Its always been really cute to see cody in action. I can also appreciate the simplicity of the story - I think it fits your audience very well. I did find however, a few typos that you might want to look over and revise for the next pass. Give it a quick skim and i'm sure you'll find em. I really like how you are sticking with a consistent style for the pictures - if you get the chance you might want to go into photoshop and try this formula for stylizing images (it'll give you like a nice comic book/abstract feel) - goto: 1. image > mode > grayscale 2. image > mode > duotone (then pick your color scheme) - this is optional 3. image > adjustments > posterize (adjust settings to your liking) 3. filters > artistic > poster edges (adjust settings to your liking) 4. filters > sketch > halftone pattern and that's it...maybe you'll like it. Good luck on Pass 4! Hey Matt, Looks like your making great progess on the Kody series. Its always been really cute to see cody in action.

I'd never heard of it before, but I'd like to check it out. Do you own it? Would you be willing to lend it to me? This sounds like a very interesting movie.

I would be interested in sharing your adventures of Kody to my students. I teach 5th grade and accepting differences is a life lesson teachers try to tackle. It doesn't seem to matter how old they are either, they still need a little reminder. What a wonderful story you have written! I would be interested in sharing your adventures of Kody to my students.
