Clara and the Dancing Bear

This shows Clara from the Nutcracker having a good time with the dancing bear that her Uncle Drosselmeyer gave her a teddy bear that came to life and danced for her!

Of course that's my bear Rusty playing the part of the dancing bear and I dressed him up better than how the bear is usually shown as looking a bit too much like a clown for my taste so I put him in a Russian guard uniform. 8D

Alaskan Smooch!

After Roland gives Sam the fright of his life he picks him up and gives him a big wet smooch as he can sense that Sam is not out there to cause harm. Too bad Sam, and his faithful dog Lassen,  thinks that he is about to be eaten by a huge polar bear. Roland just wants to show him some love! 8D

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

Alaskan Rush!

Sam Mc Ford was a cook in Seattle who lost interest in his mediocre job. Upon hearing from his brother, Ben, that he found gold in the Snake River near Nome, Alaska, Sam headed north to strike it rich and give up his tiring job as a cook. Sam went to the secret location that Ben revealed to him and lo and behold he found plenty of gold just inches underneath the edge of the river. However, Sam doesn't know that just behind him a huge polar beat snuck up behind him, Roland, to jokingly scare the wits out of him, while hoping that Sam's faithful husky, Lassen, doesn't give him away early! 8D

I came up with this idea while listening to the song "North to Alaska" by Johnny Horton and although this picture is pretty different than the song, it was certainly inspired by it. I wanted to come up with a group of 3 that would all come together and soon become friends in 1890's Alaska, just a bit before the Nome Gold Rush.

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

This Land is Your Land

After I made my 4th of July drawing, only a little more than a month and a half from this post, I recorded many patriotic songs on to my phone from Rhapsody and my favorite was "This Land is Your Land" by Woody Guthrie. 

I just love the song because it describes America in a beautiful way, it includes redwood forest, diamond deserts, fog lifting, and it is just so fun and inclusive. It's what America is supposed to be!

So in honor of this song, I decided to make a drawing about and how my bear, Rusty, is describing all of this to his friends. It's just a cute symbolic picture that describes some of the best physical elements of America.

It goes like this:

This land is your land, This land is my land,
From California to the New York island;
From the red wood forest to the Gulf Stream waters;
This land was made for you and Me.

As I went a-walking that ribbon of highway
I saw above me that endless skyway
I saw below me that golden valley
This land was made for you and me.

I roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts;
All around me a voice was a-sounding;
This land was made for you and me.

Ticklish Dingo Buried at the Beach

After a day surfing at the beach Ringo's Uncle Fang asked his girlfriend, Elizabeth, and best friend, Razortooth, who came along with him, to bury him in sand. Fang only asked that they bury him as deep as they like and to leave his head and feet out. They did have a lot of fun burying him in the sand and Razortooth even added a nice sand castle on top for decoration. Uncle Fang began wiggling his feet around and whistling in the air. When Elizabeth notice this she began tickling his feet sending Uncle Fang into hysterics as he laughed like he hadn't so much since he was a pup, though he kind of expected this, though it drove him crazy with laughter and plenty of squirming, he had no idea that Razortooth was planning on dropping an earthworm in his ear! 8D

The Grizzly Bear and the Super Soldier!

Captain America went looking into the woods in a valley in California's Sierra Nevada Mountain Range to based on recent government intelligence that the Red Skull had a secret underground camp in the area. Rusty sees that a strange looking man was walking through the woods of Paw Valley thinking the oddly dressed man was up to no good. Captain America seen that the big grizzly bear was coming up to him quickly and prepared himself for a fight!

I often wondered how Captain America would stand up to an adult grizzly bear, given that he has the super soldier running in his blood making him the perfect human physical speciment. This is part one of a two part drawing and it's something I did for fun putting Rusty and Captain America together to have it out toe to toe! 8D

Bumbling Tarzans

Guster and Jeff go out in the woods and by a beautiful lake and notice the trees in the area have these long vines coming from them and get the idea in their heads to swing around like Tarzan! So they both go up some trees and Guster takes off his shirt to feel a bit more like Tarzan and he even comes closer after losing his right shoe during his first swing and Jeff is so heavy that the vine that he is swinging on snaps shortly afterward! 8D

This was a fun drawing and I really love the characters here that you can find in :iconkrudetoons:

The Ticklish Hulk and the Playful Octopus!

A huge glowing meteor crashed into the middle of the Pacific Ocean, 200 miles south of Hawaii, and a bunch of scientist felt they needed to check it out because it was giving reading of intense exposure to gamma radiation. Among the scientist invited was Dr. Robert Bruce Banner, the leading expert on gamma radiation. When the ship got close to the site of the under sea meteor the ship started swaying. The crew looked over the side of the ship and noticed huge red tentacles swaying the ship. Well, the longer they stayed at the site the more the ship swayed and this put all those abord in a panic, including Dr. Banner himself which cause his adrenaline rush that cause him to change into is huge, green alter ego, The Incredible Hulk.

The Hulk immediately, dived into the ocean below with a thunderous splash! Just below the water there was noticable and intense movement then the giant octopus' huge tentacles rose above the water with the Hulk completely bound by them. As the Hulk began to struggle to get free from the powerful beast the other tentacles started moving along his exposed arm pits and his belly causing the usually angry beast to grin, but like he was trying to hold something back. Soon two other tentacles moved up and down along the soles of his barefeet and the Hulk finally broke into a roaring laughter! For several minutes the Hulk struggled, squirmed, and laughed intensely and there was quite an audience about the ship to witness this humorous event. Eventually, the octopus released the Hulk, who decided that the sea monster was only looking for a bit of fun and the Hulk had quite a laugh out of it himself! 8D

Blackjack in a Ticklish Situation!

It turns out that Blackjack O'Hare managed to find one of the Infinity Stones and decided that he could make a lot of money by selling it to either the Collector or Thanos. Rocket heard Blackjack talking about it in a bar in an orbiting space station. Rocket was with his girlfriend Lylla at the time and he questioned Blackjack if he had the stone on him and he told them that he didn't and that it was hidden. When Rocket asked, while pointing a gun, Blackjack where the stone was hidden he refused to tell them while claiming that even the threat of death wouldn't be enough to get the location of the stone away. Blackjack then pulled out his own guns, but Lylla jumped Blackjack from behind and they both grabbed blackjack and took him on a spaceship that they were using at the time that even came with titanium stocks so they could handle anyone that gave them problems. Rocket though that a bit of pain would get Blackjack to reveal the location of the infinity stone. Lylla thought that would be too harsh and unnecessary, she knew of Blackjack's biggest weakness and told Rocket that she would like to try that first. Blackjack had no idea what was about to happen to him "Whatever you guys try is going to fail, you'd better off just letting me go. You can't get it out of me!" Rocket shot back at Blackjack "Oh, well get it out of you, we have a plan!" 

Rocket and Lylla both approached Blackjack's bound and exposed feet. "What are you going to do?" said Blackjack confidently. "Are you going to beat the information out of me? I'm sure your Lylla wouldn't allow it, she has morals don't you know?" Rocket looked at Blackjack and grinned "It wont be necessary to cause you pain, I know your secret!" Blackjack rolled his eyes "Yeah right, you have no idea where the stone is. That reverse psychology wont work on me, I'll never tell!" Rocket looked at Blackjack and grinned "That's not the secret that I meant." Rocket pulled out a yellow feather "I heard from Lylla that you are ticklish. Now are you ready to talk?" 

Blackjack gulped and started quivering "Heh, that ain't gonna work." he said nervously. "You're wasting your time, just let me go!" Blackjack started pulling and tugging at his hand restraints and his feet sticking out of the stocks, while even his big toes were tied to keep his feet from escaping the coming torture. "This is going to be fun!" stated Rocket as he began moving the feather along the sole of Blackjack's right bare foot. Blackjack wiggled and squirmed while moving his head back and forth. A grin soon appeared on the dark bunny's face as he was trying to hold it all in, but then he burst into crazed laughter! "Wah! HA! HA!HA!HA! HA! HA! STOP!" Rocket grinned at Blackjack's humorous torture "I will, if you tell me the location of the stone." "NEVER! HA! HA! HA! HA! PLEASE STOP! HA! HA! HA! HA! I WONT TE! HE! HA! HA! HA! TELL YOU! HA! HA! HA! HA!" Lylla thought the site of the situation was so humorous that she couldn't resist joining in the fun and began tickling Blackjack's left foot with her finger. "HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! PL PLEASE, HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! You! YOU GUYS ARE DRIVING ME CRAZY! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!" Rocket smiled sinisterly "That's the whole idea, my friend!

This continued for several minutes as Blackjack had to consider what he wanted more, the money that he would get if he sold the stone or the endless tickling that he would have to endure if he didn't tell them. He knew they wouldn't actually free him if he kept the location of the stone a secret anyway. So, after several minutes of putting up with a torture that he could no longer tolerate, he gave in. Rocket and Lylla got the infinity stone and kept it from falling into the wrong hands while after Blackjack had the biggest laugh of his life! 8D
