There's (or rather was) an ad here in Oz, commonly referred to as "the bugger ad" - it's for a car if I recall correctly, but that's not important - the basic premise is that crap happens to everyone and all they have to say is "bugger".
This stuck in my head as a wonderfully clever framing device.
Also, it's funny.
So, when it came to "I want to write a Beast Wars Mosaic" and "I want to do humour this time" the logical choice was a variation of the above.
Genius borrows and talent steals, or so I've heard ;-)
It's a three moment slice of Rhinox's life, the "masks" he wears; warrior, engineer, poet.
The one who holds the line against the enemy.
The one who fixes the unfixable.
He reflects upon all the trials of his life, and in a quiet moment... smelling the flowers... he thinks "yeah, it's all worth it".
I think that sums up the character of Rhinox IMO, and in the opinions of others fans as well, which is wonderful.
Again, the artwork is what sells this story, and it's not a surprise that the artist's gotten some official work from IDW. He deserves it.
