This rehearsal is going to need more than a “take 5.”

The musical
The Wind in the Willows is indeed a real show, and the Chrisville
Theater Society’s costumes are based on those of the 2017 London
Palladium production. You can rent the musical here.
(I am not sponsored by the musical in any way, I just thought promoting
it was the least I could do after referencing so much of this
production.)

They don’t call plushies “soft” toys for no reason…

For those who need reminding, Lucky Buck (as well as Sergeant Block) is made of plastic. Dirk is made of wood. The other toys, like Moth, Velvel Fox, and especially Softboy, are soft, cuddly plush toys.

Well, it took a few posts, but I finally remembered to add musical notes to the sung parts of the comic. I still recommend you check out the song “The Wild Wooders” yourself, though, if only to know what this singing sounds like.

Uh-oh. It looks like things are getting off-book….

It has just now occurred to me that, to those who aren’t familiar with this musical, some people may not know that these characters are singing some of their lines. Hopefully, this can be figured out through context clues. However, I recommend listening to the song “The Wild Wooders” in order for these comics to make the most sense.

It looks like another member of Chrisville learned how to harness the power of his imagination.

… Hooray?

The dress rehearsal of “The Wild Wooders” continues, and it’s starting out well so far. Don’t let Softboy’s acting fool you: he really does love this number. And it’s hard to be scared when you’re confident that the people threatening you are just acting… right?

You can find part one of the dress rehearsal here.

Just a reminder to everyone: Moth’s mouth isn’t moving because it doesn’t have to. Moth communicates through vis moth-shaped pendant, which is why vis dialogue comes out all fuzzy and cool.

chiropteracupola:

so here I am again with an absolute shower-thought of a crossover.

still not entirely sure how and why I got suddenly wildly excited about the idea of muppets treasure island softboy pillowman, but here we are nonetheless.  this sure was a thing that happened.

Woah, this is so cool! It’s definitely a very good thing that happened. :3

Thanks so much for yet another awesome drawing. It’s always a joy to see how you draw the different toys of Chrisville.

so the latest comic from @softboy-pillowman has had me Full of Worry, but also made me want to draw dirk in his chief weasel costume.  and so I did.  that’s fashion right there!

Thank you so much for this wonderful art! Like always, it’s beautifully detailed, and I’m so touched that you made it. And you’re totally right. Dirk may not be one for fashion, but he certainly let himself get all dressed up for this role.

(and you might’ve made me realize that I forgot to give him the Chief Weasel’s fingerless gloves. At least he’s got them in your art!)

Welcome back, everybody. We’re back from our two month hiatus, and a new year means new adventures for the residents of Chrisville!

The Chrisville Theater Society has just started dress rehearsals for their production of the musical The Wind in the Willows, and it looks like Dirk is actually excited to participate for once. … but will that be a good thing?

felt like trying my hand at a certain grumpy sword and friendly moth!  dirk and moth are the wonderful creations of the inestimable @softboy-pillowman!  by gosh, the entire comic is a ray of sunshine!

Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry I didn’t see this sooner! This is amazing! 😀 The swirl coloring on Moth’s hands, the monster paws and claws that are Moth’s feet, the wooden segment’s of Dirk’s fingers… this makes me really happy.

Thank you so much for the fanart, and I’m so glad you like the comic!
