I do admire the artist for their ability to render the characters halfway discernible though. I wouldn't ever be able to tell a bunch of squirrels apart in reality. But even with different species, it's just too much. (Cheek and by extension Meat are squirrels, for example; the first book mentions that Cheek lost his tail in some battle in the character overview at the end, so he gets his woodchuck-like look. Yet I haven't been able to find a picture of Meat where his tail - which he still should have - is visible. Using the main visual clue for a character "Cheek being overly big and tail-less" for a different character is not the best strategy...)
"What does the fox eat" is a valid question too. The cats alone would need a steady supply of mice but it doesn't look as if the mice have enough offspring at all.
(I almost gave up on Animosity when they had intelligent bee and krill(!), but then they stopped publishing anyway...)
Squarriors really has beautiful drawings, but they just keep adding characters, which ultimately waters down the reader's interest in any of them.
A cast of thousands is one of the major problems with the Dreamkeepers comic. Not only is it nearly impossible to keep track of everyone and their particular backstories, there's so many characters that the story keeps jumping between them all, which pretty much guarantees the average reader is just going to give up trying to figure out what's going on. But like Squarriors, it does have really, really nice art.
