On Some Bats of the Red Forest.

1029jeffdorchen

The yellow umbrella is the color of a very yellow yellow Labrador retriever, and its shorthaired face looks quite like a miniature version of the canid's visage, though its torso resembles more a plump angora rabbit-like thing, except when swimming, hunting its favorite food, fish, as well as river polyps, with its wings clutched to its sides, at which time it looks like a blonde tailless dogfaced river otter with a spidery external ribcage webbed with yellow leather.

In a Moment of Truth, Jeff Dorchen gets just incredibly specific about the wildlife situation in the Red Forest on the Fat Island of Langostan, in the Middle Seasoning A Capellago - which if you aren't familiar with, get ready for schnauzer dragons and umbrella monkeys and post-Marxism and college radio echolocation and the upside of batshit.
