You listenin’?” The badger starts. “Cuz zI’m gonna talk real straight with you.” 3. The badger stands in a vulnerable stature.

I’m askin’ that you please be patience with me.” 4. The rep understands the badger’s plight clearly.

ALT Sweat Hearts, a 4-panel comic. 1. Huely is laying across Gelle's lap, pondering deep thoughts with loose sketches and an outline of a comic he's making, sporting a pink pair of headphones nestled comfortably in his ears. Tears well in his eyes. His whimpers catch Gelle's attention. "Oh--Huely? What's the matter, sweat heart?" 2. "Aw, I'm alright!" Huely reassures Gelle with a smile. Wiping a tear away from his own cheek. "I like listening to particular songs while I write. It inspires me when I need to plot out scenes in my comic." 3. Huely continues, "I can work this out in the other room, if you prefer." Gelle smiles down at his fox with a heartfelt warmth. "No, it's alright, Huely. I understand perfectly." 4. Huely settles back into Gelle's lap, looking deeply at the page of his comic. Gelle wraps his hand around Huely's and finishes, "You inspire me, too."

ALT A 4-panel, 1-off comic entitled “Ripped Search” featuring my interpretation of Fox and Wolf. 1. Wolf sits in a dark, rusted cel at gun point by Fox. Both are dressed in dessert-wandering garbs (a callback to the old Nintendo Power comics). Wolf retorts, “Dammit, Fox! Can’t you jus’ take my word for it?! I’m not armed!” 2. “Right now, I’d prefer that you were.” Fox, being more than half-serious. He sighs, “Let’s just get this over with.” Wolf stands and starts to pull away his layers. Mumbling, “Whatever.” 3. Wolf stands topless. Exposing his unexpectedly, absolutely chiseled upper body to Fox. His hands already tugging down his pants. Showing off the tight-fitting, makeshift underwear he sports. “Ugh.” Fox reacts, knowing he must compose himself during this strip search. “Geeze, Wolf. That’s just so…” 4. Fox stands, squeezing his own scrawny arms. Completely taken off guard at Wolf’s physique. Blushing, he finishes his statement, “…Unnecessary.”
