Ryan Comments: I don’t think that the blurb writer understands how time works. And the illustrator has some interesting ideas about what occurs underwater.

Outis Comments: A valiant attempt to describe an actual scene from the book. Yes, that’a foxlike alien with humanlike hands, then a different one with a beak, plus two perplexed looking humans. An ordinary day in the Humanx Commonwealth.
