So I married a cartoon husky.
I have frequently liked to conclude I've basically married a RL cartoon character. Teh hubby looks like a huge lumberjack, is strong as an ox, but freely swaps in cartoon voices as needed (which is normally a Big Guy voice by default), and basically grew up with the same animation tropes I did, so he knows them all too. And he married a furry, so you know where my mind goes with that. It doesn't help that he is an intelligent, well-spoken guy, but he had to grow up in jock circles in school, so he can whip out a himbro voice very easily.
Accordingly,lately I have briefly considered the possibility of doing a sporadic slice of life comic about us, with the hook basically being we look like a normal couple until he spontaneously transforms into a big anthropomorphic husky, and has an appropriate cartoon take, before switching back. Just a little doodle whenever RL inspires something suitable. This would be aimed at the "mainstream", hence a more Looney-Tunes take on toon anatomy, versus...well, my usual.
Buuuut realistically I know this isn't going anywhere, cuz I have zero interest in maintaining a human based comic.
Still, fun to think about?
However, I think the concept works better more like... this!

That sounds great and I want to read it.
But I'd add you should also turn into a fox whenever your reaction is evil or neurotic. ;)

I'm so glad you two are together, and oh my gosh, this comic idea sounds not just like Calvin and Hobbes, but also like Umaru, an anime/manga about a "perfect" high school who, when at home with her older brother, she transforms into a chibi version of herself who's lazy, spoiled, bratty and loves video games and junk food. XD
It's a pity you're not interested in actually pursuing it... but maybe... what if all of the other human characters almost never appear onscreen? So you'd only have to draw yourself and teh hubby as humans... but then again, what would the point be, then? XD
