I Have a Super Question...

So, they’re doing a comics-wide event where Earth’s denizens are all forcibly turned into beastfolk. Now the first few issues are out, I can confirm it sounds way more exciting than it actually is…
Anyway, it put me in mind of an obscure character I drew last year, Captain Carrot from the Zoo Crew, a light-hearted cartoony spoof on the-then-relevant DC canon of the early 1980s. The comic book run ran for only a year, ending in 1983 but Captain Carrot is infrequently referenced in the main human-centric comics. You can read about it here: https://www.cbr.com/captain-carrot-zoo-crew-funny-animals-guide-dc-comics/ (sorry, it’s the only still working link with images I could find).
Some wanted me to draw more from this quirky offshoot, so perhaps that is what I shall do next month, given the present Beast World event isn’t very interesting. I mean, Batman as a wolf…? Harley Quinn as a muscle-bunny? Okay… (but who knows, something may turn up—Black Adam as a lion is alright…)
Thank you for participating, guiding my hand and supporting these ventures.
P.S. Yeah, I am totally riffing that smug-looking All-Star Superman by Frank Quietly that for some reason, every single news website uses when discussing James Gunn's hard reboot of the DC Cinematic Universe. I'll saved a textless version of this image as an attachment for you.
