Very well done there. The dog looks so cute.
:iconreedoo:
Still cute~ gosh. I like these. I can't think of things to critique though, because it really just is nice as it is, sort of thing. (I hate giving lame comments.)

See, Reedoo, too much sugar can be an advantage at times. I find it easier to draw in cartoon style, it's certainly is easier to color. :)
:iconreedoo:
Of course it is, you need not worry too much about specific detail, you can be very general to capture features and give a more asthetic appeal through simplicity rather than complexity (well you could do complex, but the time!)

If it's going to bring more cuteness, I'll start to ship you sugar.

Sugar's in full suply currently, although with the rate I am going, I'll probably run out soon :)

The time, yes, that's the main reason I like cartoonish style. Takes me about 3-4 hours for a drawing as opposed to 7-8 for a full scale work :)

:clap: Eee! That's so precious! *hugs Pete*

Thank you. :) Wow, I suceeded at making Pete likeable :) Yay.
:iconmoondarri:
Lol. All of these comics are so great! The animagi-marauders are all so cuddly and the caption at the bottom of the page really fits in with the expressions in the illustration. Peter's definitely very cute, for a rat!
:iconfirefly-wp:
Thank you for saying that, Moondarri. Peter definitely needs reassurance about his looks. :)

The captions are usually the last ones I finish putting in, but on the other hand I usually have some idea what I am going to write down before I start the update.

Take the update that I'm going to post in a few hours, for example (argh, didn't start drawing it yet!) I know it's going to contain James in his full battle mode against the Whomping Willow. I am pretty sure the caption will contain something about antler-to-branch ratio and how going against a tree with multiple limbs is not a very smart decision, but besides that -- no idea. :) You'll have to see tomorrow I guess.
