Vachel’s excitement in panel #2 is totally awesome. Makes me want to hug him.
It’s fun to occasionally write dialogue where the two speakers pay absolutely no attention to each other, until their conversations finally lines up int he last panel.

That sounds so like a mantra, I’m amazed I didn’t exploit it more for humor value: “To disrespect the alpha disrespects all of us.”
This strip illustrates and interesting side of the alligator’s personality. He is an alligator and therefore he is feared. He’s a bit slow, soft hearted, goofy, etc. But since he is feared, others are always nice to him even when he’s being a jerk.

It was fun to think up what would gross someone out regarding a dog. Finding out you’ve drunk water from their dish, I’d have to say, is up there.

That small snowman is awfully cute.
This gag is as old as the hills, but it totally cracks me up to see the last panel.

This is one of those strips you may not quite get if you’re not from colder climates. But that’s kinda what you have to do when your car is stuck in snow, rock it back and forth until it gets up over the lip of the hole it has dug for itself. I have done it MANY times growing up. And yup, some of those times, with the wheels spinning and not getting traction, slush has gotten tossed back on me.
A very quiet play-out of Vachel’s being concerned for Dee and fears that she might be taken away.

It was fun imagining this, that the people would freeze, and be preserved like that until spring for his delight. And at the same time, it was not fun at all imagining this.

The original script for this strip was “you’d be amazed what a sheep would do for twenty dollars.” Which opens up whole new REALMS of interpretation. Despite that being very funny to me, I felt it went against the spirit and humor of the strip. PLUS I find the sheep/knitting/shearing premise on it’s own to still crack me up.
