Hopper's Hideout Tickle

Hopper the Easter Bunny has been hiding plenty of carrots from his friends in Spring Valley and his best friend, Norton, noticed him occasionally seem to disappear in the distance after having a quick look around. Well, one day Norton noticed Hopper's feet sticking out of the ground, but unable to disappear! Hopper was stuck there after eating too many carrots! Norton planned on helping his best buddy out, but first he wanted to know what Hopper was hiding from him all of this time. Hopper is trying the best he can to hide his valuable secret, even under this intensely ticklish situation!

This drawing was inspired by the Hoppy's Hideout chocolate easter bunny that has been coming out the last few years as he takes a dive into his rabbit hole and to his hidden treasure of carrots!

Dancing with the Captain

Captain James Rollick is entertaining his passengers by dancing with Gretchen, a professional Gypsy dancer, on the Sea Wolf. The music is played by Fred, with the guitar, and Barkley, with the accordion, with the San Francisco skyline in the distance.

Frolic Time!

Patch Packrat and Zarafa Giraffe are dancing the night away while NeonBunny is the DJ playing the music for all furries attending tonight's Frolic!

I thought of doing something for Frolic, created and run by NeonBunny, for some time. It's a fun, and the best, furry nightclub event there is! It takes place at the SF Eagle every first Saturday, unless otherwise stated. Anyway, if you ever come to San Francisco during this time, be sure to come in and party hearty! Must be 21 or older to attend, it includes a bar.

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!

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.

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

Rusty's Wild Ride

Santa wasn't feeling good so he went looking for someone who could take his place on Christmas Eve and went to Paw Valley and recruited Rusty to deliver his gifts to the world's children. Then Rusty recruited his best friend, Walter, and Razortooth to help him with the incredible task that lies ahead of him. After Rusty left the ground, despite having the strength of a huge grizzly bear, he found out how tough it was to drive a sleigh being pulled by magic reindeer moving at the speed of light!
