Vattu/Rice Boy/Order of Tales






I think  it would be good to highlight Evan Dahm's Vattu/Order of Tales.  I like the writer's imagination and art style.  Not too flashy, and I enjoy that.  It strikes me as similar to Jim Henson productions. Anthropomorphisim as applied to animals, and some sort of vague, not quite real animals.  Good stuff.

I also like his sensibilities.  In order of tales, the idea of the power of story, and then with Vattu tribal vs civilization.  Even in a simplistic construction, I think these are good stories to tell.  Perhaps I should send an email to the author.

Also, I should probably read rice boy, so that I have a complete understanding.

There's a TV tropes page for Vattu.  Pretty delightful.
