Curmudgeonly critters weigh in

January 28, 2005 by David Welsh

I can’t quite articulate yet how much I loved We3, so maybe you should go read the excellent and thoughtful reviews posted at Jog – The Blog and The Brill Building. A certain constituency in my household is prepared to talk about the mini-series, though, and the companion animals have written a group letter to Grant Morrison and Frank Quietly:

Dear Sirs:

While we don’t read comics ourselves, we enjoy sitting on or near David while he does. Sure, sometimes they make him irritable, but on balance, it’s a pretty restful activity. Yesterday, he read the third issue of your comic, We3, and we’ve noticed some changes in his behavior.

Restrictions on our activity have become a dim memory. Treats are falling like rain. He even made bacon for the dogs and opened a packet of tuna for the cats. The good kind of tuna. He compulsively fluffs our beds, and he gets misty when the cats run off with a necktie. Our status in the household, never a cause for complaint, has risen to unprecedented levels. Sure, it’s little creepy when he looks meaningfully into our eyes and says, “You know I’d kill to keep you safe and happy, don’t you?” But the sentiment is much appreciated.

In conclusion, please write a sequel at your earliest convenience. We’re living like union bosses here.

Sincerely,

The Curmudgeonly Critters.
