Kitten Kaboodle Mission 2: The Lightning Opal

Description

"DOG sent that mousebot after me for a reason," said Kitten Kaboodle. "Our mission, if we choose to accept it, is to find out why." Kitten Kaboodle is no bundle of fluff. His scratching post is a comms unit and his collar can freeze a dog at twenty paces. Kitten Kaboodle is the number one secret agent at CAT - the Clandestine Activity Taskforce. When the Disaster Organisation Group (DOG) sends an opal-chipped robot to find Kitten Kaboodle, he leads the canines to CAT Headquarters, and then all the way to Lightning Ridge. Can Kitten Kaboodle stop DOG from using the opalised dinosaur skeleton that lies beneath the desert sand?

Heath McKenzie is a Melbourne-based artist who has worked with many publishers and production companies. Heath is generally inspired by too much television, too many movies and music (lots of music). He is specifically inspired by movie posters, 50s and 60s commercial art, Japanese signs and cartoons (anything animated, really).
