Tourist Trap

It's the fad that's sweeping the nation - Click to Enlarge!

Next week's comic will be a "Sunday", so don't touch that dial!

NOTE: I messed up and accidentally deleted an older post while trying to fix a spelling error in it. I guess I can't undo it or put it back where it was, so I'll just put it here for now.

Misplaced 9-20-13 Post: "Possum Tails Pool Party!"

It's not so hard - just click to enlarge!

I had a lot of fun with this one. This comic made me discover that I had no clue how to draw a Western Painted Turtle, and that Red-Eared Sliders are much prettier (and more green) than Western Painted Turtles. I don't even care a little that I've got some anatomical inaccuracies on Fiona - I love how this comic turned out. I'm especially happy with Rontu's expression. This was one of the few comics where I could sit back and laugh at it after drawing. I guess it's because the humor is in the action instead of the words.

You should look up Red-Eared Sliders. They've got beautiful coloration, and they always have this content little smile on their faces.

Tune in next week for the special Like-Sunday-But-Not-Really edition of Possum Tails!

Fish are Easy to Please

Good good, you click to enlarge, yes?
(EDIT: Larger view HERE.)

I've been itching to get this one made for a while. Ah ha ha ha ha...

I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. Please don't go.

Those fish were definitely the funnest thing I've drawn in Possum Tails for a while. In case anyone's curious, the one on the left is a Sunset Fire Wag Platy, and the one on the right is Lesser Northern Striped Scandinavian Monkeypuncher.

If you bought that, I'm disappointed in you. It's an angelfish.

Next week, perhaps another comic in poor taste? See you then!

Glove Hurts

Click to enlarge. It's for your own good.

I guess that counts as a happy ending.

At some point, I want to start using an actual font in the comic instead of drawing each individual letter. For the normal, non-freakout lettering anyway. It'll add some consistency. I'm going to have to find a font making program that works for me, or suck up my pride and hunt down a font that looks good with the comic. Dunno how long that'll take - odds are I won't make the change anytime soon.

Next week, some non-gastrointestinal humor!

...Maybe.

Taking this Week Off

No comic this week, sorry! I'm going up north for a few days, and I won't be here for Thursday (my usual drawing day) or Friday (my last-minute emergency cramming day). Admittedly, I could've planned out my week better, but there's not a whole lot I can do now aside from stay up all night working on the comic, and I'd rather not do that seeing as how I've just gotten my sleep patterns back on track.

The good news is I already know which one I'll draw for next week, and I have the first-draft sketch done, so see you then.

A Moving Performance

When in doubt, click to enlarge.

Joking aside, GI stasis is a very serious problem in rabbits. But Sammy's gonna be fine, don't worry. I wouldn't kill off any Possum Tails characters. Except Chirpy. Many times.

I realize that this isn't very halloween-y. The holiday's never on my mind anymore, which may be due to the fact that I hardly ever go shopping or watch television. And that I'm old and jaded. So just pretend that Remus in that second panel is screaming at the sight of bats, scarecrows, zombies, hobgoblins, Freddy Kringle, or whatever it is you little punks are afraid of these days.

Next week, the shocking conclusion!

Nature Always Finds a Way

Click to enlarge, all the cool kids are doin' it!

The true joy of owning a bird feeder does not come from the birds. It comes from the game of wits you play against the squirrels.

Another comic coming next Friday, stay tuned.

To Boldly Go Where No Possum Really Should

Picture too small? Like most of life's problems, it can be resolved by clicking to enlarge it!

Broke the usual size format again, but I'm willing to change it up for the sake of the joke.

Hopefully I didn't draw too small - this one really depends on the visual. This isn't a "Sunday" comic, but man it sure felt like it when I was drawing it. Eurgh.

Anyway, hope you enjoy, see you next week!
