Bull Tickles the Bear!

Moscato, not liking how losing the first wrestling match to Rusty, challenged him to another. Moscato promised to give up his hard feelings on bears if Rusty were to win so he agreed to the match. However, Moscato had another trick up his sleeve. First he managed to trip Rusty in a no rules match and then he quickly hopped on his back, grabbed his right ankle, and began tickling the sole of Rusty's bear foot! Rusty tried to hold back as long as he could, a couple of seconds, and then burst into insane laughter as Moscato held him in place for a couple of ticklish minutes. That match went to Moscato! 

This again was also a statement on a positive economy and stock market. This may not be good for Rusty, but it's great for Wall Street! 8D

The Bear takes the Bull

Moscato, the bull, doesn't like bears at all and challenges Rusty to a public wrestling match. Rusty, tired of Moscato's attitude accepts the challenge. Unfortunately for Moscato, Rusty proved to be more than a match for the powerful bull and gets the smack down of his life!

I originally created Moscato as a symbolic adversary relating to the state of the economy, you know, the bear and bull markets. Considering the recent economic events in China and the huge drops at the New York Stock Exchange, I thought the timing was perfect! 8D

The Champion of Wall Street

It so happens that Walter, the raccoon, wanted to go see the economic engine that is Wall Street and, of course, he brought along his best friend Rusty, the bear, to keep him company. They had a pretty good time exploring downtown Manhattan and then the came up to the famous statue of the Bull on Wall Street. Neither of them could resist the humorous symbolism of having the bull brought down by a bear, especially in these economic times. So Rusty got on top of the statue and put himself at an angle that makes it look like he is bringing the swaying bull down so that Walter could take a picture of this. However, the people in the area aren't to pleased with this and Walter notices the cop coming to put an end to this joke, but Rusty is having too much fun to notice what's going on!

This is the 2nd of 3 drawings where Walter, Rusty, Lester, and Ringo are visiting the Big Apple! Coming up, what Lester and Ringo are doing at this time! ;3
