This is definitely an interesting comic. Reminds me a bit of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for an older audience. (which technically was the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but that was still more fantasy, whereas this has a bit of satire to it)
Definitely influenced by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Planet of the Apes, also bad 80's sci-fi movies like Man's best friend. Commando. Revenge of the nerds. Revenge of the Ninja. old Godzilla Movies. Video games--Grand Theft Auto. Robotic Commando. Metal gear solid. Mario bros. Bill & Ted.
This origin story is like introducing C3po and R2 D2. The cool stuff hasn't happened yet.
I put up new pages on Mondays or Fridays(sometimes both) thanks for checking it out.

Kind of a superficial thing, but I like the details on the car design, both interior and exterior. What did you use for reference there?
And nice job on the build-up of the story so far. Now that we've caught glimpses of the dogs, it feels like it's about to come together.

The car reference is my first car--an old Pontiac T-1000 I used my freshman year of college. A couple of old photos..light-boarded. I have fond memories of that car--you always remember your first. lol
Yeah the story has been a slow burn but only because i wanted to get the origin out the way.

Here are some early concept design sneak peaks at upcoming characters
will probably rework this one-- a bit too Disney influenced.
Great stuff on the detail of the facial expressions on your McDougle, Excelsior. I'm getting kind of a Don Bluth vibe off these character designs.
Don't feel rushed to finish that origin story, though. A solid, well-thought-out basis really goes a long way, also in terms of future storytelling potential.

Very interesting work and great artistry here, definitely a work of art.
