Commented Rerun: Book Advice

Last year I told some things about where the comic came from,
and posted old drawings.

I'm going to do a repeat of that this autumn. For a month you'll get the first strips - with comments - while I work on a project of sorts.

Yeah, somtimes Sylvia is lazy.

The part about book storage was intended as foreshadowing, and still is… I just haven't got around to it yet.

It's here I start my trend with bad animal name puns, even if I have to change the established rules to make them work.

There is actually an in-world reason why people are usually known as [First Name] the [Species]. Some have a surname or epithet (like Sylvia is actually Sylvia Whiskerwiggle, but doesn't use it) but most don't.

For an bad animal pun on a real world person or the like, there are no rules that apply.

Jane Eider is Jane Eyre in reality, and Orlandoe is Orlando. I presume Orlandoe was written by Virgina the Wolf, its an easy pun to make.

I'm uncertain of a good animal pun for Charlotte Brontë, who in reality of course wrote Jane Eyre. Any ideas?
