  • the panel of sleeping chickens!!! i want them on a sticker.
  • Fox's grandma outfit from page 16. I don't know what those hooded, frayed granny capes are called, but every character should have one now.
  • The how-to-make-comics section in the back of the book. I went to a comics making camp as a kid, and those pages reminded me of that. Seeing the craft Chloe and Orion put into The Fox makes me want to give comics-making another shot.
  • The typography~. I love a good word design. And most of the comic looks Hand. Lettered. omg! That takes patience AND skill. And I didn't struggle to read any of it??? Ovaettr is a man of many talents.
  • The star 'fro NPC.

  • Fox's facial expressions in the top panel of page 4 (watching the girls).

  • Fox and Love Interest looking at each other on page 7.
  • Love Interest's expression in the third panel of page 8.
