Bast’s Revenge – Pg. 3
Folks asked precisely what Bast was doing at the bottom of the last page – and there is a minorly amusing story about that. The idea was I wanted him to start pawing and kicking the sand backwards… then I learned… drawing paws is really obnoxious. I kinda got away with it here, but trying to get it right just didn’t work, so I went with speedy Barney Rubble legs.
So yeah, he’s doing the motorboat spinning legs ala cartoons – or as Charlie put it so awesomely, “Digging like dachshund down a badger hole.”
This page made me SO happy!!! I especially like the subtle fur-spiking that accompanied the angry ears 🙂
My cat used to play this game with our terrier mutt. He’d whack the dog in the head with his right paw several times in succession. When tshe turned her head to anticpate at the attacking paw, the cat would rear back and bring his left around from way out in the south 40.
“Look over here! Look over here! Look over here! POW!”
The mutt loved it. “AGAIN!”
Amazing how much anger is expressed in so few lines and areas of color. I can almost feel the claws and teeth. 🙂 You rock.
You are aware that Bast is supposed to be a she….?
