(Hopefully I'll be able to buy a few more graphic novels eventually) Anyone else read this? I think it's incredibly charming, in spite of all the blood. And several times I laughed out loud at it. Great stuff.

Hehe. I would point out that you're not supposed to emulate the evil guy, but I ended up guilty of that.

It was nowhere near an accident for me to get it - I had to practically drag the thing away from Amazon.

Gear was Doug's first graphic novel and it's about a world where cats, dogs and insects are fighting wars against each other. There are giant fighting robots and the factions fight each other for control of the robots, so that they have more power. The main guys are four cats called Gordon, Waffle, Mr Black, and Simon, who were named after Doug's real-life pet cats. There's also a fabled power so great it would give whoever used it total dominance, called the Forbidden Mechanism, but people are of different opinions about where it is or whether it even exists. The Forbidden Mechanism turns out to be a robot called Gear, who looks a lot like a robotic Neverhoodian and he's dumbtarded, but has holy powers and stuff. The characters from Gear were adapted later into the Nickelodeon cartoon, Catscratch.

Really. I mean, whatever happened to Simon(yes, he died, but you see his spirit or whatever a lot)?

I just got an awful feeling that the relationship between the Neverhood game and movie will be the same as the relationship between Gear and Catscratch.
