I'd almost completely forgotten about this one :O
A long while ago I asked you guys if there was anything you'd like to see me draw, like random shenanigans with the characters or just some alternate universe stuff or whatever; basically just goofing around with the characters and having some fun while waiting for the finished novel :)
I can't remember which post it was so I can't find it right now and thus unfortunately can't credit the person who suggested this one. The suggestion was simply "draw Sam and Spike as dads!" and while it would have been adorable to draw them as actual dads, either as a married couple with an adopted kid or two, or the two having a "play date" where they meet up again and let their kids hang out and play while they catch up on what's been up since last they met etc, happy sighs as they look at their kids playing, being all "they grow up so fast...", and then cameo appearance by grandpa Saunders who is all proud like a cuddly old rooster who just wants to hug everyone cause he loves them all so much etc, looking at HIS son and Spike as he too sighs happily and lovingly "they grow up so fast.."
Tons of ways I could have interpreted and drawn that suggestion/request. But, true to the good old spirit of "putting my characters in awkward situations for sheer laughs and to even out the whole seriousness thingy", this sketch happened instead ;)
And in case my handwriting is difficult to decipher, the dialogue is as follows:
Saunders: "Aww <3 You guys didn't tell me you were expecting! Aww, congratulations, lads! I'm so happy for you.. <3"
(Sam and Spike, holding sacks of flour that has diapers on them)
Sam: "OH MY GOD! It's a school assignment, dad! Geez!"
Spike: (looking at his sack of flour) "If I 'dropped' it on the floor and it 'died', could I still get an F?"
So yeah; Sam and Spike as dads.. xD
...might still draw them as actual dads though >u> I would kind of like to see that too, just for the cuteness. And as an excuse to draw happy grampa Saunders >u<
