Welcome back, everybody! Our most recent hiatus is now over, and I shall finally resolve the aftermath of Dirk’s crimes in the Wild Wooders arc of this series.

Just in case you need a refresher for our ongoing story: The Chrisville Theater Society had started holding dress rehearsals for their production of the musical adaptation of The Wind in the Willows. However, while rehearsing the number “The Wild Wooders,” Dirk suddenly performed some threatening choreography towards Softboy, and did things that made our protagonist feel very unsafe. When confronted about his actions, Dirk refused to apologize, and even began to physically threaten the other inhabitants of Chrisville. Softboy had to step in and put Dirk in a timeout. Finally, he banned Dirk from playtime altogether.

Now, the dress rehearsals have started once again, albeit in a somewhat limited state. Dirk, after all, played the role of Chief Weasel, the main antagonist. But is a villain all he’ll ever be?

Fun fact: The Chrisville Theater Society is rehearsing the “Messing About in a Boat” number in this comic.

Happy Pride Month everybody! To celebrate, I’m gonna share art every
week in which members of Chrisville show off their beautiful and unique
identities. These characters are toys, so all sexualities depicted here
are more akin to romantic attraction.

Sergeant Block: aromantic asexual

Velvel Fox: gay

I hope you all enjoyed seeing this month’s art as much as I enjoyed drawing it!

Softboy says that it’s important to set boundaries, especially if you’re at risk of being hurt.

Fun fact: We have reached the end of what I’ve been calling the “Confrontation” chapter of this theater society story arc. The final chapter shall begin… in a while. I’ll be posting an update on future plans sometime next week.

This week, we dive into the crayon-colored lore of the bedroom, as told by our favorite plush lion.

Fun fact: This comic references the plot of the original Softboy Pillowman book I made for my senior thesis project. There are a few differences, of course, but I even referenced a few of the original illustrations for some of the panels.

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.
