New! Improved! And now with more explainy bits!

The first four chapter of The Mirador weigh in at 44,668 words. This is 2k down from the previous draft, but not to worry! In Chapter 5, I get to introduce a character who gets to try to tie three different plot arcs together. Whee!

My deadline is three weeks away.

Yup, figurines indeed--very hard to find, apparently, according the Walt Kelly sites. I have not dared to investgate because then I might buy one. I have no clue what Porky has there.

It's probably supposed to be his bagpipe (I've been thinking *g*).

At least, it's clearly not a flower, and those are the only two things Porky characteristically got drawn holding.

It's a joy to meet a fellow Pogophile.

It kinda looks like a bag of clothes, as if he's running away. But those were always carpet-bags, no? And this doesn't look like that.
