I've had this feeling...

Warning! The following journal may just be a rant!
Well, there's a story i've been feeling to write this last week, about a world dominated by packs of canines, living amongst each other, vying for control. It centers around a child of a female breeding wolf, and a coyote, a coywolf, as it were (legit term, I tell you), who is treated as the child of the breeding male (or the alpha). When the coywolf reaches maturity, his brother, a child of the breeding pair usurps the title of breeding male, and casts out all the coywolves. (i should mention at this point, that all characters are anthropomorphic, until they are disbarred from a pack, when they become feral.) the main character wanders off, encountering a wandering tribe of exiles, and joins them. Meanwhile, his brother has turned the pack into a harem with him at its head. By the end of the story, the main character returns with his ragtag group of exiles, and his litter siblings and returns his pack to what it once was and more, but I feel like I'd want to do it as a comic rather than a novel, but I'm not a good enough artist, nor do I have the resources to be successful even if I was...

That sounds like a pretty interesting premise! I'm particularly interested in the dynamic of how being exiled from civilization reverts them to four-legged animals. I bet that would be a pretty jarring (and possibly humiliating) experience to have to overcome.

OP
I thought so too. There are a few logistic details that are dangling around in my head that I didn't write down here, but that's a different matter. I would easily write this as a novel, that is rather easy (for what it is), but I don't think it would have the same gravity as it would were it a comic/graphic novel.
