Bats?
Chameleon Kid on Aug. 23, 2008
At the risk of sounding like a Nature Nerd…Dog bats roost in caves or tombs and seem to rely on echolocation for flight navigation in these places. They are the only fruit bats to use the phenomenon, so important to the insectivorous bats. They feed on fruit juices and flower nectar and play a useful role as pollinators.
Name: Dog Bat, Rousettus aegyptiacus
Range: Africa, east to India and Malaysia
Habitat: forest; caves, tombs, temples
Size: 11-13 cm (4-5 in) wingspan: 30-45 cm (12-18 in) tail: 1.5 cm (half an inch)
Sorry if my NATURE NERD FACT is out of date or inaccurate–my reference book is rather old. ^///^
Cookie Points to those who spot the bowling ball!

Steely Gaze: Well Penny HAS had it pretty rough...I figure she'll catch a break sometime. (It's just this whole expedition is very new for her--I reckon she'll get used to the idea sometime.) ;) The word I used to describe John in #3 is: "cute." Antcomics: Man, I had a hard time with that little sucker! It didn't come out as accurate as I wanted, but I settled for what I could do...I got my facts out of the book called Macmillan Illustrated Animal Encyclopedia--it's a bit old now, but it's he only book I own with animals that don't live in North America. (Well, except for a bird encyclopedia.) Ghostrunner: Thank you! ^___^

Nice job drawing the bat. :) ANd don't apologize for being a nature nerd...although the facts you gave us give us a good clue as to where they might be now!

Poor John, clumsy as ever with technology. :D And poor, poor Penny! When will she get a break? I think the lighting came out pretty cool here. Very groovy stuff. And John's expression in panel 3 is killer.

Alrighty you two! Your bowling ball sightings have been noted, and I will update my tally list over at DA! ^o^ ...Which I think still needs work anyway...(I swear I'm forgetting someone...)
