And thus ends the legend of Marrok! Special filler next week to celebrate three MILLION hits, and then on to Book Two... and college!

....

Well, -that- was unexpected.

For a story that's supposed to have a moral of "don't show anyone you're a werewolf", it ended surprisingly well for Sir Marrok...

Well, Marrok himself kept the secret- it was his wife who outed him.

She was punished, and he got the happily-ever-after ending.

But mostly, the story is about more than one simple moral. For one thing, it shows that under certain circumstances it is possible for humans and werewolves to interact as friends and equals rather then enemies or master-servant.

I just read it from work - yes, on Saturday. Nice. Now, back to the main story! w00t and so forth.

By the way, living in California sucks right now. Been without power since early morning Friday and won't be getting it back until late Sunday.

Well I'm going to go ahead and say I really enjoyed this little story. The whole thing was a lot of fun to follow, actually and I find that to be a startlingly rare quality in some comics.

I've now taken to making things like 'Growl, Growl. Snarl, Snarl.' part of my vocabulary.

Great story, I expecially liked the first frame, that look would make anyone re-think there stragity (RUN AWAY!!!)

I'm looking forward to the next story in the set, both Peter and Sarah in collage should be a hoot.

Keep up the great work guys, I've been telling all my friend (last count two or three) about this site.

Maybe it's just me-but Sarah's expression in the last panel is somewhat less than reassuring.

I can see why Peter told this particular story to her though: It's one where both Were's and Humans get along amicably. She is probably still ticked off at the realisation that there comes a point in life when you "can't go back home", and she's reached it.
Adulthood bites; no way around that.

I wonder if this is a hint at what might exist in college: a sort of underground association of Were's and Humans; both semi-rebellious to the old-line concept of Werewolves and Smoothskin humans are like oil and water-not mixable...or not too mixable, that is. After all, the Genericville Pack has a few Smoothskin human associates (the thrift-shop lady coming to mind most easily).
Still, there is fear and resistance on both sides of the equation, with the Were's probably being the most fearful. The Human race could "inhale" them and not even sneeze-nevermind that these Werewolves are humans with one special ability. Period. They fear for their uniqueness in the face of a parent species that could dilute them into insignifigance in three generations, tops. So they hide.
(Sigh) that option won't last forever. Eventually they'll be found out; and once the 'shiny' wears off-ignored.
Maybe that's what they fear most.
(five solid days of miserable rain has me being thoughtful-moreso than I should be, maybe.)

Or is it this:

Two weeks ago, if you asked her if there were such a thing as werewolves, she'd answer: Everybody knows there's no such thing as werewolves!
She was a complicit member in that conspiracy of consensus reality that most humans propagate.

Now she's got a werewolf saying there's no such thing as Dragons.

(Of course, Peter had the same problem a while back on the character forums...)
