Meet Ralph the SnowDuck


I took the train from the city to spend New Year's Eve/Day with my uncle's family in Connecticut.  It was snowing in New York when I left, and about six inches had accumulated by the time I got to CT.  It was The Perfect Snow, the kind that is light and powdery but still packable.  It makes that delicious, satisfying crunch under your feet, and it's great for snowballs, snow forts, and ... SnowDucks.

Thanks guys! I wanted to work on it a little more, but I was rushing b/c I thought tonight’s game started at 5pm ET, not 5pm PT. Ah well. If it doesn’t rain/freeze tonight, I’ll go back and draw in some tail feathers.

And hey, if things go especially well tonight, maybe you could add in a Star corpse.

Why is he named Ralph?

My inspiration was Sleek’s aqua duck toon, whose name (I think?) is Ralph.* Unfortunately, making an upright snowduck is harder than you’d think, and by the time I realized that my Ralph looks nothing like the real one, it was too late to change the name.

  • I sure hope this is right. Otherwise, where the hell did I get “Ralph”?

Yeesh, I really need to use that preview button. That bullet is supposed to be the * that I left hanging in the comment above.

It’s quite all right, Grace. Tonight’s a night I’d like to shoot a Bullet right through the Stars*, anyways.

* “Stars” being a pun for “Asterisks”, in this case.

Actually, I’ve never named the guy — that was Spade’s call. But it’s become dominant enough to get my blessing — Ralph it is!

Happy New Year grace (and everyone else) … but didn’t you forget a Shark eating the Duck? … :)

Ever get the feeling we are on a collision course with reality? (boycott Hollywood!)

Happy New Year to you, too, Angie! And about that shark — if I had better snow-sculpting skills, Ralph would be chomping on a little toy shark. :P
