Critter Nick falls victim to one of the classic cartoon tropes, the "character falls through the clotheslines and ends up in an embarrassing outfit as a result" gag.

This one was suggested by a friend, who says this is one of the lesser-used cartoon gags/tropes in furry art. I can see it, it's hard to really do this sort of thing justice without a full animation or at least a sequence with several panels, but messing with these sort of old-school cartoon scenarios is kinda fun.

Raccoons may be the closest thing we have to real-life cartoons. I find their shenanigans endlessly amusing.
A further bit of character development I have been considering for Nick Domnall is giving him electricity-based powers--which he would likely get by a mishap with an exposed power line or something while trying to make use of his critter form to get free snacks or something! Get zapped, get launched across the street, but instead of getting fried he gets electrokinetic powers!
Of course, being a fat nerd when he's not in his critter form, the first thing he'll probably do with his newfound powers is accidentally fry his computer... because he's also cursed with terrible luck on top of raccoon transformation powers and poor eyesight.

*The yanking of the clothesline provides a bit of bounce for the newly-dressed "baby", his struggling to escape being replaced by struggling to keep his glasses from falling off his face*
I have definitely considered him getting into some scenarios like that, the cartoon trope of the critter being treated like a baby by a child. The 1942 Tom and Jerry short "Baby Puss" (aka the reason there are babyfurs, apparently) and any Tiny Toons short featuring Elmira come to mind as examples...

True, although raccoons are surprisingly impact-resistant. Must be just how squishy they are.
Of course, all that squish and pudge (and general mischievous ways) makes them very similar to toddlers--and luckily, he's got some mittens on to keep his little hands out of trouble!
Also, unrelated, good to see you around again, it's been a while.

Squishy, swift and nimble. Sometimes a little too swift though, ending up in trouble. I do think those mittens will come in handy to keep him out of trouble for the moment, but not so handy for him to get those embarrassing clothes off him. XD
And yes, I guess I haven’t commented for a long time. I still do check daily on new uploads, both from you and other artists I follow, but I don’t comment much. Your artstyle and themes is still a joy to me. I’ll try to comment a little more often with you, since I know you’re also fun to talk with and discuss both character- and world-lore.

Whenever the subject of raccoon durability comes up, I am always reminded of this.

While not the most dramatic example, it's definitely one of the funniest.

Whenever I want to play more seriously with Nick, his raccoon abilities make him amazing for stealth and infiltration stuff, and even if he does get spotted, he's just a raccoon so there's rarely any sort of actual alarm raised.
Of course, this situation is anything but serious, and we all know he's going to be doomed to spend some time with my universe's equivalent of Elmira or some similarly embarrassing fate. Wonder if he'll be able to raccoon his way out of a high chair?
A few other unfortunate ideas came to mind when I was drawing this one... For one, Nick Domnall is actually a demihuman that transforms into a critter raccoon--he could possibly save himself from this predicament, but in doing so, he'd be a naked nerdy twenty-something man running around (or he'd have to quickly gather up any sort of clothes that might fit him, meaning he might end up crossdressing or be forced to fashion himself a diaper out of a bedsheet or something anyways!)... and he might just be too high up to escape uninjured if he were in his larger human form anyways, so he's just sorta gotta sit there and take it.
Then there's the fact that every movement would be making those clotheslines move, so if he squirms, he's gonna be treated to bouncing and probably a bit of a diaper wedgie. And if that diaper has been put out on the clothesline to dry, it's been recently washed, meaning that while it's clean it may still be damp from the wash...
At least his glasses are magically bound to him well enough to keep them from falling off during his transformations and resulting shenanigans, even if none of his other clothing is!
Glad to see I'm still drawing things you enjoy! I'd be happy to discuss characters and ideas and world-building stuff with you. I do appreciate when this sort of thing, while definitely a silly scenario (and of course a thinly-veiled fetish scenario). actually starts some serious discussion about the character, the world, and what sort of story this might be a part of.
