Hanuk The Magician Returns!

After some time away Hanuk The Magician returned to the grand stage!

Hanuk'd!

Hanuk does not like to be pestered, poked, prodded or in any other way provoked!

Hanuk!

Hanuk silently slithers like a sneaky snake!

York

                      York met Hanuk on his recent travels and decided to follow him back to Earth.  

Hanuk's Landing

Hanuk returns to Earth!

Wolfen and Howling's Scary Night

Wolfen and Howling spent the day watching old Sci-fi movies.  Later that evening they heard a loud crash and saw a ball of light flash from the forest.  They reluctantly left the house to investigate.

Howling's New Creation

Howling just finished his new creation!

Randolph

My friend Randolph stopped by for dinner last night.  That bear can really eat!

Wolfen's Scarves

Wolfen loves scarves.  Sometimes, selecting which one to wear on a cold winter day really takes longer than it should.  Growing tired of waiting, James Howling suggested Wolfen should just wear all of them.  So he did.

Radley

Recently, I visited Amherst and Northampton, Mass.  While traveling through the snow covered roads, a creature appeared in my rearview mirror gliding through the fields.  I felt he was following me so I stopped the car to say hello.  He introduced himself as Radley and welcomed me to the area.  From that moment on I saw him everywhere.  Skiing the fields, the hills and the mountains.  I even bumped into him at The Eric Carle Museum.  We both shared the same enthusiasm for a piece by Garth Williams that he created for "Little Fur Family".  It was Amazing!
I hope some day soon Radley and I will get to hang out again.

Wolfen and Howling

Snow covered all of Hobanu recently.  With a fresh frozen pond Wolfen thought it was the perfect opportunity to have a skate-off with James Howling.  Young Howling never had a chance!  Wolfen immediately stole the show!

Howling's Space Travel

James Howling, Myrtle Tweedy, Tu and Robot Henrik have spent countless hours completing their new project.  A spaceship named HOBANU 1.  They have yet to test their new craft outside of the hemisphere.  Soon, they will prepare for the amazing galactic journey.  All are excited about sharing their travels with us in their respective journals.  Let's Wish them luck!

Robot Clayton

Please welcome Robot Clayton to A Strange Howl!  

James Howling's Robot

At a very young age, James Howling discovered that he was uniquely handy.  Especially when it came to building robots.  Often, James can be found in his workshop with his good friend Mrytle Tweedy planning his next mechanical marvel.  Today, James Howling is affectionately introducing his latest robot creation 'Edison'.

I would like to express my deepest sympathy and take the time to send my thoughts and prayers to the Amazing folks of Newtown, Ct.  You are forever in my heart.

James Howling

Young James Howling lives in a treehouse off the shores of Wolf Lake.  He is an active hiker, adventurer and seeker.  He tries to keep himself out of trouble, but sometimes curiosity gets the better of him.  When he is not running around with the creatures of the forest he can often be found with his best friend Myrtle Tweedy (who you will meet soon).  They enjoy reading books and swapping tales about the magic and mystery of Hobanu.

Tu Travels

Tu traveled below the earth through slippery tunnels, coasted on rumbling streams and flew high above hopping from branch to branch on the tallest of trees.  It took him a couple of weeks, but he made it home safe and sound with many stories to tell.  It's not often that I get to spend time with Tu.  If he is not here in Hobanu, he is traveling, collecting photos and keeping journals to add to his many volumes of travel experiences.  You could easily get lost in his world after reading his stories.  Thanks Tu!

Tu's Visit

My old friend Tu came for a surprise visit last week.  He traveled from the northern most point of Hobanu Forest where the snow has fallen for quite some time.  Tu has said that it is the most magical region of Hobanu.  He also said that what happens in the north is better left unexplained and should really be experienced for one's self.  Safe Travels!

Wolfen Games

Silly Wolfen is up to his old tricks.  Fortunately, the birds of the forest are unruffled by his creepy demeanor and startling stomps.  Hopefully Wolfen will realize that this is not the best way to make friends.

Friendly Wolfen

Wolfen is not exactly the most revealing creature that I've met.  Each time we get together he reveals his personality a little bit more than the last.  Wolfen is sly and likes to play tricks on the other creatures of the forest.  He is also mysterious and at times difficult.  Despite all of that Wolfen is quite friendly and not as frightening as I once thought.

That being said, I am still trying to get him to reveal his true name, sadly I've had no luck.  I look forward to many more strange encounters.  So long for now Wolfen.

Tu

Late last night my old friend Tu stopped by for a surprise visit.  We caught up for a bit, enjoyed a pot of tea, ate delicious treats and Tu shared a few amazing travel stories.  It's been a while since the last time we had a chance to hang out, but its like no time has passed at all.  I hope we have many more nights just like this.  See you soon Tu!

Theo's Books

Theo knew the new school year was going to be tough, but he thought this was a tad ridiculous.

Theo the Owl

Hello I would like to introduce you to Theo and he is an owl.

Sneaky Wolfen!

Oh Wolfen.  Sometimes I don't know if he is trying to make friends or if he is going to eat them.  Either way I'll keep my eyes peeled.  I think we are becoming good friends though.  I think.  Well as long as he is not hungry I think we will be okay.

Wolfen Two

He still hasn't told me his name.  Quite mysterious, but this creature isn't as scary as I thought he was originally.  I still tiptoe around him because you just never know, but I have a feeling he will be a great friend.  Eventually.

Wolfen Creature

I saw this creature while on my travels driving the windy roads along the Hudson.  I wish I could've stayed longer, but this creature made it quite clear he wasn't accepting visitors on this day.

Creature in Progress

Soon to be in his natural habitat.

Woodland Creature

Hanuk takes a Trip

My friend Hanuk has decided to go on a vacation for the next two weeks.  When he returns he will share his amazing moments from the road.  Safe travels Hanuk.

Hanuk rides le Tour

My friend Hanuk always dreamed of being one of the legendary cyclists to ride le Tour de France.  Yesterday, he settled for the small streets around town and imagined he was in the final stages of the great race.  The crowd roared!
