skip an update, don't panic, I'm still alive and I'll definitely be back online by the second week of September. |
