And I enjoyed this ending, which had a flash of humor again:
We should head back to my pad. You probably need a nap same as I do to get your power back. But not before we have a drink first.”
“Not that kind,” I said, pointing to a nearby neon bar sign. “I already busted my butt looking for you in one of those dives today, and I’d rather not repeat myself.”
Thanks for giving me a small early morning chuckle
Your humor never disappoints and sometimes it's even subtle (usually actually). Right from the start:
"Anthropomorph is the land where all of the beings which, here on this Earth, are pejoratively known as “cartoon characters”,
Now you've got me thinking about what's real and what's not, and whether "cartoon characters" is pejorative. On this, I think I might have to agree with you.
I enjoyed this read - it was funny - I especially liked the idea of portals and the scene at the border and the entry into Anthropomorph - that was hilarious - then the bar fight and finally meeting Power Bunny - overall fun and riveting read 💙
Would you rather I used "termagant" or "hussy" instead?
"Termagant" is a great word!
One of my favourite characters who would be described this way is Mary Bennett in Colleen McCullough's THE INDEPENDENCE OF MISS MARY BENNETT.
And there is another term- sort of word which means argumentative, broadly.
Thank you. I only wish my bank account better reflected that.
You are quite the writer David!!
I see the image and the line "the narrator" and I know this will be a good read XD

“Never mind,” I said, dropping the goat abruptly to Earth, and letting her and her pals recover from their beating on the bar room floor.''
this line stood out to me in particular great stuff.
