Pawsome. I knew Adam could do it

Pawsome, I like that expression.

Your friend look a little afraid ;)

I thought you might. I have been using it for years

Well done story.

Thanks, glad it's easy to follow.

Thanks, the scenery was not easy.

Lol, Adam looks adorable in panel 4

(and no, I have no attraction to men, to anyone else wondering, lol)

And he's looking all sexy toward Chucky in panel 5. x3

So I was not the only one who noticed that!

"OH MURR"

This is furry, you're allowed to find him adorable. ;)

Lol, I guess u have a point

cool view!

Thanks, getting the depth in there was hard.

Thats a lot of colors there too. I betcha you got marker cramp from coloring that last frame.

Great job Chucky..

Combine it with eye-strain and you get one great view.

Barepawed squirrel! This looks so nice, so cute! BTW, I like your comic so far. You have a good sense how to do a comic story.

Thanks Raccoonie, I'm glad it's flowing nicely. Sometimes a story can make sense to the writer, but make no sense to the reader, I'm always a little worried about that.

Happy Squirrel is happy

Looks like that climb really excited him, dont think i seen him smile that much. and his is pretty cute without the hat

I think so too, gotta draw the hat characters without their hat sometimes.

That middle panel with Adam sqatting over the branch and his tail up is the most "squirrel-like" I have ever seen him done. Every now and then one should throw in some referance to the feral species the character is based on, IMHO....

Yep, I agree. That was totally intentional with that panel.

Great minds think alike!!

Adam needs to do a 3 day camping trip

Yeah, see how much of a squirrel he really is.

I've been up to the summit of Mount Washington

It's awesome isn't it? I hiked up the west side about 10 years ago.

I came up there in a car. Unfortunately on the day I went the top half of the hill was completely overcast. And the weather was insane =P

Yeah, it's like that up there a lot. We had a nice day going up, then it was just grey the whole time we were at the top.

I went up there two years ago ^^

I'm reading the comic and I'm thinking...now how the hell is he gonna get down?!

(I'm scared of heights...)

I think Adam pulled his squirrelness out, so he'll be okay for the climb down.

Awesome! XD

Adam got his groove on, and dang what a beautiful scene!

Splendid work Chucky, keep it up.

Thank, glad you're enjoying it!

Of course we can't see Adam. He's wearing camo! Insta-invisible! XD

At least Adam thinks he's invisible.

Aw it is cute seeing him think of how he got his hat!

Yeah, I wanted there to be a story behind the hat since he's wearing it nearly continuously throughout the comic.

I think this same thing happened to me last week when I tried to climb a tree and jump into a river, I got all shaky and freaked out! I eventually did it though.

When you realize you've got no other options, ya just gotta do it.

Man, I haven't climbed a tree in years...
When I was a kid I'd often climb a large pine we had in the backyard. When I visit my parents the yard now looks bare without it... it succumbed to some kind of beetle.

Now, to climb a tree like the one Chucky and Adam are in? I'd definitely need to use gaffs, and I've only gotten to play with those once so I'd still be a little nervous about it.

Definitely dig the backgrounds in this, especially the final panel.

Thanks dude, I was really hoping the depth of the final panel was convincing.

The one thing I wanted to show with Chucky and Adam climbing was that they still have the advantage of very strong claws. So they actually have the advantage of opposable thumbs and claws.

Hey, if you want some advice, I've got a tip that would help with shots like the final panel, there! If you make the things in the background sort of faded and a bit cooler in color, it would both look further away, to really show the depth, and help keep the characters from getting lost in the image.

Thanks for the tip dude. I was a little bummed with how much the characters got lost. In hindsight I probably shouldn't have used one of Photoshop's patterns for the mountains. I actually did blur them, but even then it probably still wasn't enough. Tips are always appreciated, thanks.

I like that Chucky's hair merges with the word bubble in the third panel. Very clever.

Once again, fantastic work on the backgrounds, especially in the last panel.
Something that might help emphasize the characters - you could try giving them heavy shadows and/or highlights to outline them a bit. May or may not work for your style, but it's an idea.

I think you got it just right in the last panel, the two characters are intrinsic to the scenery, but not as important. Space is the key to this kind of picture. Here in the west we put quite a lot of emphasis on the figure as something that competes with the background, where conversely, in the east... you might have seen those quaint scroll paintings of the mountain or something and off in a corner is a tiny figure, almost indistinguishable. You might at first think that the title of the piece is related to the scenery, but it's not, usually in this case the title is something like: A warm cup of tea. Only a westerner would then try to get up close and squint to try and make out the details of the tiny figure and ignore the mountain.

I'm glad you like it. Of course I wasn't considering either of these philosophies when I drew this, I just wanted to capture their environment and mood of the day.
