Moon 3 - Part 1

A collage-style comic. The title reads: "MOON 3 - THE FORGOTTEN HOUSE - Morning" The first panel shows three cats standing in front of a decrepit house. Babyleg- a large tabby cat with a tear in one ear- has his back to the camera. Approaching Babyleg from offscreen are Longpaw- a small grey cat carrying a bag of beef jerky- and Gutterrat- a tall tortoiseshell cat carrying a dead rat. Gutterrat has some small scrapes on her. Babyleg is saying: “Ho there, clanmates! Oh— strike me lucky, little one– good find.” Text reads: "Babyleg sniffed at Longpaw’s ‘catch’ deeply– theatrically. Gutterrat would have laughed, at Longpaw’s age. Longpaw did not." The next panel shows babyleg with his paws clasped and a happy expression, in front of a picture of a bag of beef jerky. Text reads: “How I’ve missed this human dross– smell that? That’s nothing your Starclan ever meant for cats t’eat. Heavenly stuff– good catch indeed!”
A collage-style comic. At the top of the page, dialogue reads "...thanks." next to a talking head of Longpaw looking irritated. Text below it reads: "Longpaw’s ears flattened, a little. Her eyes slid sideways, trying to catch Gutterrat’s." The next panel shows Gutterrat in front of a thought bubble that takes up most of the panel. The words in it are hand-written and hard to make out; they're mostly discussing difficulties with the clan being unable to fight and hunt enough, and not being sure what to do in an emergency. Gutterrat has a 'thinking' pose. The next panel shows Gutterrat looking surprised at the thought bubble pops. She says "Oh! “Yeah! Uh– nice job, Longpaw.” Below, text reads: "Did Longpaw’s ears droop, a little? Gutterrat blinked, jarred out of her thoughts. She ached, all over– rat-bites, and little claw-marks. Her jaw sore, her neck. Eyes like the roads in wintertime; dry salt crust. That wouldn’t do. Not with the two of them, looking at her that way. She shoved her ears forward– hadn’t realized that she’d let them droop. " “Well! A feast here, and I’m starving. Does anybody want first bite?” Finally, a thought bubble comes from a talking head of babyleg, looking embarrassed. He's thinking "Wait, I actually gotta eat this now… wonder if I can convince Gutterrat to trade with me. The stuff tastes like hot asphalt…"

Gutterrat’s friend says nice things about Longpaw, but it just makes Gutterrat feel guilty.
