The death of Shere Khan...Nice!
Brilliant! Fables was a constant, joyous reminder of the themes and tones of the classic tales through its consistently accurate characters and situations and you have a doozy here: never - NEVER - trust Shere Khan. It reminds me of the story about the frog agreeing to shuttle the scorpion across the stream on its back, after the scorpion promises not to sting him mid-way and drown them both. The scorpion, of course, does so, and as they both drown, the frog asks him why. “Because I am a scorpion, and I sting.” That’s Khan (and his truth) in a nutshell.
Another shining gem in your treasure trove of original art - sincere congratulations!
