News Anchor: There's been a new development in the case of a skinned rabbit corpse that was believed to be the Easter Bunny. The Easter Bunny himself has finally come forward, making his first public appearance since the incident, to show that he is alive and well, and gave a press conference earlier today to quell well rumors of his death.

(cuts to press conference recording)

Easter Bunny: Too right mate, I was just chucking a sickie there. Bloody sorry about the bloke that carked it though, and hope his killers are brought to justice. Cheers! (adjusts his face as his eye sockets become misaligned with his unusually large, soulless black eyes)

We've all had a lot of fun, but I'd like to dig into the insane world of Kaye Kessing. Kaye is crazy, but an endearing sort of crazy. She's an environmental activist in Australia whose pet issue is invasive species. She really, really does not like feral cats. Her solution to Australia's feral cat problem? Cook and eat them.

quote:

"To make a point about the problem that feral cats are causing right across Australia I cooked a 'catterole' in [a] bush foods competition," she said.

"Aboriginal mob out bush have eaten cat for a long time, if it's good enough for them it's good enough for me."



She really, really doesn't like cats. This picture comes from a poster, for sale on her site, titled "That Feral Cat." She's not wrong, invasive species have done massive damage worldwide, and cats (feral and domestic) are some of the worst. But she is... strident.



Since people, in general, are both stupid and emotional, here are the three Amazon reviews of Easter Bilby's Secret (the second of the Easter Bilby books).



Related, she has a poster titled "The Great Battle," which also depicts the war between cats and native species in Australia.

FactsAreUseless

The Easter Bilby series has two books. The first is titled simply "Easter Bilby."

quote:

Easter Bunny is old and tired but who could do his job properly? His grandson Flash Rabbit only wants to be famous. Should Easter Bunny pass his job on to an introduced rabbit or to a native Australian?

With a gentle hint that rabbits are not ideal in this country, EASTER BILBY has helped turn the focus on our native creatures, as well as supporting the Easter message of hope and new life.

If you read the last post, you may be saying "I don't think Kaye Kessing can do gentle hints." You are correct.



If these were human beings this would be intensely racist. Again, however, they are not, and also she is completely right. Rabbits have been very harmful to Australia.

Then there is EASTER BiLBY'S SECRET, which explains the value of native Australian species by depicting them as horrifying aliens that imitate natural life but are revealed by, uh... being horrifying aliens.

quote:

Easter Bilby has been given the job of delivering Easter eggs all around Australia. But Cat and Fox roam the country always on the hunt for tasty native creatures. How will Easter Bilby and his friends get the job done safely and on time? A clever plan is needed but Cat and Fox must not find out.

Meet Chuditch, Mala, Numbat and Sticky, Bilby’s companions in the BILBY’S RING Tales. Learn that cats and foxes are a major reason why many of our native creatures are disappearing.

FactsAreUseless

But wait, what's this?

quote:

in the BILBY'S RING tales

BILBY'S RING... a Tolkienesque epic fantasy trilogy set in Australia? Almost. There are 10 tales, divided into three books.



quote:

Bilby the Pink-eared Bandicoot heads off with Chuditch the Spotted Quoll, hoping to find a safe place to live. Firekeepers no longer walk the great western deserts, burning the country in patches to bring new growth. Feral animals are everywhere, hunting creatures like Bilby and Chuditch or eating too many native plants. Our Australian deserts are no longer safe enough for many of our native species.



quote:

Joined by Mala the Rufous Hare Wallaby, Numbat and Sticky the Stick-nest Rat, the five are urged on by others in trouble.

As a simple search becomes a mighty quest, they must travel far across a great wide land to seek help from that scariest of species, the humans!



quote:

Far on the sunup side of Australia, in the Biggest City by the Endless Sea, Felis Grandiosa the megalomaniac gutter cat has heard of the coming of The Five and swears to stop them.

Can Tinny and Nessa, the young humans who befriend The Five, manage to save them from a shocking death?

Three points here:

1. Megalomaniac Gutter Cat
2. These are legit some fantastic fantasy titles. "Into the Bowels of the Biggest City" is especially good.
3. Sadly, no text samples are available, so it will remain unclear whether Bilby opens a box, spins around, or finds a gem.

Flash Rabbit's backwards cap and giant sneakers are killing me.

I still have no idea who Ali Garnett is, since I think Kaye writes and illustrates everything herself.

Yeah, her posters are very Renaissance-era book of revelations painting sort of style. It's pretty fascinating.

This is way more awesome than the "Jesus" secret I was expecting.

I guess the "secret" is that invasive species are bad?
