MAD DOG

(Gel Fineliner on A5 Paper)

 One of the age-old responses from dog-owners: “He won't bite you” along with “He's good with children.”

He's a dog, and like all dogs, they're bred from wolves. Given half the chance they'd revert back to their natural pack instinct. The only reason they don't is that they see you as the pack leader who regularly feeds and pampers them.

“Oh, my little darling isn't like that!” I hear you say, as if you're talking about a child. “He gives me kisses by licking my face. It's his way of saying how much he loves me.”

He licks his balls and arsehole with that tongue, so what's he really saying there?

The first prompt-word for Inktober2024 was "backpack" in the suspiciously themed list that was released last month. As in the preview post I made last, I decided not to bother with them and go "vanilla" with them all by drawing whatever I wanted each day.

WIZBANG! Pet Demon

Even pets were not immune to comic-book ads and there were quite a few different ones, whether it was the now infamous sea monkeys, or even squirrel monkeys (which were a real con, because you actually did get nothing for your money). As with other items that were advertised, they were sold as something wonderful and exotic, when they were really very mundane (sea monkeys were just brine shrimp).

 

With these Wizbang ads, I decided to reference them with an advert selling everything you could possibly need to grow your own little pet demon. A strange DIY kit that would probably sell well if it was advertised.

Numen-Deus TREASURE : PET WORLD

Play God with the amazing Numen-Deus Pet World!

Create your world and alter it through millions of years of evolution. You can even walk on your world in your very own virtual body! Then, when you've indulged all of your sick fantasies and destroyed your world in an act of pure madness, you'll then learn the true, horrific, nature of the game.

That it's actually a powerful temporal device which creates your world for real, billions of years in the past, on the other side of the galaxy. Which explains why there are no save points, rewinds, or second goes with this game. You're left to live with the guilt of all your actions.

Either that or the inhabitants of your world reach a level of technological advancement that they set out from their planet to give you and your world a good kicking!

Numen-Deus does try and warn us:
