No, those aren't scenes.

Has nothing to do with Earthshaker eggs.

Yup, there are many scenes and some are pretty specific.

While it hasn't been a major hit, your numbers are definitely too low. (It's possible we sold that many in Finland, though I can't easily calculate.)

Mike Raabe used mostly airbrush or paint, I don't think there are any inks at all from him.

Mike Raabe's picture is in the game. We found Damon Brown too late in the process to include him.
