"That's very lovely! Did you... want a hand with it?"

"N-no way! I've totally got this!"

I wanted to do a nice bit of birthday art for our favorite anthro cartoonist furret.

(If this is the wrong board for this, please let me know and I can move it. Since there seemed to be some gray areas in the forums. Likewise, let me know if the picture link breaks somehow. ^^; )

Lol that's some pretty dang good art work. I don't know how Rick or the Mods feel about this kinda of stuff, but I hope this stays =)

Happy Birthday Rick. I didn't know it was your birthday today.

Thanks a bunch, that genuinely means a lot to me. Feel free to keep an eye on me at ryusuta.deviantart.com or furaffinity.net/user/ryusuta, if you'd like. *Hugs*

I forgot if today was his birthday or yesterday. X3 I really love that picture, also.

Hmmm... I need to do something also. Give me a sec. *writes up a poem*

Alright... *taps a microphone* ...Is this thing on? no? What do you mean my voice sounds silly? Well, just dub my voice over with Sean Connery!

Here goes~

Happy Birthday, Dear Furret, Dear Rick~
Your age up is generous, with more fun and more wit.
We're happy to celebrate what one could be blessed
as the age comes wisdom, more fun and less mess
This calls for a moment of much celebration
where everyone thinks with much calibration.
We do, however, think of this in much stride
As we dare not be slow about it; or even hide
your comic is beautiful, solid and stream
like a newborn era~ colored with cream
We hope this mark of yours remains in time
for your birthday begins; with art and rhymes. =D

You know what, I think I'll take you up on that offer. I didn't even know you were into art. Also nice Poem there Gamecobra. I read it the whole way with Sean Connery's voice =P

Silly Zealot · Post by **Silly Zealot** » Sat Sep 14, 2013 9:42 am

Happy Birthday to Rick,
Happy Birthday to Rick,
Everybody wished it now
Except for that critter, Sleet!

You are becoming a sage,
As you level up in age,
But I'm not here for that,
I want a new comic page!

Your drawings are really nice,
So I ask with sugar and spice:
Make more pretty doodles,
Oh, funny character most wise!

(In case it was not clear enough, we are wishing Rick a happy birthday!)

I didn't made it a question of love, because that's reserved to everyone.

Oh BTW, very nice draw work.

Post by **Sleet** » Sun Sep 15, 2013 9:21 pm

But a belated happy birthday from me! *gives you twice the birthday hugs*

Uh oh...

I was gonna greet you yesterday but my internet got cut off! Honest! I even prepared a heartwarming speech and everything! But anyway, belated Happy Birthday, Rick! No matter how old you get, you'll always be the awesome furret to us!
