Instant regret, reeee!

If I find the time to make a second part he will
:)

Churny churny?

Churny churny !

I guess Trico is lucky that dragon apparently isn't the kind that spews fire, otherwise he'd probably be a bonfire by now. Maybe its just a lizard.

ou know if you pin them to the ground quickly enough dragons don't have the time to breath fire. And ones their head is pinned under a claw, they can't do much. You then just have to swallow them starting by the tail and you are fine.
But yes he could have ended up as a fried chicken if he wasn't lucky !

but eventually he would have to let go of the head to make the final swallow, and then I could imagine the dragon releasing a torrent of flame all the way down, pretty much frying his mouth, tongue and esophagus. For all of the 'swallowing a live fire breathing dragon' stories and artwork, I don't think I have ever seen one in which there wouldn't be fatal consequences for the 'dragon eater' unless its mouth was securely tied shut first. Even if the dragon wanted this fate for some reason, it would be too dangerous a risk not to secure its mouth first to make sure it doesn't change its mind during the throes of asphyxiation or digestion. Might be good to clip those sharp talons too as they could do a number on a stomach lining. But a fun strip, like all of your interesting Trico art, though the vomiting up of loose bones instead of proper gastric pellets that would also contain the scales, fur and feathers of the prey does not seem very realistic as there is no parallel in nature . And when Trico gets eaten, I have to wonder if his ears are solid bone, because they seem to be part of the skull? Thanks for sharing your work here for others to enjoy.

You are making quite a lot of good points there.
I must confess that most of them are right and I avoided them because it seems more interesting to watch/easy to draw.
For example if the ear where digested the skull would be quite bland (but that is in no way realistic)
As for the dragon burning crisp his pred from the inside I think I'll try to make an artwork where it happen as it sounds fun.
And for the pellet it is just because I don't think they look that great and because most of the bones would be unrecognizable. But yes a pellet would be the most realistic way to do it.

Well, I think a lot of people would enjoy seeing a dragon flame its way out of a stomach! I don't recall ever seeing it before, but realistically, (that is , if fire breathing dragons were real), all of those pictures and stories with dragons being swallowed would end quite differently. You could actually use the first part of this comic and make a part to with the same dragon deciding he doesn't want to be digest so torch his way out, and may enjoy a big barbecue afterwards

Actually you can often see bones quite nicely in the sides of pellets. Look at some photos of owl pellets. While your regurgitated bones are nicely done, sometimes they look more like your predators had actually swallow, and then vomited, some mounted skeleton exhibits from a museum instead of a living animal because all the bones still seem neatly wired together. Of course, if the stomach acids were strong enough to completely strip the flesh from the bones, it would also dissolve the ligaments, so all of those vertebrae and ribs would be separated. But if an animal cannot dissolve bones, it certainly cannot dissolve fur and feathers either so you should have pellets and not loose bones. In the end though you could have the predator or perhaps some scavenger breaking apart the pellet and scattering the fur and bones in search of jewelry.

Don't worry I'll make two different follows up to this comic, one traditional I have already work on, and one less usual where Trico ends up burned from the inside.
As for the pellet I tried quite a few things but I can't get it to look good (or at least for me) but I'll try showing more leftover of the feathers and fur.
Also if I do more realistic digestion I'll show that there is some meat left sticking some of the bones togethers.
