He never needed that shirt.

My mistake, but I still like the wolf more without it.

Yes, this is dog.

Underrated comment tbh.

mrawr mrawr <3

The hill is a metaphor.
You are literally a metaphor!

Sick reference bro :3

Good to see you back!

LMAO - I love that he uses WOLFSPICE deroderant!!!

Hey Inu x3

BOOOOOO I'm a fan of Right Guard!

fuck yeah, sexy wolf

  Jackaloo i wonder whats he up to

yeaaaaa get strong!

This is pretty much what I've done this year. It helped.

Okay Cooper, you’re working out, you’re feeling better. First you should talk to Chelsea as she was the one you’ve been dating lately. Talk things over make sure you focus on apologizing before you talk like an adult. So no blaming anyone for your actions. Before ending the convo, see what plans she’s got coming up :) after farewells (and good lucks) time to go see Andy and to talk with him. He’s probably gonna be worked up as you’ve walked out on him. If you don’t wanna start a loving relation with him, maybe you can tell him that you want a new start as a friend he needs to get to know.

Yes, I know Cooper is already planned hehe just cuz this is something similar I’ve gone through before, I just wanna feel like I’m talking with him hehe

Changing both physically and mentally.

Judy Hopps: Look inside yourself and recognize that change starts with you. It starts with me. It starts with all of us.

I will do the same, tomorrow:v

Cooper! I was missing him! x//3

"Wolfspice" xD

Ring ring ring, ring ring ring, phone call, phone call!

Omg yes! You're awesome

Would be nice if you put different colour for the two (or more?) talking on the podcast.

When your finances get bad enough you can't afford gym membership. :V

Gyms are very helpful, no doubt, but if you want the change bad enough, you'll find ways in your daily life to work in all sorts of exercises that'll slowly help.

My personal big excuses are:

- I don't have time (bullshit, I only work 33 hrs a week)
- It's raining/snowing/burning out (Yup, that's how Minnesota works. Lung capacity and ability to breathe both increase with exercise, not by complaining)
- My back is sore today, I can't (my back is bad, it's sore every day, and only gonna get worse the longer I put this off!)
- My knee outright hurts today (yup, arthritis will do that, gotta push through it)
- I have homework (now that would just be weird, since I haven't been in school for years, but I actually did the best exercising of my life when I WAS working 30 hour weeks and going to school full-time!)
- I have a ton of errands to do today (so get them started, get them done, and whatever time you have left, use it to improve yourself!)

Huh. I just listed and refuted all of my own excuses. Why do I still not feel like exercising?

Oh, I know why. It's that little bitch called depression.

Yeah, that sucks. It saps a lot of energy. It often feels insurmountable, even with medications. Gotta find just enough motivation to get started, and keep it going for a couple weeks. It'll get easier, and it'll help with the depression, too. It's really fucking difficult, more so than most people know, for many of us. I suppose one way to look at it would be thinking forward to the day we can say, "Holy shit... I pulled myself out of that... and I feel better now!".

I have to get ready for work soon, so not much time... but, and anyone can do this as a really simple start...

I have a therapy band from the rehabilitation place I went to a few years ago. It's super simple—it's just a 5-inch wide strip of rubber they cut with a scissor. That's it. You tie a knot in the middle, put it over the top of a door and close it, and now you have resistance to do some basic arm (and back, and abdominal) exercising with. Can do it for two minutes, or half an hour. Fit it in whenever.

Excuse me...

It's time to change.

...I didn't realize me commenting on COOPER'S situation as a smarmy, sarcastic comment would slap you personally in the face, dude.

My apologies.

You give yourself too much credit. ;)

I wanted to see if I could write something that sounded like that motivational bullshit people love to spew, see if anyone responded to it positively. As far as doing anything and changing goes... I ain't doing shit. xD

I knew you were being sarcastic. It's veiled, but I've known what you're like since I first saw you almost ten years ago.

That said, when were Cooper's finances described as "bad enough"? As far as I knew, he was making plenty, but my memory for those details is crap at best.

JUst keep in mind that Cooper's been though like 2-3 hardship ordeals. Losing Chelsea, his dads death, figuring out his orientations. I mean, this comic spectates on what people can really go though in irl. Eventually Cooper might end up in the military. I think until he recives the proper ingridiants for his motivation, its become clear that he'll want to keep his distance from Andy.

And let me ask you something! What you gonna say those one"s who's are doesnt cared about how they body looks like cause they have other, much important things in their life's as what the society or unknowed people's are thinked about them? Well? I wait for your answer.....

Ring ring
"Our session for today is up Cooper, you're making good progress, I will see you next week" -counselor/psychiatrist

Your inner self is calling, Cooper... And it's telling you that this chapter isn't over until you're back in Andy's bed.

I love what you are referencing and that Cooper is seeking to make himself better actively. The drive to change and grow needs to come from within so that is is both consistent and an aspect of ones own agency.

hmmm

He is so cute 😍😍

Man that's one slow talking podcast, it took them the entire morning just to get through a paragraph but it was worth the wait ;3

i mean. . . . .while you are, for an anthropo, nice to look at...

...you ain't got nothin' to flex, boy






now fletcher, on the other hand.........

I feel like this would have been a corny way to end a chapter and say "How to start a new chapter in your life." Then the chapter ends right there XD

You a fox in space fan by any chance?

I feel concerned for those bloodstains on the ropes

You know what makes Cooper really hot?

Sure, he's hot as hell, physically. But that's only half of it.

What's really made him truly hot, is his desire to change his situation, and him performing the actions to do it. That takes a lot of mental and emotional strength.

Showing that you have that, and sticking with it (as I hope he does), can be the hottest thing a person ever does in their life.

You may have hit bottom, but if you don't want to sit there, you'll find your way back out of the hole. Once you do... you might notice that more people are looking your way, and they're looking at you differently now. Respect, admiration, motivation, even envy, will be written across many of those faces. How good will that feel? You don't have to be over-confident and cocky, you just need to be yourself, the improved version. It's not about what they don't have, it's about what you do have.

Small steps or big leaps, it doesn't matter; just get it started. A fire starts with a spark, and it soon has the power to heat the home.

I can relate with this panel. Working to improve yourself can help to get you into that next chapter.

so Cooper has been in the closet all his life because his father's emotional abuse/ toxic masculinity.

Coop finally begins to come out/ express himself & instantly goes through 'gay panic' .

he then runs away from everyone in his life & immediately does the most stereotypically masculine thing he can do..& work out...

how is this him dealing with his actual problems?

isn't he just falling into the same trap of masculinity that's been making him miserable this whole time?

wanting to change isn't the same thing as changing.

he's just running away from his problems again~

isn't he?

You list masculinity as a bad thing three different times, though masculinity is not itself a bad thing. Sounds like you're scapegoating your problems, bud.

Though it's Cooper's modus operandi to run away, this may very well be his actual turn-around point.

Also, exercise is not a masculine thing, it's a human thing. Don't be sexist. A lot of doctors today will say that exercise is good for reducing symptoms of depression.

I feel like this podcast is a parody of that one furry podcast that gives relationship advice.
I forget what it was called even though I was on it :P

KnotCast

For some reason, I never saw a character like Cooper to be doing something like this.

Did he do so many pull ups that those ropes are bloody?

Aw, he's trying to be a better person!! Hopefully Andy will notice?

Okay... I've definitely got a thing for the way Jackaloo draws arms. <3 <3 <3

Genuinely good advice!

This....it struck something in me. Deep down

There's no thing better than the shirtless wolf))
