"What about the others from the show? Do you ever see them?"

"They've all been gone for years. Longtusk held out the longest. But I was the star, and the stars are always the last ones left."

Blurb: Lauren's been a fan of Terrence Tiger since she was a little girl, and the chance to interview the cartoon star is any fan's dream. But there's more to Terrence than sight gags and pratfalls, and soon there's more to their relationship than either of them expected.

Why is it worth your time?: It's a bittersweet story of fandom and shameless love of the beings who populate our favorite cartoons. I enjoyed it!

Terrence is dying at the start of the story, and he dies at the end, but he has a good death and a good end.
