RUFFLES origin! Well, sort of
Newsarama responds to the growing love for Ruffles the Rage Cat, (a.k.a. as Dex-Star) of the Red Lanterns by interviewing his pet, I mean creator.

Click on the link above to read the interview. Ceiling cat commands it!

	I don't like it when Ruffles' eyes are open and glaring. He looks much more awesome and rageful when his face is all ^_^ (Reply to this)

Anatomy does not work that way...

First scan: too many teeth. There should be six pretty much equal-sized incisors between the upper fangs ("canines" seems wrong somehow). I count maybe nine here. Also, the medial surface of the fangs is too concave. They're pretty damn straight in most cats. This cat also has an overbite.

I do like the front paws in the first scan; the one on the left made me think he was wearing a bunny slipper. D'aww. No wonder he's angry, he can't climb space-trees while wearing booties!

Second scan: too few teeth. Perhaps acid reflux burned away five-ish incisors? Too many toes! Ok, polydactyly is known in cats, but most cat paws have only four toes and a dew claw well up the limb. Rage kitty is also angry at his dew claws being stuck inside tight sleeves.

However, the number of hind toes is normal in the second scan, and the number of front toes is normal in the first scan.

Both scans: rage kitty is REALLY enraged by the lack of whiskers!!

Come on penciller, how hard is it to find pictures of cats on the Intardnet?!

I do like the ^_^ smile though -- that's pretty realistic. I have yet to meet a cat who doesn't enjoy hunting, torturing and killing, even if the usual target is bits of string or laser-pointer spots or lazy operators-of-can-openers.

HUNGRY. RAGE. HATRED. NO MEOW MIX. BLOOD. BURN. ARE YOU AWAKE YET?

Feline morning breath does work that way...

	Seeing as he's an alien does it really matter that he doesn't have the right amount of teeth? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well the artist was at least inconsistent with the amount between panels. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	You know what? You're right. And I always thought Spock's ears were ridiculous, as no human being ever has ones shaped like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I see your point here, but it's a poor example, because Spock's ears are ridiculous. All TOS aliens are more-or-less ridiculous, but especially Spock and the Klingons.

Look, it's supposed to be a cat. Draw a cat. If they'd drawn a cat, we wouldn't have this conversation. If it's an alien cat, draw an alien cat. Make it consistent. Again, we'd have no need to discuss it if it wasn't clearly and completely wrong. Wrong by its own standards. Wrong.

	Dex-Star is from Dexter? Now I'm seeing a wierd connection to Dexter, the forensic blood spatter analyst/homocidal maniac obsessed with blood from the showtime series/book 'Dexter Dreaming Darking'. (Reply to this)
