In the wake of this recent series of wacky wet weather (not just in the USA, but around the world), I thought I'd present a piece of 'cover art' I'd drawn over a decade ago, which paralleled another meteorological disaster; namely, the great Texas floods of 1998 (spawned by 'El Nino').

Back in the 1990s, while contributing my 'furry art' to "Rowrbrazzle", I was invited to join a smaller, digest-sized APAzine, that's published in the Dallas area. "The Dallas Brawl Update" (or "DBU" for short) was way ahead of many Internet sites at the time, in that many of its characters (created by various anthroartists) would interact with one another through stories and artwork. (I, myself, drew a series of gags involving 'Bloat Cola' - that highly-carbonated concoction - having "DBU" cast members trying the stuff, only to get inflated in one way or another.) Some of the contributors (besides myself) are "Fur Affinity" members (such as MelWhite, mistypine01, et al)...

This 'cover art' I'd drawn in March, 1998 shows the diversity of the "DBU" cast - which includes dragons, giraffes, male kangaroos (with pouches), bizarre aliens, etc. I was able to squeeze in a few gags for nearly every character in this one-panel image, which covered the (then) flooding of portions of eastern Texas. Seeing it in digest-size (half of an 8 1/2"x11" sheet of paper) doesn't do this image justice, unless you saw it in a larger size... Enjoy (and stay dry)!
