Bobo, the toy Pomeranian who appears in episodes 2 and 4, is actually based on my friend’s real-life dog Coco. Coco is incredibly sweet and a tad manic, which is why, one Christmas, I drew my friend a comic revealing Coco’s dark inner thoughts (image 6).
Coco's appearance would later feature in Hand Jumper as Bobo, Jaeil’s demonic dog. Bobo’s name is simply a result of combining Coco’s name with ‘Boba,’ a second toy Pomeranian owned by another friend of mine. In another life, Bobo was probably the main antagonist.
