This was done as a protest on how Brian Michael Bendis has been portraying Rocket Raccoon in the first 3 issues of the newly revived Guardians of the Galaxy comic books by Marvel Comics. Me and many fans didn't understand what was going through Rocket's head lately. Instead of being the nice guy heroic gun slinging raccoon that we all knew from both his creator Bill Mantlo and later from the Guardian's last comic from DnA, Rocket came out as a crazed psychopath. There may be hope that Rocket is already getting better after reading issue #4 of The Guardians of the Galaxy so I'm sticking with the comic for now.
This is a story to go with this drawing:
After it has been found out that Rocket Raccoon has totally lost his mind his friend, and former enemy, Blackjack O'Hare brought Rocket back to his home world, Halfworld, which is used to treat the mentally ill, and cure Rocket of Bendisitis! Both Blackjack, Lylla, and the rest of his friends want to bring Rocket back from his state of insanity. But I do have faith that he will recover!

Rocky Raccoon: Danny Boy, This is a Showdown!
This drawing was inspired by the fact that I love Rocket Raccoon! Rocket Raccoon was created by Bill Mantlo and Keith Griffen in 1976 for Marvel Comics and his inspiration came from the Beetles song "Rocky Raccoon" way back in 1968. I decided to commemorate both of these facts by having the characters from the song played by characters created by Bill Mantlo! The rabbit is Dan played by Blackjack O' Hare, the lovely otter is Megil played by Lylla, and Rocky Raccoon is played by, of course, Rocket Raccoon! You can hear the song here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNRH7_Kd5Yc
