Four pages from FAIREST #9. Rapunzel's adventures in Japan (both real and magical versions) continue in Chapter Two of "The Hidden Kingdom."

Those can't be Tanuki. They don't have the balls for it.

Perhaps that was a lady Tanuki

For a sec I was gonna say, "where are their giant balls?"

Blech, JACK is there. XP The rest is awesome, but... I dislike him intensively.

Which is giving me pause. When was the "Present" part of the storyline taking place? I thought it was within the current Fables arc, post-Jack of Fables. And like, he died at the end. So... Fables never die?

[arbre_rieur]

The "present" scenes take place in 2002, before even FABLES #1.

I've always thought Rapunzel was an interesting character and I like this backstory but the mere presence of Jack in any Fables story is a major turn-off from me. He's such a repulsive character.

While I hated Jack in his own series (and the umentionable crossover),Jack in Fables was always tolerable to me (still my least favourite character) and he hasn't been to bad in this story.

Something off about those Tanuki... I just can't put my finger on it...

Wait a sec, I know those lists she's reading. That's the Pillow Book of Sei Shonagon.

Well, that's been an interesting research, must see about getting a copy of this, I have a family member who'd probably love it!

I am nothing if not a source of education. Well, okay, education and mid-80s nostalgia.
