Family Unit - by Elobo

The Muttshroom give the impression of a solid family structure. But it begs the question if these Muttshroom are individuals or just a familiar conceit of one organism? No mycelia stretch between the dogs so it would appear that this is a family and pet enjoying the independence of the wild. They have not fallen victim to the overwhelming sedentary drive of their fungus halves. They will revel in each other, the hunt, and the fresh air... not just the soil.

Elobo	Sunshine In the Forest Page 6	SunshineForest - #07 There are a few wordy pages in this books, ie: betwixt. I firmly believe that the audience shouldn't be patronized. Kids should ask questions about stories regardless, so some vocabulary thrown into the mix can't hurt.	7/16/09
Elobo	Sunshine In the Forest Page 7	SunshineForest - #08 Here's that focal mechanism again. The sun is important to this story, it often sets an unstated mood. But look in the background, a kid will make the connection between it being there now, and somewhere else on a later page. It marks that arrow lizard as something Bushie will interact with.	7/16/09
Elobo	Sunshine In the Forest Page 8	SunshineForest - #09 I've waited until this page to talk about environment malleability. The art style allows me to bend the world to the story's emotional whim. It is subtle, but it gives me that freedom.	7/16/09
