Dining in the Land of the Sweets

Clara is having a good time dining with the Nutcracker Prince sitting next to her and his Royal Guards at the ends of the table in the fabled Land of the Sweets. Razortooth is having quite a discussion with the prince and Clara while Rusty starts eating away at that cake.

They are eating on a table made of Peppermint Bark with candy cane legs. The chairs are made of blueberry candy sticks, the snow is powder sugar, the clouds are made of cotton candy, there are lollypops for trees, a hot fudge sundae for a mountain and scattered jellybeans and other candy lying about like rocks and they're all eating a bunch of sugary sweets and having a good time together! 8D

This picture was inspired by the Nutcracker!

Tickle Airlines

Walter and Rusty decided to go on vacation together and took an airline flight to Hawaii. Rusty felt a little crammed into his seat so he decided to place his right paw on the armrest in front of him and between a couple of passengers. Walter thought that this was disturbing and began to tickle Rusty's foot paw after he fell asleep. The tickling woke Rusty up and he tried to move his foot away, but it was stuck there so he burst into crazed laughter which got the attention of the passengers.

I did this for a con book submission.

The Friendly Bear Viking!

Rusty the Grizzly took his pose at displaying his might as a fierce Viking warrior, but instead of this he looks to his audience and waves! Walter can't believe how silly Rusty is sometimes! 8D

The Werewolf and Headless Horseman

 

About 200 years ago Bullard went hunting for food in Sleepy Hollow and was getting ready to have Ichabod Crane for dinner when suddenly the Headless Horseman shows up from behind and unravels Bullard's plan!

The Happy Honey Bear

A truck that has been on route to a major warehouse had suddenly got a flat tire in the middle of Paw Valley. Rusty just happened to be strolling along the area when he noticed the truck just sitting there and the drivers about to call for a service job. Rusty grabbed a case of honey that his powerful sense of smell let him know about and brought the driver along with him to sit and enjoy the sweet food of the bees! I'm sure Rusty will share with the driver after a while! 8D

Tickle Beaver Initiation Party

So Roy thought that it would be a lot of fun to join the Tickle Beavers, a group of beavers who like to go out and tickle others wherever they go just for the fun of it, but getting into this club meant that you had to go through a very ticklish initiation ritual and the beavers make a fun party out of it for the members involved. Yeah, they found Roy to be a lot of fun so he did pass the initiation. Great Job Roy! 8D

The Werewolf and the Tickle Monster!

Bullard the Werewolf recently made a new friend in the neighborhood, Fred, and they decided to start hanging out together. Well, one day Bullard invites Fred over to his house and they watch some TV together. Fred ask Bullard if he would like a foot rub after having just come back from a long evening together and that it would be very relaxing. Bullard reluctantly agrees and hands over his right foot to Fred, and he does rub it nicely for a couple of seconds, but soon he soon turns to tickling causing Bullard to wiggle and giggle! Bullard didn't know that his new friend was actually a Tickle Monster! Wah! HA! HA! HA! 8D

The Angry Hulking Werewolf

Bullard asked Giselle, his witch friend, if she could make a strength formula for him. She did, though she didn't think he needed it considering that werewolves are already much stronger than normal humans. He drank the formula, but was told that it would only work the next time he changed into a werewolf.

Well, one day and in his human form, he witnessed an old lady being robbed as she left the bank and as he was running up to the lady he was shot in the chest for being a witness and trying to help her out. The man didn't die though, he turned into Bullard the humongous angry werewolf. The wound quickly healed and Bullard quickly grabbed the getaway car with the criminal inside of it and took him to justice!

The Ticklish Little Werewolf

There was a time long ago when young Bullard, the werewolf, and his best friend Renaldo, the goblin, went to climb up a tree in the middle of the night for the fun of it. Bullard sat in the tree above Renaldo to look at the night time view over the valley. When Renaldo noticed that Bullard's barefeet dangling just above him he couldn't resist the temptation to grab his ankle and tickle his foot bringing Bullard to crazed laughter! 8D

Wolves in the Land of Liberty

Petre Wolfslavic, who lived for long enough to see disco and microwave ovens, told his great grandchildren this little story. "I was only 7 years old when my family left Czechoslovakia in 1900. Papa and Mama had a hard life working in the factories they told me and they didn't want the same for me. When they got the opportunity we fled the country and then passing through much of Europe until we were able to catch a ship heading west. After weeks of passing over the Atlantic Ocean Papa called out to Mama and me. We saw plenty of towers as we approached New York and soon Papa pointed out to the Statue of Liberty with tears in his eyes. He said, "There she is, the beautiful goddess freedom!" and we knew that we made it to the Land of Opportunity!"

I thought that it would be great to show how that this nation was founded by immigrants and that is what makes America a great melting pot. No one deserves to be here more than anyone else, so I just thought that this would be a good drawing and story for the 4th of July!

Fishing with Dad!

This takes place when Rusty was a child and he was spending the day fishing with his dad, Benny, on Father's Day at Sapphire Lake! 8D

Muni Metro Snail Ride

Hubert, the Muni Metro Snail, is taking you where ever you want to go, but very slowly down the streets of San Francisco without a care in the world and minding his own business slithering from one bus stop to another!

I came up with this while waiting a long time for a MUNI train one day going nuts waiting for it's arrival. Also, I've been on slow moving buses here and experiencing all kinds of crazy behavior from various passengers over time. It's not always so bad, but you never know what's going to happen until you board the MUNI transit and hoping for the best.

I think Hubert makes a great mascot for MUNI! 8D

Ticklish Alligator Pirate Punishment

Since the Tickle Beaver Pirates caught Razortooth the Terrible trying to steal their treasure chest of gold and diamonds, they punished him with tickle torture for fun! They tied his hands and feet to parts of the ship and went wild listening to him roar in laughter while wiggling and squirming about like a fish out of water! 

Of course they eventually let him go free, but not until they are sure he learned his lesson! 8D

Tickle Beaver Pirates and the Unfortunate Gator!

Razortooth the Pirate knew about some gold and diamonds that the Tickle Beavers had on their ship. He knew the beavers always took an afternoon nap and thought that he could sneak on aboard their ship. What he didn't realize that one beaver noticed the nearby ship, he couldn't nap, and told the rest of the beavers that an intruder just climbed onto their ship! They were ready for anyone, they practiced how they would take down intruders and they were great with ropes and lassos! Razortooth managed to get the chest of gold and diamonds, but the beavers quickly pulled his hand off of the chest and captured him! Now the beaver pirates will get ready to give him his ticklish punishment! 8D

Celebration at the Cantina!

Walter and Rusty are having a good time visiting Mexico during Cinco de Mayo. It's been a fun night for them both, but they had a little too much cerveza at the cantina for their own good! 8D

It turns out that Cinco de Mayo is actually a bigger deal for America, especially California, than it is for Mexico, just a minor holiday there. They're actual independence day is in September, but these guys don't actually know that!

The Hulk Tickles the Thing!

The Thing from the Fantastic Four went looking for the Incredible Hulk out in the Arizona desert so he could use Dr. Banner's knowledge  of gamma rays to help Reed Richards locate the Abomination, who is believed to be plotting some major destruction in New York. The Hulk actually found Ben first, who grabbed his legs and started tickling the Things rocky feet! The Hulk is in an unusually silly mood or maybe it's payback for what the Hulk went through when he last visited the headquarters of the Fantastic Four! 8D

Well, this drawing is mainly for the Hulk to get even with the Thing for what happened in this drawing http://walterringtail.deviantart.com/art/Hulk-Tickled-227289047 that I made way back in 2011

St. Patrick's Day Fox Tickle

Vincent Fox thought that he could get away with taking some chocolate coins that were being sold for a charity on St. Patrick's Day in Paw Valley because the guards on watch, Walter and Rusty, had fallen asleep on the job. Luckily for them the squirrel living in the tree happens to have a feather to play with and wasn't about to let a fox steal from the pot of gold so he tickled Vincent's foot causing him to roar in laughter, waking the guardians of the gold and dropping the coins below. Too bad that Vincent found himself in such a ticklish situation! :D

This is a sequel to a drawing I made way back in 2008! 8D

Relaxing by the Palace

While visiting San Francisco again, Rusty and Razortooth decide that the lake by the Palace of Fine Arts is a nice place to take a dip and float around in the water. Them being two animals, a grizzly bear and an alligator, rarely seen outside of their natural environment, or a zoo, they get a lot of attention from those visiting this beautiful park! 8D

The Palace of Fine Arts was built in 1915 for the Panama Pacific World Exposition to celebrate the building of the Panama Canal, which is thousands of miles away, but San Francisco used it to show the world that the city was fully rebuilt and nicely put back together after the great Earthquake of 1906.

Playing at the Beach!

Jay, Glacier, and Walter all went to the beach together and Glacier got buried in the sand. Jay and Walter then started playing beach ball right over Glacier and having quite a fun time. Walter also brought a feather so he could have some more fun after the beach ball game! 8D

Rainy Day Strangers in San Francisco

Rusty is on a trip to San Francisco, where he just bought a scarf at Gump's department store and is carrying Walter along in the bag. He is walking up to his hotel up Powell St with cable cars passing along the way on a rainy day where he hopes not to frighten the people passing along him in the street! 8D
