The Part with the Shadow Puppets and Some Talk of Fluffy Pancakes
Rupert is back to his old antics again, making a return to Crow Toes Quarterly as a Superhero with an amazing team of super bears.

Guest Narrator
January 2008 / Crow Toes Quarterly #5
Despite too many responsibilities at M.S.T. Company already, the President and Head Typist still found the time in his day and the space in his heart to do the Narrator of Crow Toes Quarterly a huge, enormous, stupendously giant favor: write the forward for the Winter Issue while he and his staff went on a road trip across the country.

Rupert Greenwood
January 2007 / Crow Toes Quarterly #1
Rupert Greenwood celebrates Christmas every day of the year, and he thinks you should, too. This whimsical tale, ornamented by Kristian Adam and narrated by a tiny, black mouse, follows Rupert and his dog, Komit, through ten chapters of a peculiar February the Third Christmas, in which Rupert encounters a Snox that’s not as stuffy as he appears and a huge cast of troublesome characters.
