hey speaking of dog parents

Meet Beauregard "Buddy" Fletcher, Sunny delightfully dowdy doughy dog dad. He owns an pretty lucrative chew toy company, but remains your typical down-to-earth suburban dad, complete with a love of grilling, beer, and his fav football team, the Green Hay Snackers (a cheese-themed team of dairy cows). He and Sunny used to be quite close, but nowadays, while Sunny still loves his dad, he can only handle (nosy, overprotective, cheerfully problematic) Bud in small doses, mostly around holidays, when he can mostly evade Bud's chatter about when Sunny plans on having kids or doing something about that flickering oil light in his car.

fun fact: Sunny's eyesight is pretty bad, he gets by mostly on his sharp sense of smell. He knows that if he finally succumbs to the thick coke-bottle corrective lenses he so badly needs he's 100% gonna look exactly like his dad, and Sunny's not quite ready to surrender his self-image as young and cool just yet.

This reminds me of the golden I use to have growing up! They're such sweet animals. Makes me happy to see you drawing Sunny and his daddo Buddy :)

I’m in love. He’s absolutely perfect.

Awww Buddy is so cute! I just wanna kiss that big ole nose

Aww, damn it Sunny visit your pops! He's just a big goofy goober! Also, I wonder how this big Ole goof gets along with Cass and Jude.

Does this mean that Jude will occasionally slip up as well? As a Minnesotan myself, a ‘oh yah fer sure’ will sometimes rise, unbidden, from the depths of my subconscious.

As a Wisconsin native, I can confirm this accent to be 100% accurate. Charlie Berens would be proud.

Of all his kids, Bud probably gets along with Jude the best, as they share a lot of common interests (sports, home repair, car mechanics, fishing, etc). Bud probably gave her a lot of embarrassingly out of touch but well-meaning support when she came out as a lesbian ("Didja know all the best golfers are lesbians, Judith?"). Jude knows her dad isn't perfect and a lot of their relationship is surface level(ie. he can't relate to her frustrations on how she's treated as a large carnivore) but she still holds a lot of exasperated affection for him. It's a similar situation with Cass, while Bud doesn't really grasp Cass' youth culture ("What exactly is a tik-tok? I thought kids today didn't bother with analog clocks?"), he nonetheless dotes on his youngest and smallest child and tries his best to relate to her interest in the arts. Cass also finds him hilarious, mostly ironically.

Jude: *stubs her paw* CRIPES ALFRIGHTY JIMINY CHRISTMAS

So he's the pure embodiment of "He's confused but he got the spirit. "? That's so easy to believe. Still, seems like a pretty decent dad trying his best! Just goofy and outta touch

Wellll....you'll see more of Bud's flawed side later. He's a small town dog, and that comes with a bit of small town thinking, not at all helped by the fact that dogs as a species tend to lean tribalistic, ie. viciously loyal toward their own social "pack", and mistrustful and even intolerant to anybody outside the designated "pack". Bud tries to be a good dad to his kids, but he's got some issues, many of which sadly do affect his relationships with his kids

His wife says it's the perfect smooch target!

Robo87

And bby Mason thought it was a perfect chomping target

I'm now imaging bby Sunny dangling by his teeth from daddo's poor nose and uttering the most ferocious puppy growls he can muster Buddy: nice try champ, but it's still bathtime for you

Melody Williamson

He just wants to grill jackfruit pulled pork sandwiches 😩

Paladin

I wonder how Bud and Biscuit met?

I'm kinda late to when this drawing came out (I just got enough to subscribe to your patreon again, and I have missed SO much), but I LOVE how much Buddy looks like Ruff Ruffman

Thank you. I appreciate your support, thanks for returning! :D
