Description
Story of life in the Americas during the last Glacial Maximum.

A tribe of humans experiencing the last of the Missoula glacial floods. There are four plots: 1) a grandmother and her eldest grandchild struggling to keep up w/ the tribe who are now on the move to the mountains w/ the increase in water flow downriver of the ice dam, meanwhile, 2) the father (son of grandmother) and mother searching for their 2nd son before the dam ruptures. 3) The youngest sibling out on a hunt, the tribe’s right of passage, on his own. Is completely unaware of the situation and is heading right in the direction of the ice dam, following a deer he had failed to kill several times. His story is shadowed by a raven watching from afar. 4) At this time, we follow a pair of mammoths who've fallen behind their herd. Following the death of a calf’s mother, she is taken under the care of her aunt.

As for the timeline, starts in late summer/autumn, then winter, and ends by springtime as the weather warms up.

...

Artist’s Notes: Title is a nod to the film, “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World”.

Went over a few different design choices for the sabre-tooth. From big lips to the more traditional toothy grin (as it seems indecisive for the moment). From short hair to shaggy, almost lion-like mane fur coverage.

...

- Sabre-tooth Cat (Smilodon)
