Cat Cousins (Patreon)

More cleaned up ballpoint doodles from work! Featuring Dom’s dumb smarmy laugh, babie Dom with his baby lisp (it’s not uncommon for sabertooth tiger cubs and other large toothed/tusked children to need speech coaching), and Dom and Perry.

Dom and Perry are cousins, but since they’re both only children their dynamic is more like siblings. Perry is the older of the pair, shown here around 15 years old to Dom’s 8 years of age. Perry is normally fairly patient with his little cousin, but not when Dom’s too much of a weenie to ditch Liv’s lame dinner party to go play in the woods. What little kid cares more about staying tidy for supper than poking under rocks to look for slime molds? Urgh.

Dom and Perry’s dynamic changes as they get older, with Dom becoming more antagonistic towards Perry and viewing him as something of a family embarrassment. :/ Still, Dom is kinda the least terrible member of Perry’s family, so Perry is hesitant to cut ties with him even as Dom playfully bullies him over his career and choice in spouse (“Are you seriously gonna marry a pig?). The turns table, however, when Dom finds himself with his own awkward crush on a prey animal, and only one person he can go to for advice….
