Mammoth Hunt is about childhood discovery and learning the difference between need and excess. Overprotecting children often leads them to believe life should be easy. They then get confused when they have to put real work into accomplishing their goals (see early to mid-20s). Trackers kids can learn directly from nature and view the world through the lens of survival. Even more profound, this helps them to see the difference between personal gratification and caring for the community. Production Note: After much debate, we decided to make this comic silent for panels representing the hunt. We felt it better conveyed an important awareness tool. Too often our educational system forces an internal and external dialogue on children. And silence is something they often do not get to experience. Plus, it was a homage to a famous issue of the G.I. Joe comic from our youth, "Silent Interlude" by Larry Hama.
