Yes, that's it exactly--
To be less snarky, these aren't uplifted Earth animals--they live in a parallel universe that only resembles our world. They may not even be talking about chocolate as we know it.
It's funny--when a female furry character looks human from the neck down, nobody says anything. Ducks with fingers and teeth and dragons with mammary glands get a complete pass. Mention eating chocolate, though, and you get the biology lesson!
Not meanin' to pick on you, Silvermage--it's just that "Freefall" usually gets the theobromine argument whenever Florence Ambrose drinks coffee or talks about chocolate.

Yeah, I see that all the time. Y'all got dogs that are bright purple with lightning bolt designs down the side of their limbs that can do magic and parasail and solve Fermat's Theorem, but if somebody says that they might be able to eat chocolate then suddenly that's too unrealistic. I also like to point out that while chocolate became this legend for some reason, there are dozens of common foods that are bad for dogs. Raisins, garlic, nutmeg, mushrooms, onions, there are lots of things that you've gotta be careful of when feeding a dog. Much easier to becauseIsaidso past all this and go back to fun animal people stories.
I was thinking a lot about how to make this comic more comic-like while writing it. The way that Uri will get started on a long yarn with an audience and get interrupted constantly as he tells the story is true to life. It happens quite frequently to me when I'm telling a story in person. These interludes made for a great way to have cutaways back to the present where the story is being told. I think this strange novel/comic hybrid really did combine the best of both mediums.
I have to agree -- it has been a good synergy of the arts.
I definitely have been interrupted by my audience when telling a story, too. My tendency to include a lot of background detail seems to irk some folks, and even my written prose can ramble (I've published some here for the stouthearted).
