Story 5: Guy's Night

[darkwingdork]

When the cat's away...

Just a fun little story about the things the guys discuss when Ally, Sheila and Reece are elsewhere.

This story is being illustrated by guest artist Tecraccoon.

...the mice will belch, scratch themselves, and complain about their women.

[darkwingdork]

Darn it, you just spoiled the whole story! lol

I promise just a little light comedy coming after the drama-splosion of the last arc.

[darkwingdork]

I figured making Spicoli an otter would just be common sense.

[darkwingdork]

This is our first evidence that the guys are capable of self analysis. Yeah, it would be funny to just keep them clueless, but that wouldn't be very realistic....

Heck, the girls don't even seem to have jobs, so you got to ask what they do with all their time...

[darkwingdork]

Finally, this arc reveals it's true purpose...

[Kaotix]

boobies?

[darkwingdork]

Uh... yeah.

[Kaotix]

Enjoyed the arc big time. It's good to see that the guys aren't totally oblivious to their wives' odd habits. They just don't know and couldn't be expected to know what to make of it all yet.

Throw in Reece's flub and I believe they are probably now more certain than ever that there's more going on than the gals are telling.

I just wonder what the guys' response will be. Will they try to maybe keep an eye on the gals, maybe even follow them every once in a while, try to see if there is anything else odd that the girls seem to be doing or hiding, or just let it slide for now.

[darkwingdork]

From this point forward, the guys are going to be a tad more observant of the ladies' activities. It may just be general curiosity at first, but it could grow into something more.

Reece's Freudian slip just confirmed their suspicions. No point pushing the issue now, but there will be more opportunities later.

I'm glad you liked the story. Even though it seems like just a throw away story, and I must admit, the first half was just for fun, it was important to show the guys are not just background characters with no thoughts, interests or motivations outside of being foils for the ladies.

Plus you got to take ego into this. The guys want to be able to protect their wives. But unbeknownst to them, their wives are quite capable of handling themselves. From their purely macho minds, what purpose would they serve in a relationship if they're not needed in that way?

And it shows Peter isn't a total doof like he seemed to be when we first met him.

Peter.... Rabbit.... I just caught that.
So you have a magical bunnie in a magician's outfit and a top hat and a Peter rabbit.

I hate you now.

[darkwingdork]

I didn't really intend for Peter to come off as an idiot when I first introduced him. His bad clothing decisions is just a character quirk, and sometimes things such as that are just exaggerated for comic effect.

Peter Rabbit... yeah. Be grateful I didn't name Ally Flopsy or Mopsy.

The only other "pun" I had with a character name was Sheila's. She's a kangaroo and "Sheila" is Australian slang for a woman.

Personally, I just think female rabbit furries look cool in Top Hats. That it's an obvious magic pun makes it better.

[Kaotix]

The name Mopsy is already taken for a webcomic rabbit. She's a pooka in a a webcomci called Never Never.

Well Ally does pull off the top hat look rather well. Along with the fishnets and the cleavage. <3

I caught Sheila's name pun when I first saw her name and her species.

The most obvious though is Reece's nickname. A vixen nicknamed "Vixy."
