Sfar and Trondheim's peculiar universe includes anthropomorphic animals, such as the clan of impolite rabbits who sit around the pub all day, mixed with monsters both familiar, like orcs, and new, like the Bermaw, a cute blob of meat that will jump down your gullet and expand until you burst. It all centers around the Dungeon, a giant castle filled with traps, labyrinths, monsters and gold, run as a business to attract adventurers seeking their fortune and fame.

Right now, he says, people conflate the E.U., the euro and the constitution (still being negotiated) into "a big blob of Europe," which means it's hard to predict how they'll feel about the constitution after an exhaustive campaign. But still they fear the blob. Cummings, who has been present recently at focus groups testing themes to fight the constitution, says people voice anti-E.U. views spontaneously and with a vehemence that leaves the government little to work with.
