Exactly what it says.Very nicely done. Don't know much about myths, but very nice. The linework-on the Moddey Dhoo in particular-is fantastic.

very cool how all the dogs are there. I've never read a comic like this before.. it makes you think. so many tv shows, comics, books.. they dumb down things.. you make us think and i love that about this comic.

My copy of "An Encyclopedia of Fairies" by Katharine Briggs says that the Gytrash (or Guytrash) looks like a cow rather than like a dog, but maybe it's another case of folklore varying from one source to the next.

Gytrash looks like many things including cows and donkeys. I drew him like a donkey at first and it just looked like I'd drawn a donkey on a page full of dogs. |

About the page: I had no idea there was so many. Gurt Dog and Moddey Dhoo both have some very awesome colouring, Lean Dog looks feral and scary. |

So are the other Black Dogs guides as well, or do they do other things?

Any chance you'll ever post the first version of this page with the donkey? |

I'm a fan of Gytrash's multiple eyes.
Mezz, why does your avatar ring so many bells within my poor cramped brain?

No idea man. Unless you're a fan of Gileah and the Ghost Train? (I know I linked to them in the music thread before.) That's frontwoman Gileah Taylor in my avatar. |

Now I have Led Zeppelin stuck in my head.  I love these little things. I'm a sucker for this sort of mythology, and any way it gets tied into the Gunnerkrigg story makes me all squee inside. |

Can someone who knows Welsh help a Yankee out with the pronunciation of "Cŵn Annwn"?
