Whole Otter Love

Hooray! The Hidden Talent of Albert Otter has now sold out of its limited first edition! This is good news, but there's more to come as a couple of other translations are now completed and a launch of the second print run is imminent.

To mark the occasion, a couple of out-takes (ott-takes?):












Albert as a line-art profile for the front endpapers.

Copies are still available for pre-order through Public Address Books

    ??? Um yeah, not sure what happened there? (no even close on the keyboard...

    D'oh!

    Soo, anyway - the book doesn't close with "The Otter" running up a beach being chase by weather balloons then....

  4. I reckon that bottom pic is from overhead. Albert is "rescuing Timmy from the well," or at least dragging him/her to safety after falling through the ice.

    Such is my sharp-eyed analysis of quite an enigmatic image.

  5. Naughty Dave - forever seeing patterns that aren't there!

    At least no-one thinks it's someone flinging a mustelid during a full moon :/
