A request from a friend


Having a hard time choosing a name for that fox. So many wonderful suggestions. ; n ;

Felix would be good because it's a cat name and foxes are very cat like.

Viktor the Fox.
Marcus the Fox.
Bobby the Fox.
William the Fox.
P.J. the Fox.
Nutsy the Fox.
Sir Chumbly the Fox
Peter the Fox
Funky the Fox
Fred the Fox
George the Fox, aka Foxy George
Gerald the Fox
and finally, McGillis the Fox

MY LIST IS LONG ENOUGH, STOP MAKING THIS HARDER THAN IT ALREADY IS BUT ALSO THANK YOU

AND

Photography is art, so here's a buncha stuff from my hiking trip today/yesterday!

First off, banana slugs for Zeebs~ ♥









And some other critters:

Yeah, something about that name jumped out at me too, for some reason. But what exactly does the 'P.J' stand for?

I think 'Peter Jackson' is taken.

P.J. = Percy-Joe

I like McGillis because he looks Scottish to me

Nah man, s'all good. She was super friendly. Kind of lethargic, actually. I think she just came out of hibernation recently. I was more worried about the horse flies than the bees!

I AM THE BEE WHISPERER

Banana slugs are cool. We have a few types out here.

Hmm, I vote Cornelius. It sounds the most like an explorers name lol.

I think Darwin would be a cool name. Darwin Foxly, or something like that.

There's an obvious link between the name Darwin and animals, so it fits well. And I guess you could say that Darwin was an explorer of the animal kingdom.

Cornelius is nice.

There should be another character in there, like a badger or something, who always calls the fox "Captain" because he has shell shock and is deluded into thinking that the fox fought in the war with him.

It's all about establishing the proper profiles.

Lovin dis stuff!

I've barely done anything and you're all coming up with a character just because of possible names! I love you guys.

I was indeed thinking of other characters. I had a crow in mind, one that was in a dream, actually. Might do something else instead, we'll see.

Everyone is loving Cornelius but I'm still partial to Wicks because the friend who suggested it was also the inspiration for this fox. It's short and quick and sly yet quirky. Maybe his full name will be Cornelius Wicks and his crow/badger/other friend will use "Cornelius" when he wants to be a bother.

That's cute.

His mom can yell "Cornelius!" when he's in trouble.

HE WON'T HAVE PARENTS WHERE HE'S GOING

/cue depressing music

So far, any story revolving around him is just about generic adventures in the woods. Something fun and simple for me to doodle. No family (and no friends unless I stick that second character in there), and I'm leaning towards mostly no dialogue. Like the fishing picture, but hopefully I'll get around to making more panels and having comic strips instead of one big drawing.

That's a shame. I was thinking that the story could revolve around his attempt to come to terms with his negligent mom, absent father and always more popular than him older brother while working as a hotel maintenance engineer in Boston. I was picturing at least four or five trade paper-backs worth of serious graphic novel material with social commentary on the state of the proletariat in light of the fact that the ruling elite really don't have that much of a choice about how to best conduct foreign policy with the people only being willing to support war when they believe that it will make them feel better.

I guess a fox could hang out in the woods though. Seems weird but you could probably make it work.

I know it's totally weird EVERYONE IS GOING TO HATE IT UGH sob

Like what kind of fox hangs out in the woods? COME ON, TARA.
