Must Love Frogs

You Can't Stop The Beat

Ever since this whole world began, a froggy found out if she shook it she could shake up a manTIS...

I feel like Nikki Blonsky would be a great VA for Agnes!  Have her people call my people!  (Spoilers: my people is just me talking to myself)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgDv3MAM6v0

Damn, Mantiski!  Whatever conditioner you're using lately, stock up!

Sketch: You Can't Stop The Beat

Mantiski and Agnes get into some retro-wear and let the music take over!  Who says bugs can't dance and frogs can't prance?

Someone To Hold You Too Close

Today is Bi Visibility Day, so let's enjoy more Mayor Lucky Lightfoot and her slow-burn true love, Trissie Willoughby!  And Piggy Sue too, of course!

On the heels of my Pony Trissie x Derpy JG ship, behold my super self-indulgent romance between two genuinely nice people who just need the right confession-inducing rainstorm to allow a mutual plummet into each other's arms.  This rare zero-ego public servant, chivalrous and overworked, has been struggling to bury her feelings f...

Can't Scare The Hare Mayor

If you think the mayor won't make time in her busy schedule to do fun Halloween family stuff with her duckling when they come visit from college, you don't know Lucky Lightfoot of Bradydale.  Dillion always had a close relationship with their mom, and the two wouldn't miss the chance to carve pumpkins together.

This makes me so happy, I might do some more similar pics if I don't run out of spooky season.

High School Theatre

How did everyone's favorite wholesome horse x rhino couple first meet?  They go way back--back to high school! 

Riley and her surly sloth companion Itzel were both stereotyped as nerds and homosexual freaks, but Riley had a natural confidence that allowed her to find acceptance and popularity via the theatre club.  Always too big and fat to play the female lead (regardless of a girl's talent, that do be how it goes), Riley invariably slayed as the villain, and audiences l...

Tell Me On A Sunday

I never knew!  I had to hear it from Boots!

So you've likely gleaned this, but since people have asked, I'm taking an extended vacation from the Junior Gala comic.  I will still draw ponies sometimes, as it amuses me to do so, but I'll mostly be drawing my own content.  I was unimpressed with the direction of MLP:FIM in the last season or two, and that caused me to seriously lose interest.  I guess I didn't hate it, but it was (in my opinion) really boring, and that'...

The Long Way Home

Itzel's come quite a ways in the tolerating children department.  Then again, who could stay mad at Rudy?

Yeah, she calls him Rude-Boy.  Affectionately!

A song for Itzel...I mean her /cat/... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kjMciBgpk4

A Painful Breakthrough

Sorry this one isn't funny.  We had some things we needed to get off our chests.

The bee of whom Kittiwake speaks is, of course, Honi Melrose the therapist.  This pig, bird and cat are long overdue for a lie-down on a couch built for three.

It's Spinny's World, We Just Live Here

I balk at attempting to rewrite human history for my animal people world, but to an extent I have to do so, simply because an animal people world with countless sapient species would operate somewhat differently from ours.  So when I have to fuck with history, I at least set out to have a little fun with it.

Spinny Spider is the most enduring and popular cartoon character in WwF--ever.  She is neither a person nor an /animal/, but something in between: a toon.  She would ...

One Fish Lake

My dear old buddies, Brak and Zorak (and Hippo).  Many a Cartoon Network hour would be wiled away by my friends and me in the 90s and early 00s, enjoying the hijinks of this derpy space alien and his favorite acerbic mantis (Tad "Space Ghost" Ghostal, not shown, was often there too).  And yes, I would be remiss if I didn't affirm that Zorak had some influence on my mantis identity.  He's green, he's olive, he's chartreuse.  He'd like to stay one color, but what's the use?<...

Bird And Shark Kisses

Do the birdfolk of WwF kiss?  They can, but it's awkward.  Birds are much more comfortable preening the manes (or feathers, or antennae, etc) of their loved ones with their beaks.  Now how about sharkfolk?  Sharks show affection by harmlessly nibbling the ones they love.  They know what they are doing and they aren't out to break skin or spread pain, but the experience can be...somewhat jarring.  If you're willing to let those many, many serrated chompers near yo...

Weird, Queer'd And Lacking A Beard

(Sorry, had to reupload this one due to technical difficulties)

So many pig characters at my disposal, and not one mention of the hairs (or lack thereof) on our chinny chin chins.  WHY YOU SLEEPIN ON PIG BEARDS, KAE

Pretty sure this pic counts as fluff.  Lol.

We Don't Talk About Mira

Oh yes we do!  And we're better for it!

And just like that Cass busts through Itzel's tough and rugged shell like a wooden mallet at the /Crab/ Shack.

When We Fly (c)Kae

EDIT: I changed Cass's response very slightly, as to better make her point.  I hope it works now.

Retrospect: Let's Not Do This Anymore

Let me start with a story about one time when I actually made a decent decision.  When I was in my 20s I was casually involved in the Sailor Moon fandom (don't act so surprised).  I was young, queer and Haruka (Uranus) and Michiru (Neptune) were everything.  When people online would badmouth them--or worse--break them up--OR WAY WORSE--straighten them out, I would become apoplectic with rage.  Those were OUR out queer Senshi and they were all we had, and they meant so much...

Fox Is A'Rockin, Don't Bother Knockin

Vixen Grin provides the vocals anytime CRUSHED ICE takes the stage.  We're pretty sure she's actually a magical kitsune because she can rock harder, longer and louder than any of these pups-come-lately.  And she can wear a sparkly top hat without irony, just like the fancy gentleman she is. 

Also I don't know if Ms. Kero-Chan is any sort of reliable narrator.  I mean, sea moss gel?  Pretty extreme.

A Bird And Fish May Fall In Love

But where would they live?  St. Charlies, of course!  Have some more characters from the machinations of Liz!

Mavis Korcoran prefers to go by "Kore" (rhymes with lore).  She hails from a family of crowfolk from out of town who run a wholesale shipping company.  Kore is the recipient of casual disdain from her family, as she's a colormorph, and many birds aren't into that (plumage has so much to say about an individual's identity, social standing in the flock, etc). &...

More Wicked Witchery Than Stevie Nicks

There's a prompt on DA to draw a cute witch standing there looking cute and cute-like, so this will be expedited to my public pages.

Anyway FROGTOBER APPROACHES SWIFTLY, MY DOLLS, DUDES AND ENBY DARLINGS!  Grab your creepy yet ironically lovable familiar and try to convince yourself that you enjoy candy corn!  It helps not to chew it.  Just swallow it whole, like a vitamin.  There you go!  SPOOPY!  

Good Job Valerie

You tried your best.  Well, not really.

A Charming Family

Posting more of Liz's contributions to WwF: a pair of lovely moms and their "little" girl!  The kid is a completely new creation of Liz's, but if you've been with me for a long (LONG) time, you might recognize the parents from our Tange and Lex stories.  Let's delve!

Mara Wylder is a handsome and confident cheetah lady who works with Itzel, Valerie, and so many others at the St. Charlies claims office of Tooth And Claw Insurance.  After working through high school at the ...

Renata Sous La Mer

Why settle for two ferocious water deer sisters when you could bask in the oppressive light of all three?  As per the last two, this is Liz's show, and I'm your master of ceremonies. 

Renata Sous La Mer is the middle sister.  She is an artist.  She constructed and painted all the costumes in the show.  She maintains them constantly.  She likes the smell of paint.  She is the strongest and most imposing of the sisters.  She has a juvie record. &nbs...

Ariadne Sous La Mer

I don't usually like to spam the Patreon, but how can you have one Sous La Mer without the other three?  And so I return and Liz returns with me, as the sisters are her creation.  I helped!

The eldest of the Sous La Mer siblings, it was Ariadne's task to keep the other two safe and protected from their mother's usually-drunk-or-high asshole friends.  Ariadne learned very quickly to be wary, cunning, and to hotwire a getaway car.  Her mind is always churning (despite ...

Regina Sous La Mer

Hang onto your fangs, friends, because today I'm introducing the owners of the Sous La Mer Theatre.  It should come as no surprise that these are Liz's babies, and she was involved in their creation every step of the way.  

Once upon a time, three water deer sisters inherited the earthly wealth of their deceased mother.  The trio had not enjoyed a happy childhood, and they did not miss their mother; argumentative as they were/are, the sisters were nonetheless inseparable ...

Lark, Shark and Barn Owl

Halloween is coming up next month, and you know I love every second of spooky season.  In its honor I'm introducing Rudy and Annalise's elementary school bullies, a troublesome lark, shark and barn owl!

Link Larksley is a horned lark chick, and the self-proclaimed king of the playground.  He is a brat and an instigator who loves nothing more than picking on kids who are younger and smaller than himself.  Link considers his gift of the gab (and trash talk) to be second to ...

Songbirds Of a Feather

Fiona Scott (bleeding heart dove) and Rhiann Bodach (bluejay) are a lovely avian couple who made it big a some years back as a singer/songwriter duo.  While some would consider them one hit wonders, these birds laughed all the way to the bank, and their success made it possible for them to adopt their now-teenage daughter (who will appear in a future pic, fear not).

Rhiann gets her name from a JG gag I didn't get a chance to do.  Rainbow wanted to perform under a stage name, a...

Sept Special: A Silver Spoon And A Paper Plate

For your musical musings, I introduce Oaklyn "Lyn" Ginshokki and Vivi Yang, our distinguished spoonbill and ghost bat couple and the owners of the St. Charlies nightclub known as THE SCREECH!  It should come as no surprise, but Lyn is the big sister of Sylvana "Spoony" Ginshokki.

This rich girl and her trash bat fiancee couldn't seem more different, but they bonded via their mutual love and talent for all things musical.  Vivi's true calling is (wait for it) DJing, which she d...

It's A Tie!

Flutterdash and Octascratch tied for the WwF conversion special of September!  I offer to draw both couples, I only ask that my Patrons allow me to post them publicly on DA and FA in a month or so.  The worlds needs this beauty!  

When We Ra

There's no friend like a scorpion friend!  And my friend Markus has been feeling down so I drew his favorite, Catra, St. Charliefied!  And what's Catra without her ride-or-die, Scorpia?  Now I know what a WwF scorpion looks like!

Sorry Catra sounds like Boots.

Yellow Retro Couch

This was meant to be a comic, but I decided I wanted to develop the scene a little further first.  Here's Itzel, her mom and baby brother Nicky (a reindeer calf), sometime in the 80s.

Itzel and her four siblings were adopted by Baxter (not shown) and Wilhelmina Kingston, an upper class American couple.  This in and of itself is good stuff; we stan an adoptive family.  Itzel was happy and even somewhat spoiled as a kid, but as she grew up she would learn that it was the Ki...

Dance Dance Reveling Roommates

It's an impromptu dance party for roommates Autumn, Evan, Horatio and Kittiwake (the big birb had to have lived SOMEWHERE before moving in with Red and Val)!  To what song do you think they're moving and grooving?  I suggest this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRnpDKJDqGQ
