Description This is one of my original characters, Rufus. He is an old hound with one of "dem" attitudes. I wanted to make him more short and squat than most...to add to my design. Hope ya like him.

I'm also thinking to making him some sort of relative to Wylie Burp in the comic I plan on doing soon.

*reads description* I was gonna say to you, "He looks a lot like Wiley Burp!" You hit me right in the nostalgia with your K-9 Agency comic, seeing so many characters who pretty much made my childhood enjoyable!

Heh yep, Wiley Burp inspired me to make Rufus. I thought Wiley had a great design and liked his voice work. I hoped people would like Rufus and K-9 Agency, because those unforgettable characters from our childhood deserve to be seen by people today as well, young or old. I hope to add more pages soon, hope you continue to enjoy it.

Well, count me as one of those people who love K-9 Agency. And you're so right about the need of modern people seeing such characters as those you have featured. Also, consider me your newest watcher, simply because you provoked so much nostalgia with K-9 Agency. I'll be watching you, pal.

THAT WOULD OF BEEN A GREAT IDEA FOR A SPIN OFF CARTOON. Sadly that film is in the past n that will never happen.

Thank you. And well....one I suppose. I'm mostly all self taught. Just from observing life, character designs and the like, I have learned so much. And of course, tons of practice. But it seems to be paying off. I once dreamed of being an animator, but I'm not sure if that will ever happen. So I took up cartooning instead.

Which is why I draw for a hobby now. Only for fun. If I ever get good enough to actually get a job in the profession, then I guess all of this would have really paid off eh? But to tell the truth, I'm fine as is. I'm really majoring into computers in College.(Computer Information Systems) So most likely I'll have a good paying job in that, and draw on the side for fun.

But putting Art as a minor isn't out. I will probably do that, and take more art classes to get better.
