Over at Newsarama, Matt Brady gives us the scoop on Silent Forest, a story about a forest abandoned by humans and left for the animals.
Newsarama: At first glance Silent Forest resembles a children's comic. Was that the point? Is it supposed to make fun of those happy animal comics?
 Christian Beranek: It's a bunch of parodies so you can say that. Obviously we didn't want to stuff in there to offend kids but it is supposed to be subversive.
NRAMA: Was the idea just to do a fun story?
CB: It's basically the animals' tales in the forest. We just wanted a platform where we could tell as many different types of stories as possible with the same characters. We didn't want to have any rules or boundaries from the real world. I think when you have an anthropomorphic comic you have the opportunity to tell different types of stories without guidelines.
NRAMA: In it's own way, it's slightly reminiscent of Jeff Smith's Bone. Did you mean to parody that?
CB: That was not our intent. My brother, who first came up with the idea a couple of years ago, had never even heard of Bone.
