You mostly see them on german shepherds, no?

That and in Boxers. But I meant in the comic.

I had a look back at the K9 squad and didn't see any.

Silly Zealot, where have YOU seen them?

I imagine the itsuki character from Catena comics. (Or any Japanese Raccoon Dog character in general.)

I kinda see it, but I like imagining the Italian accent. xD

I was actually aiming for italian without deliberately putting in "-a"s in there

But-a Chico Marx is-a the classic, eh?

Hlaoroo wrote:Silly Zealot, where have YOU seen them?

Several isolated comics, RioluNation's avatar being an example. Years of reading books with low light because I was too lazy to get up and turn on the lampshade (and lso eating carrots) make for a decent sight.
Truth is I always found spots, specially in people's skins, to be disgusting. Can't really describe why, I guess it's the contrast, maybe.

Use loose italian words like "testa", "questo" or "vadda a bordo." And, if all else fails, just scream "Spaghetti" as loud (or, in this case, with the biggest font) as possible.

Speaking of putting things in the comic, did you debate in your mind placing a hint of drool at King's mouth at the thought of a hamburger cake? (Not a lot, just enough to emphasize the expression.)
Something like this:

By the way, I love MS Paint... and I find myself craving meatloaf...

I officially love Bailey now. But why should they stop with a half hamburger/ half cake combo?

Let me play with the image link.....

Ah there we go! Bailey and King should either get a big hamburger that looks like a cake or...



Get a cake that looks like a hamburger.

I'd personally go for the Giant Hamburger, however this choice is not for the faint of heart.

And bacon. Can't forget the bacon.

Heck, just hire Epic Meal Time to make the cake.

Good grief!

I'm marrying that mega hamburger!
I'm gonna become the male version of the black widow.

But male black widows get eaten.

The hamburger cake that was first posted looked AMAZING...


I think this wedding will be quite the event for Bino to ruin.... I am sure he will not be invited.

Bailey.... you are the best idea person.... dog... I have ever known!!!

Did someone request a ground beef cake? (Epic Meal Time Mac n' Cheese Cake): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCrbv81SBHg

You are right, my apologies, I should have clarified: I'll be the male version of the black widow female!
EDIT: What a coincidence! An adversitment promoting the McDonald's version of Monopoly is hovering over this forum in front of my screen as I write this. We may have talked about hamburgers too much, you guys.

is it just me or is there some guy snooping around in the background

Wasn't it Hitchcock that had a tv show where he would have a cameo or a walk-through in the background in every episode? Or maybe the guy from the neighborhood watch sign is coming back...

Okay guys if there's going to be any more nitpicking of the artwork I'm going to have to see some of your own fanart

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! I expect a fair amount of worship to yours truly to begin in 3...2....1..

... O.K., if you say so! Just remember, you asked for it.
I really wouldn't mind being critiqued (For freee!!) by a top notch artist such as yourself.

New weekly feature: Rick Griffin criticizes bad fan art!

I'm not sure if this classifies as fanart per se', but you've inspired me, so here it is:


Woodland creature perhaps? You may modify and use if you like.

Sleet wrote:New weekly feature: Rick Griffin criticizes bad fan art!

But I don't know if I'll be able to draw enough fanart to upload one per week. Then again, I might be able to squeeze in a fan comic based on some of my fan fiction... Hmm...

lol i wasnt nitpicking i though that might be really nicely hidden foreshadowing, untill you posted this i was going to look in the next comic to see if i could spot the hidden person again

The Italian Bakers face O_O
Rick, are you TRYING to give me nightmares for two weeks?!

I've noticed that TheOne's character also has blue jeans. Is this going to be the centerpiece of the fanarts now?

It's Slender-deer! He's waiting for you to come into the woods...

Don't you mean Slendeer Man?

Actually that character is supposed to be a girl. Also, a link
I've been doing drawings like that for years, but not often, and my medium is usually colored pencil. Plus, I wanted to see what the character would look like if I made her a little closer to reality than having the "enhanced chest mode" on.

EDIT: One more thing: An adult male deer will normally have a full set of antlers by the time the weather turns as green as it is in that picture, and I wouldn't think of drawing a male deer character without Bambi-style headgear.

Okay, so it's Slendeer woman. XD

GeckoZY wrote:Okay, so it's Slendeer woman. XD

I think "Slendoe" would be more accurate.
Also, are those really blue jeans or a very unusual skin condition?

rickgriffin wrote:Okay guys if there's going to be any more nitpicking of the artwork I'm going to have to see some of your own fanart

I'm pretty sure that you wouldnt like to see mine when I try to draw them from memory.
Once I tried drawing King, but ended up looking like he had no bones.

Oh my, they are taking that really seriously. that´s adorable ^^ I´m glad that King accepted his fate as a Dog o.o

And I want to taste a hamburger-cake!
