omg, I remember seeing this comic in HEAT!

Wow, that's really cool of you to do. I loved this comic, but never had a chance to get the actual magazine. ^_^

The towel is plain - the first time you see it?

Bah, beat me to it. :P

*grins evily* Heh heh.

i realize my comment is 3 years late, but he only has 4 fingers when he is grasping the bottle when he is drinking

lol that's me... always late on stuff

I can't believe I even commented on this - i'm clearly a continuity nazi. :)

haha well he did ask for it!
"There's a flaw on this page, see if you can spot it."

Haha get it "SPOT" it hehe wow...I'm so lame

lol - well done. :P

He's missing the twoel in the first shot?

i think the flaw is that the track and field is in the middle of no where haaa

He only has four fingers while holding his sports bottle in the top right panel.

I just realized that the fifth finger could just be behind the bottle... I'm starting to agree that it's the towel. Also thanks for posting this strip.

no I think you are correct. That would be strange to drink with your pinky hiding randomly

He still has pants on.

Bryant doesn't have black paint under his eyes in the more distant shot.

I agree with  thetimberwolf It's plain in the first shot.

Ah, that's really quite gracious of you, thank you =)

I really liked this comic. It's got a nice set up and the charaters are all cute. I think my only complaint was that it would've been nice for the sex to go an extra page or two, but that's pretty minor. It was still well done.

Are you still working on producing that stand alone graphic novel? I remember hearing about it, or I'm just imagining.

Either way, thanks.

You're fucking kidding me?

never seen this before, but thanks anyways.

Man, I remember seeing this in Heat... it's such a great comic...

yay i wanna see the progress really cool

THE FLAW: In real life, running with your pinky extended is actually fatal.

Seconded.

The only reason I bought Heat3 was this thing!

I'm going to assume the towel and the water bottle were waiting for him at the finish line.

I'll go with the missing pinky on the water bottle. Yes, you physically could fold your finger underneath the bottle, but I can't imagine anyone actually holding a bottle that way.

I love how you do the hands.

i love this comic ^^
well done ^^

I remember this!
for I bought the book.

Do you know anywhere that still sells Heat 3?

I like this idea.
Eventually, everything reaches a point where no more possible profit or reward can be made, and your looked on as a better person for sharing than hording.

wow, i never thought u would do this, thanx ^^

This is a wonderful comic, and I'm happy that you're releasing it.

Also, I'm going to say that the error is in the top-right panel: his left ear is all black, when the angle should show some lighter color on the inside.

the decoration on the towel

I guess I'm one of the lucky few to actually own the comic. c.c;

I love you

Everyone's looking way too hard, but it is in the first panel.

With his right leg on the ground, his left arm should be forward, not his right.

Wait no, I fail, I take that back. :[

Um... uh... *panics* Pinky!

Impressively generous!

Jeez people went for the flaw

I went for the dalmatian spots... <3 all over that body

Oh good, I was hoping to see this again :3 Perfectly executed. The facial expressions and postures make it so easy to read what they're thinking.

i think the flaw is the field goal. uaully field goals have one supporting bar, there are two holding it up. idk just a dumb guess since you havent said anyone's was correct.

*looks onto next page*

I love this comic! This is the reason I bought Heat 3. I hope to draw as good as you one day.

Awww, those expressions are killer sweet!

I would have bought a copy if I could have. I borrowed my friend's copy before he moved. n_n Glad to be able to have a copy of the genuine article without having to resort to shady methods.

I bought one! It's easier than having to hunt down torrents. ;)

Well, yeah the towel, whatever. But um... ive never seen field goal posts with two legs :3

:D thank you so much for posting this! i'm seriously loving this comic.

The wolf is missing a hand in the box where the dalmation is waving.

Correct!

^_^. <3 Zaush's art.

I noticed that at second glance

What Jorem said.
The last couple panels expressions are great, but sad. :/

I bought a copy of the book, too. It's not exactly difficult to buy one.

Love the original pages, though, thanks for putting these up.

well you guys are also forgetting that in the second picture of the husky his ear fluff is missing on the right ear.

the towel thing would be easy. the pattern is behind him at first then it changes to infront of him.

eeee! thankyouthankyouthankyouu!

no stripes on the towel and only 3 fingers

Love the expressions. They already navigate the direction of where this story is going.

Thanks for sharing, Zaush. I need to read the rest of this. :)

This comic ultimately introduced me to the furry fandom.. At the time, I knew furry existed, but not much about it. It was posted on the LJ community space_ghetto, and viola, I'm a furry!

I think this is a sweet idea. I never got to get those comics and your art is very well drawn and a pleasure to see. This gives me a chance to joy some of your best work with out missing out.

Very nice comic, very sweet! Th' shading's all nice, and very pleasant to look at.

I bought heat 3 magazine this year. Your comic was my favourite part ^^ awesome Zaush

This is quite possibly my favorite comic ever. Awesome work on it.

Consider this fav for the whole thing :)

It still sucks that ungrateful fucks pirate in the first place. But that won't be fixed anytime soon anyway so, thanks for sharing! Neoneon was right anyway.
Your work is, as always, absolutely wonderful!

WOOOO I love this comic :D

I love this comic, its one of my favorites. very nice job on it! ^.^

i really love this comic... i glad to see it again !!

did heat 3 go out of print?

Nope! But I'm willing to bet it's reached its saturation point for the most part.

I just bought Heat 3 about 6 months ago, but I can't remember where. GAH!!!! poor short-term memory sucks!

My Thanks to you, I enjoyed this comic very much. It does feel as if it ended about two pages too soon.. or alternately about 35 pages too soon, depending on where it was going ^^ do you have any plans of extending this and printing it as a stand alone?

Nope, no plans to do that. At best I would take this script I have for the followup and actually make the book I want to with it.

*nods* Best of luck with that ^^

I have mixed fellings about this getting posted. I'm glad I can finally get the whole thing for free, but it sucks that pirating is so bad that you had to put it up.

Art theves = douchebags.

Hi. I've read this and I have to say that I like this comic. Your drawing is awesome and the storyling is pretty good. Are there other comics/stories that were formed before this? I would like to see how this relationship was formed. And could there be more? I would like to see more. :D

i think the football player is sooooo cute

I'm glad I own a copy of the magazine, would have sucked to wait three years for this fun comic.

I love your comic =D

FUCK! I just had enough money to buy heat 3 too!!

Where's pageee 2?

Enable mature art to see it.

Oh okie! Stupid me. Sorry

I liked the story alot when I saw it in Heat, good stuff :3

nice tight pants :P such an awesomely drawn comic Zaush :3

Woow, how cool ^.^

Finaly found someone doing comics *hugs you tight*
I love the style and the story and as ZEN said, his tight pants too :3

Nicely done for a comic page, despite the flaw.

That dalmatian got pwned.. Sorry I had to, xD

oh man i love his comic must find more >.> lol

waaa I looovee this comic 83

I've the original comic and i LOVE it ^^

Well, when I get in a better position financially, I'll be sure to pick up a copy of Heat. Thank you for sharing.

Love the art in this one

for some reason I can imagine an invisible question mark over Owen's head in the last panel.

I love the comic and I'm going to buy a copy of it at the next con I go to.

Nice comic I faved it all You are a great artist and Writer keep it up!!!

I read this comic some days ago, and I loved it
Your history is great, even on 10 pages, your figures are very cute
I would love having them again in another history
(maybe in Heat vol 6 ? )
only to thank you because I crossed a good instant by reading your comic
I hope to see again Bryant and the others in one of your intendeds other writings
thank you still for your history, it liked a lot me

good continuance for your other plans !

OMFG!!!!! O.O so your the creator of this comic? i have been looking for thie actual print of this comic or at least the artist for over a year! and here i find you, lounging on fa!!!! i have one question. is there anyway i can view the first two comics before this one?

Wait... there's two comics before this one?

i meant in the heat book that it came form.

Ohhh, this is from HEAT 3, which contains a lot of other people's works, and the stories and comics in it are completely unrelated to each other.

ahhhh....damn.....i like this story too.....

Don't worry, there's a 60+ page graphic novel script in my possession that continues this plot line and characters. Hopefully it can get some much needed attention!

oooo.....can i reads it?

And spoil the story?

XP well i won't tell if you don't

poor Owen, what did you do to his hand.

I will have to look into this mystery.

aww he's looking sooooo sad.did they had a fight or something?

I love this heaps. this and motion of the ocean.
the dalmation is hot and cute.

Nice pose in the upper left. I use running shorts just like those; They're the poly-thread shorts from Asics.

No fluff in the other eeeaaar

Actually, Bryant's missing a hand in one of the panels.

I got hungry.

I only now finally got the comic at EF15. ^.^

OMG! I love this comic! it was my first furry smut! LOL

I know how that is :/

the image is all black o3o

lol um the dalmation is missing a finger in the second panal? x3

Have a look at bryant's hand(s).

He appears to be missing a hand

Dingdingdingdingdingdindgklasmflkaglkaf

lol YAYZ!

=^.^= i loved this little comic when i first saw it awhile back i think it was the first thing i saw of real furry art your something else when it comes to art i cant do anything this good or even close

:D Yaaaay XD it's back!!! Thankies Zaush :)

Flaw: the lack of the two gray horizontal stripes on the towel in the first panel that shows the towel.

Also it's nice to see more furry comic artists out there. You do good work, and it's especially nice to see the story has a reason to it other than sex. :) I've read this whole comic and I love the clear romance in it.

hmmm.. so tight.. yeahh.. like that.

Isn't it that in the top right panel, he only has three fingers and not four?

By the way, amazing comic!

Bottom right panel, Always makes me sad.

I also noticed the missing fur effect on the left ear of bryant on his face closeup, but great comic after all <3

Hmm. i've never heard of this "HEAT 3" before. what is it and where can i get it? Anything to do with furries or zaush is good by me!

How weird is it knowing that this posted 5 years ago? Does it feel that long, and are you still attached to the characters like you were then? (just something that has resinated in my mind for a while)

It actually feels even longer. As for the characters, I'm very familiar with ther personalities and motives to this day, though the grander arc couldn't be realized.

Zaush why huskies neck look like he be strangled by wire and not have white collar on football uniform?

Lots of fluff for the choker to hide under! Not sure what you mean about white collar though...

Dead link!

That's good. Someone had traced images off this page and claimed them as their own.

Wow I almost forgot this existed. Talk about a trip down memory lane. This was one of my first furry comics I ever read.
