Merry Christmas!

Ticklish Halloween Scarecrow

In Paw Valley there is a community set up "Haunted Farm House" set up every Halloween and the proceeds go to charity. They wanted a scarecrow on the path through the cornfield leading up to the house. Lester volunteered to do that job spooking kids on the way there. However, a couple of Tickle Beavers noticed that the scarecrow was actually a living bunny tied up to the post to scare passersby.

Floyd, dressed as a pirate, said to Lester, "Oh, what a scary scarecrow!"

Then Ed, dressed up as a vampire commented, "You know, it must be pretty uncomfortable wearing those tight shoes you have on."

"He'd certainly be more comfortable barefoot, wouldn't he?" replied Floyd.

Lester gasped, knowing what the beavers were up to, "I need these shoes, their part of the costume! I....Oh, No!....Wah! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!

Floyd just removed Lester's right shoe and began tickling his now exposed barefoot with a head of wheat, putting him into a state uncontrollable laughter, while Ed began untying his left shoe!

Frolic Monsters

Bullard is having a friendly chat with Gamma Ray Tiger and Fred is tickled to meet the Foot Master at Frolic at the Eagle in San Francisco!

Frolic is a monthly nightclub event, the first Saturday of every month, run by Neon Bunny, and usually held at the Eagle for furry dancing and socializing, unless otherwise stated. Anyway, Bullard and Fred decided to go there knowing that no one would realize that one is a werewolf and the other is a purple tickle monster, they just went out to mingle with the furries and have a good time!

Powerball at the Fair

Rusty and Walter were having a fun night at the state fair when they came across Rupert Wolf hyping how easy it would be for anyone to win at his game by knocking over milk bottles with a baseball. What Rupert didn't tell anyone is that his aluminum milk bottles were weighed down with lead and glued with Grizzly Glue, known to hold any object in place no matter what force it came across and no one who tried even came close to success. Walter told Rusty to give it a shot and not to go gentle with these bottles, he didn't know if Rupert was a trustable character. That wolf told Rusty to go ahead and give it his best shot and that if he knocked all three bottles down that he could have any of the plushies above him. Rusty looked towards his best friend and said, "Wish me luck Walter!" to which he replied, " Go ahead Buddy!" Rupert grinned and let out a sinister giggle. Rusty threw the baseball to between the bottom of the bottles and they all flew off the table, to Rupert's amazement, along with the pieces of the table itself!

Pies at the Fair

Walter is eating an extra piece of the winning cherry pie at the State Fair!

This is meant to show what a state fair could have looked like around the 1890's in Silicon Valley, I'm doing this for a reason and there will be other State Fair related drawings from me in the near future!

The Dogpatch Warrior

This is Patch O'Furr  heading off on an adventure to get another great story for the Furry Fandom flying on his magical winged horse, Rainbow Pride, and carrying his Pen of Justice making him the ultimate Furry Social Justice Warrior!

Patch is the head of the Ursa Major Award winning Dogpatch Press, the most informative furry online newspaper out there, and he is also a major event organizer of Bay Area furry events. He's really an awesome guy and I decided to draw this picture for him shortly after marching in the San Francisco LGBT Pride Parade with him and a whole lot of other g

Believe in Tickling Magic

Lester volunteers for Walter's magic trick, but soon finds himself in a ticklish situation with a Tickle Beaver!

This is an image that I created for possible product uses, like t-shirts and mugs, is it good? I added the light blue color for the background to add contrast here, but I also have a transparent background that I would use for products.

Friendly Werewolf Assistance

Bullard the werewolf is helping out Pedro Lopez out of a downtown San Francisco BART station shortly after the elevator broke down. He couldn't bear to see Pedro stranded at the station in his electric wheelchair in this unfair situation and offered to carry him upstairs and onto Market Street just above them. Pedro, though surprised to get such an offer by a friendly talking werewolf, felt the sincerity in his heart and accepted the offer. To the onlookers, this was the most amazing sight of their lives!

A Toast to Friendship

Rusty and Walter are having a toast to their friendship, with a couple of glasses of zinfandel wine, that they had since they first met when going to kindergarten as small children. They're all grown up now and having lunch together at the Café de Amigos in downtown Paw Valley.

Easter Basket for a Werewolf

Bullard was watching television very early Easter morning in his San Francisco home when he heard a ringing on his doorbell. He opened the door to see a cute bunny holding a basket full of colorful eggs, plus a chocolate bunny and a marshmallow peep on a rail by the porch column! Winston handed the basket to Bullard and took off in a hurry. Bullard was happy to get such a nice gift, but he never expected one from an Easter Bunny!

Funny Rat Tickling in Stocks

Walter convinces Alphonse the Rat to come over and visit him in Paw Valley. After Alphonse comes over he takes him to the home of some friendly beavers where he tells the huge rat that he will have a good time. Well, they arrive they are escorted down stairs and into the basement, which the beavers claim is their party zone. When they get downstairs Alphonse notices all kinds of restraining devices and the beavers get together and help him into some stocks! Apparently, Walter has made friends with the Tickle Beavers and he is making sure that Alphonse has a few good laughs down there!

I felt that since Alphonse Lavallee has made a couple of drawing for me that I repay him in kind! :D
Actually, the drawings he made for me are more innocent in nature, but I thought he may enjoy this drawing! Anyway, this is my way of saying thanks!

Bullard - 1

This is my first comic of "Bullard," who is an orange furred werewolf and co starring his close pal, Fred the Tickle Monster.  They live in San Francisco and go out every night looking for a good time and, over time, I'll be setting them up for some adventures!

The one issue I have, at the present, is that coloring them may slow down the strip and I'm not sure Bullard looks good colored in color pencil when he is drawn real small to fit into some comics, these are things to think about. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the strip! :D

Waking Up the Ticklish Bear

Yesterday, Walter came over to Rusty's home for a sleepover and then to go to the "Paw Valley Arts and Craft Fair" the next day. Walter got up early and wanted to get Rusty up out of bed and seeing his big bear feet sticking out from under the blanket, he grabbed a feather that Rusty collected, feathers that he found in the woods nearby, and tickled Rusty with it! Rusty tries to tough it out, partly for the fun of it, but they both know that he is too ticklish to hold out for long! :D
