You're right in that he does seem to play the role of the kids' conscience. The more I write and draw him the better he gets. He seems to be the perfect foil for Zip and Li'l Bit, playing the part of the "protector" or adult to the kids. Of course, any sort of serious psychological examination into why I portrayed the "adult" character as a impotent statue without a body would probably reveal serious emotional issues and character flaws on my part. So let's not think about it anymore. ;) Thanks. You’re right in that he does seem to play the role of the kids’ conscience. The more I write and draw him the better he gets.

Yes, he also seems like a friendly "protector" lion to me. And it seems that the kids like him, too. I really think that his role is to act as their conscience. He's just part of the magic of childhood, where all kinds of things seem alive. Willoughby is a great character. Yes, he also seems like a friendly “protector” lion to me.

You're being too optimistic about the fate of any little children possibly eaten by Willoughby. "If" he ever managed to get a child to climb into his mouth so he could eat them, I figure they're probably still sitting around in his belly, wherever that is, cold and lonely. But I don't think he would ever eat anybody anyway. He's just a lot of big talk. :) Hey Bow!

If he ate those children from before I don't believe they were ever in danger just sent back to there rooms for a time out of some sort. In some way there was a secret passage like in the game of clue. Yet i'm being optimistic because i like lions, especially willoughby, you've drawn him so well I view him as the or one of the protectors of the house, he has to be bossy but its apparent that he cares for those that reside inside of his house.
