TOAD FOR MAC REVIEW SERIES
The only series where Mighty speaks, but Mac does not. I would have gone really concept-y but Mac’s so loose that what he came up with was this really funny story about these two pals. Duncan and Toads last appearances until the eighteenth series. “But once we got that done, Mac said, ‘I can take it from here,’ and he went back and wrote this really hilarious text. “We talked about it until we came up with the introduction because we had to set the stage – introduce the tone of the story – before it could begin,” Klassen said. Klassen had characters but no story when he showed the drawings to Barnett, with whom he had already collaborated on two Caldecott Honor books, Extra Yarn (Balzer + Bray, 2012) and Sam and Dave Dig a Hole (Candlewick, 2014). “He’s got a routine and isn’t as sharp as Triangle.” “Square is a square dude,” Barnett added. All of sudden he became a trickster, whereas Square is just more solid and conservative because, well, because he’s square.” That was so interesting, that just from where you placed his eyes implied something about his character. “All the shapes have the same size eyes but with the triangle, you have to set the eyes way down in his body and, for some reason, that made him look shifty. “It was an older visual concept that came from a period when I had more time to do one-offs, with characters I made from shapes,” Klassen said.
