23 & 24

And that's all, folks! I hope you enjoyed this ride.

Maura is certainly enjoying her new ride, anyway, even if it came at an unimaginably steep price… But I'll let the story speak for itself.

As I said at the start, there have been lots and lots of different interpretations of this story, all of them interesting. While going far beyond the scope of my own thoughts during the process of its creation, all of them have so far made perfect sense, too, no matter whether they went in a religious, psychological, philosophical, meta-literary, postmodern or just a silly direction. That so many people have been able to see so many things in my scribblings - and so many positive things at that - still feels flattering and humbling at the same time. As I'm writing this while pre-uploading the whole thing I of course have no idea how you'll have reacted by this point, but I'm curious as all get out. Criticism is of course welcome too, just saying.

If you liked this little picture story, I'm sorry to say that a sequel is highly unlikely 😉, but I've still got plenty of ideas for others, many of them considerably less melancholic in tone, and all I need is some time to draw them already.
Meanwhile, there is Master the Tiger, which will always stay my pet project (literally so), and resuming which is my top priority right now, comic-wise. At the time of writing, I've already done some new pencil work, so I can now honestly say there is a message of hope at the end of Maura the Mole.

Print versions of Maura the Mole are still available.

If you happen to live in Germany, the easiest, fastest and cheapest way is to order it at your local bookstore:

Everywhere else used to be more difficult for a long time, for various reasons, but I found out how to ship books internationally at a reasonable price and put up a batch for worldwide sale on eBay:

(This has the additional perk that I'll sign your copy if you add a note to your purchase, asking me to.)
