the_gneechWell, we didn't get to Raiders today, but we will be going to the 7:30 show tomorrow night. Among other things, that means that I had to make sure Wednesday's strip was done tonight -- and it is!
Have I said "Hooray for con bounce!" lately?
On a semi-related note, it's an interesting side-effect of the "different sizes for different species" policy of Suburban Jungle that Brody's relative shortness compared to Dover makes me think of him as a "kid," even though he's not actually that much younger than the average cast member (he's roughly Comfort's age).
Of course, his wide-eyed, eager energy makes him seem young and innocent, which adds to that "kid" feeling. And compared to Leonard, who is looking with serious intent at 40 in the not-too-distant future, Brody is a kid, so I suppose it makes sense.
I actually like Brody quite a bit. I introduced him partially on a whim, but with a particular role in mind for him to play in the story ... it'll be interesting to see if he actually steps into that role, or balks like so many of my characters are prone to doing. But even if he does, he's still good to have around: his high-strung and enthusiastic nature is ready-made for bouncy fun. :)
Ah well, I'm still dragging from the con and need to catch up on sleep, so goodnight, world! Hope you have an awesome tomorrow.

Date: 2005-07-12 12:21 pm (UTC)Those in the wild rarely make it to 12yrs, but those that live in protected parks and zoos, with medical care, sometimes reach the ripe old age of 30, though 15 to 20 is more common. :=3
As far as Leonard is concerned, don't forget that he is an anthro, civilized and has access to great medical help.
So, in the strip's universe a lion could reach the age of a RL human, in the 70+ range. The danger, of a short life span in SJ, does not lie in the infirmites of age, or medical help, for most species, but that of predation.
