It’s all takin’ and no givin’!

lulu I don’t think your four year old quite understands what you’re talking about

Lulu was a working single mom, and Tibbs grew up a largely unsupervised latchkey kid. Lulu, guilty over bringing a child into her life without a father or decent means of income, is a very, very permissive parent. After all, Tibbs is a bright and curious piglet, a gifted kid, and the tiny fluffy apple of Lulu’s eye. He can come home, lock the door, make a snack, and do his homework all on his own. He practically parents himself!

…..Yeah, turns out it’s a very bad idea to let a child parent themselves.

(fyi, lulu is asking Tibbs if he did his homework. Both Lulu and Tibbs speak Cajun French)

*A single mom who works two jobs* *Who loves her kid and never stops* every time i see lulu art, i think of reba mcentire :] she seems like such a genuinely sweet mom who just wants baby tibbs to have a good life

Angsty Ram

Yep, every time I see Lulu now I’ll hear Dolly Parton. Anywhom baby Tibs always has my heart, didn’t how that latchkey kid was a word but is something I am quite familiar to Also God help Lulu, cause waitressing is bad… it’s so much worse in rollerblades. Why people think a whole tables tray going at high speed is a good idea I’ll never know

Oh, I’m so curious how she views Tibbs’ work life now! She seems like the type to be proud of whatever he does, but she must have had feelings seeing him go from janitor (where he was mostly ignored) to B&B owner (working with his husband). I just love them SO much!!

Elsa

Oh gosh, I wanna hug baby Tibbs like a teddy bear. Just look at him

lopoddity

she’s gonna fuck him up spectacularly

lopoddity

I can’t imagine it’s any easier in hooves!

lopoddity

Oh yes. Lulu is stupid proud of Tibbs no matter what he’s doing. When he got his janitor job she was stoked like he just got accepted to furry harvard

Does Tibbs have any siblings? I don’t recall if Fuzzbutts follows the typical mammal litters or if it’s more like humans with typically one child at a time

QuailCoven

as someone from Louisiana with family that spoke Cajun French, it's so rare to see such lovely, wholesome representation!! I had been curious since Tibbs was introduced if his name was in reference to that! 🥺💗

Tibbs is such a cute little biscuit I can barely stand it <3 but I feel like therapy is in this kid’s future

lopoddity

Litters can happen, but they’re increasingly uncommon. Large litters (5 or more offspring) are rare. Lulu is one of 13 siblings, all born from the same litter. She gave birth to just one piglet, and that was enough for her, she elects to never become pregnant again. Tibbs has no biological siblings, but he does have a stepbrother- Teddy the reindeer. You can spot him in the background of my last post.

Thank you! One more question, did Tibbs make a few friends as a piglet or was he more of a loner?

lopoddity

Loner, definitely. Tibbs has always been very quiet and reserved, not much of a talker, mostly wants to be left alone, so only the most persistent and friendliest of people succeed in connecting with him. I’d say he doesn’t gain a true friend until his stepbrother Teddy.

Ok but that outfit is so cute on her, I can imagine her working in some 50s style diner or something

Oh man those relationships are so heart-wrenching. If your parent is neglectful because they're a shitty person, you can be justifiably angry at them. But if they're neglectful because they're working hard trying to give you a good life in a capitalistic hellscape? It's so sad. You love them, they love you, but you still end up missing out on support you needed. Both of you end up missing out on time together. I'd love to see more exploration of this dynamic. Great stuff <3

Squeals on Wheels? Oh man, I missed my opportunity!

lopoddity

Ha, when I worked on this I thought about Piggy Sue! Been dying to draw our two food service sows together!

lopoddity

Thanks! You're in luck, Tibbs' backstory and relationship with his mom is what I'm working on this week. Got a lot of sketches already lined up waiting to be cleaned and colored. Lulu is the living embodiment of "the road to hell is paved with good intentions".

When does Mona come into the picture? is tibbs still a kid? does she help the situation at all?

lopoddity

Mona enters the picture when Tibbs is in his late teens, not the best age to click with a new parental figure

TheHaywaiianHorse

Hmm I don't know...I imagine though tiresome, she's pretty good in those skates. I even imagine later on in life, she finds a hobby outside the normal grind, dusts off the old skates and eventually joins a roller derby team under the name *insert punny derby name here*...

We're quoting 9 to 5 but all I can think of for Lulu is 8 to 10 by Calm Down Ace.
