I like how the flapping feather in the last panel came out. It took a few sketches to get that down.

Honestly, I think this was the strip that first sold be on Little Dee way back when. Something about his quiet realization and subsequent heroic panel is just cute and funny and oddly hilarious. And it sets the tone for our fine feathered friend here- sure, he;s a jerk, and that never changes… but it doesn;t mean he won;t care for Dee all the same.
It reminds me so much of BeanY and Cecil when I was a child;
“I’M COMIN’, BEANY BOY – I’M COMIN’!!”
Yeah, so far we’ve seen his nature, and now we see his “humanity,” his nature overridden. :)
This so appeals to the 11yo in me that firmly believes that all Vachel characters have a soft spot deep down inside (or in the case of Vachel, not quite that deep ;D)!
