*Squeaks and giggles*

Well, here's the next of a series of 1-page comics that I am having done by the wonderfully talented  Jenociide

Please take a moment to head on over to her page there and check out some of her other art, as well as let her know if you enjoy this series. Also, you can download the full-sized version of this picture from her Deviant Art page: http://jenociide.deviantart.com/art.....No-5-114299180

For this one, Rodent is waiting at the bus stop, oblivious to the fact that even though he's outside, his smoking can still bother others. Of course, he always learns such facts the hard way and this time, he causes a coughing fit on a ferret who happens to be lugging a rather heavy crate. With the coughing fit causing him to lose his grip on the crate, the ferret can only watch helplessly as Rodent becomes just another bloody stain on the pavement.

As with all of the previous comics in this series, I really love how this one came out. The close-up in the second frame does a beautiful at capturing how uncaring and oblivious Rodent is to the effects of his smoking on others, and the way the air from the ferret's coughing fit is breaking up the stream of smoke, is simply wonderful. And of course, the final frame with just Rodent's paw and tail sticking out from beneath the crate, is perfect. The way the ferret is looking down with that 'oops' type of expression is equally delightful.

Once again, Jenociide's art style is delightful for these comics and I can't thank her enough for continuing on with this commission series, after the initial run has been completed. There are 4 more scheduled to be done, and I really look forward to seeing how they turn out.
