The sheepdog cameraman is actually the 5th background character I mentioned in the last post, so he will be appearing in the strip.
The ladies are a Wiemaraner and a Boykin Spaniel, based on a reader's pets. She asked for spaniel to appear younger than the other, and I probably went a little too drastic with that. Oops?

Finally, I had a request for a leopard. When I grabbed a source image, I was amused at how apathetic the kitty looked and that ended up defining this character.
I've quite enjoyed designing all these new characters, and I may keep up with the fan requests even though I don't have a background character scheduled to appear in the strip for quite a while. I like the fun drawing challenge!

:-) The spaniel looks like Suzette before she became >SUZETTE<. :-)
The other doggie shows a very interesting peronality.
The black kitty looks like he has Jacob's personality. Is he actually -good- at the sports though? ;-)
Leopard Dude is kewl. I like the way his tail wraps around. Looks like he works out with Joseph too.
"The Sycophant" What would "The Sycophont" look like..? ("Psychophont?")
