1.) color test for brothers topher and toffee. Topher’s kind of a pretty boy under the hat and hostility. Toffee is definitely not inspired by my own precious doggie.

2.) Honey elects to attend a service at Toffee’s church. Toffee asked Topher to go give her a friendly welcome she deserves, a statement Topher decided was very subjective

Rest in Peace Lemon Bars 😔

ThyHauntedMansion

Homegirl and her poor, never eaten lemon bars😭

Doxiedreg

I imagine honey saying "My lemonbars!!" the same way as cabage man from avatar

Biscuit

Toffee is an *absolutely beautiful boy*, and I wish him all the happiness and definitely no forced gender/sexual roles and societal expectations from punchable father figures. Also, just saying, who’s to object if you include your own Ms. Dukes into your story?

As someone whom recently discovered the sanctity that is lemon bars...is a crime.

Doglover502

I'd feel more bad if I actually liked lemon bars...but I don't. Throw dem Topher! I mentioned this in a community post too, but I do really love all the dog characters we've been seeing lately ^^

Azure-Art-Wave

Seeing honey so often is genuinely slowly persuading me into actually trying a lemon bar recipe...

pookaWOODS

OMG they're amazing!!!

lopoddity

Daisy does kinda exist in my story. :3 I figured if she were turned into a sapient anthro she’d be a wide-eyed conspiracy theorist (because she’s barks at EVERYTHING and stares into space sometimes like she sees a demon beyond my mortal perception). This became the inspiration for the character Mimi.

Blizwolfthewolf

The real question is, are the bars any good and will anyone ever get to eat them???

Gleeman and Artist

awww toffee is so cute.<3 and the more I hear about topher the more I like him

lopoddity

They’re easy enough to make and only need a few ingredients (flour, sugar, eggs, butter, lemons). :3 Personally I don’t really care for that chewy texture, I much prefer lemon cookies. Honey is a very talented baker, I just keep drawing her with lemon bars cuz they’re sweet and sunshiney and feel like something she’d make a lot.

lopoddity

They’re delicious. 🥹 Honey uses double the recommended butter. Toffee will probably gobble a whole pan at some point, instantly winning Honey’s trust

gamigami

the most anticipated saga of all: lament of the lemon bars also i've gotta know...what music does topher listen to...

RagingRiptide

I love these brothers oh my god, Toffees design especially is so cute holy cow

SilageKiddZ

Topher is such an excellently designed dude, I love him so much. I'm loving how he's such a foil to Honey too (granted, so is Skye, but it's weirdly more fitting coming from her own family? idk) and Toffee looks like such a gentle fella

PrincessMuffinArt

I love them both! They’re so cool! Can’t wait to see more of them!

lopoddity

Oh rock, definitely. Rock around the clock. Punk rock, prog rock, acid rock, garage rock, alt rock, hard rock, glam rock, rap rock, indie rock….you get the drift. I imagine lots of Rage Against The Machine and Smashing Pumpkins, and also lots of old school psychedelic rock he likes to listen to high

owlcoholik

Is Topher based off an English springer? Because you nailed the look of them!

lopoddity

Yep, he’s a springer spaniel. I’m cheating a bit with the designs for the sake of visual variety, even though it doesn’t make much sense breed-wise. Topher is based on a springer, Merry is an English cocker spaniel, Honey is a mashup of cocker spaniel and cavalier King Charles spaniel, Toffee is some sort of spaniel/shih tzu cross.

Bigsmile

Oh Honey, never has a character made me feel the whiplash of the emotions that are sympathy and disgust...... Is it wrong to accept a Lemon Bar from an asshole preaching nonsense? Cause I really want a lemon bar now

lopoddity

You were right in your first comment, Honey is a turd. ;3 She’s surprisingly fun to write and draw, and I like exploring her psychology, testing whether I can make her sympathetic, or at least understandable. It makes for a neat contrast for when I draw her being an intolerant little butthole. She honestly has a LOT of messed-up beliefs that she needs to unpack, “fixing” Honey is not as simple as her riding off into the sunset with a harem of lesbians. She’s a sexist, she feels justified policing the bodies and behaviors of other women, she’s a classist, she buys into the idea that poor people CHOOSE to be poor through their own laziness, she’s pretty intolerant of most people that do not fit into her narrow sanitized purview of acceptability, oh and she’s sheltered as FUCK. In the above scene with Topher she’s judgemental toward “addicts”, not realizing her own mother probably abuses at least one prescription drug in secret. Honey’s got a ton of growing to do, which is why I threw her Skye, Summer, and two older brothers (a good cop and a bad cop, so to speak), to start the wheels turning.

knickknacks

The continual disrespect to Honey's lemon bars is my new favorite running gag Topher and Toffee are delightful! I enjoy them both quite a lot- it's fascinating to see the similarities and differences between Merry's kids, and the different ways they reacted to/against his influence.

SmilesPerHour

I’ve never imagined that a spaniel could look so grumpy and gruff, but Topher pulls it off well! I like their dynamic 🙂

gamigami

does this mean there is a possibility he and tibbs have met at a rock concert of some type....

FaeMoona

So is Toffee a priest of some kind? is he like his dad/ a conservative values type or is he a genuine love all creatures type? Also get her ass topher <3

lopoddity

Toffee is a pastor. :3 He’s verrrrrry different from his father Merry. Merry injects his sermons with conservative politics, he quite likes making up boogeymen (eg. college liberals, atheists, queer people) for his congregation to fear (and thus donate more money for the church to combat). He preaches prosperity gospel, the idea that wealth is a a divine blessing that is granted only to the most devout, which is how he justifies profiting so much from his congregation. It’s simply the will of the Master, Merry says. He insists to his congregation that they too could be wealthy, all they have to do is donate fistfuls of cash to the church, and they shall be rewarded (….eventually. In some vague sense). To be perfectly clear, Merry is a scammer that preys on lonely, directionless people, often the elderly. Toffee is different. He wholly rejects prosperity gospel, believing instead that the role of the church is to aid the community, not profit from it. Toffee’s church places a heavy emphasis on food/housing programs for poor people, assisting families with medical debt, and guiding addicts toward recovery. Toffee’s church is one of complete acceptance and love, none of that “love the sinner, hate the sin” nonsense. His doors are welcome to everyone, with no caveats. This means he makes significantly less income than his father, and that his church is more of a, well….basement compared to Merry’s gleaming manicured fortress. But Toffee believes he’s doing the right thing. Merry can keep his money, Toffee would rather be up early making pancakes for hungry kids.

CardstockBroth

Damn I can't wait for the moment where Topher points out that Honey's mom is zooted.

FaeMoona

oh i love that so much. to be raised by prosperity gospel types and then to turn around and reject it for the bullshit it is must have been tough on him but shows his strength of character. Does Merry ever give him trouble for this? How about honey? id imagine so dfkjhsasd

FloweryFruitFangs

Now I'm wondering if Tibbs and Topher have ever seen Jude's band, Maul Madness.

owlcoholik

I had a springer as a kid, I’d recognize them anywhere! I honestly don’t see it cheating at all, i just assumed they got some genes from the grandparents

lopoddity

Maul Madness is a punk rock pack of lesbians screaming about eating people. I cannot impress how much Topher would fuck with that (and how metal Tibbs would find them)

lopoddity

Oh that’s likely. Met and argued what constitutes classic rock for like two hours. A very heated argument in that Tibbs is an emotionless (yet playfully antagonizing) wall to Topher’s furious yapping. Perry listens with mild interest before asking if they’re done flirting, to which Topher gets flustered and storms off. Tibbs still claims he won the argument

arcadia

HAHAHAAAA GO TOPHER!!

AsTheJayFlies

How is topher pronounced? does it rhyme with gopher or is the o like toffee?

Scyllarus

I have to admit that my mental image was of Ms Daisy Dukes just. Murdering a pan of lemon bars. Bits of lemon curd dripping down her mustache, bits of crust in her fur. I'm sure Toffee is a bit more....genteel, but idek man, that mental image with an absolutely entranced Honey in the corner is sending me

Bigsmile

Summer, Skye, Toff and Toph. By their powers combined they form Deprogramer!

Bigsmile

I gotta question on everyone's favorite topic, religion! Does Topher still believe in the dog centric deity of "The Master " with a more inclusive approach to include everyone? Or has he converted to a new religion altogether? Like the pagan Pantheon Biscuit worships? I love worldbuilding tidbits on faith so I can ask a billion questions

Robo87

…….I REALLY want to see a Skye/Topher friendship/fwb situation and bonding over their shared…let’s say distaste of a certain lemon bar dog (which absolutely should be a running gag that somehow they never get eaten) . I mean Honey would probably loose her shit

Robo87

Also I absolutely adore these doggo bros and their fucked up family

Kittycats

toffee is so cute augh love him

Marta Tarasiuk

Each time I start to feel some sort of sympathy for Honey, she goes on and says or does something like that. I'm half way convinced that she is not a dog but three garbage bags in a trench coat pretending to be a person.

lopoddity

Oh Honey is all dog. :3 She’s sympathetic and horrible all at once! An infuriating polarity. I’m sure Skye would describe her as three trash bags in a trench coat tho

Azure-Art-Wave

Seeing some of the comments about honey's lemon bars saga I wanna simply believe her and toffee have some sort of bonding moment in which she eventually shares them with hungry little kiddos and maybe just maybe Topher tolerates her a bit...
