Late to the party, but wanted to share that I thought that looks awesome! Better than Ming Doyle's Q&W arc, for sure.

You guys should pitch your stuff to VEI - that would have been great in the XO anniversary issue :D
Thanks!

Dino has said that he would like to use some of our work someday, just a matter or figuring out where to fit it in. Maybe, X-O 50? 100? lol who knows! Getting published would be cool of course but we just love giving life to some of these crazy ideas we both have :)
XO Deluxe vol. 2?

Could we see a confrontation with the HARD Cats?

Right now we are thinking of continuing it in a one-page-at-a-time format - kind of like the Q and W teaser pages. We have the next few pages written and ready for her to draw, but... when all humanities standard retaliations fail they may be willing to go with the unorthodox solutions... call in the HARD Cats! Of course, we would want the creator to help write those pages but it would be fun to fit in :) Right now I just have the ending and the general rest of it worked out.

Just returned home to find these at my front door courtesy of Bruce Hartshorn and VEI! Definitely was not expecting that, but very very cool surprise - We almost have all the Golds now :)

Thanks!
