I've had the phrase "Carl the Crimson-Nosed Caribou" in my sketchbook for a couple weeks now. I didn't know what to do with it - I just like the idea of a caribou who also has a red nose constantly getting mistaken for Rudolph. And how it drives him nuts. It cracks me up. 

I sketched this out last night just to get this idea out of my system. I know it's too wordy. And a little too weird for most people to enjoy. 

This idea won't be turned into a final comic, but I'm not giving up on Carl the Crimson-Nosed Caribou. There's something there. Maybe it could be children's book. Carl the Crimson-Nosed Caribou Saves Christmas.

Yes absolutely a children's book! It would be so perfect for that! Love seeing your sketches. Thanks and happy holidays!

FWIW, "caribou" and "reindeer" are synonyms.

Caribou Country Club - I love the matching alliteration LOL

Maybe just go with the tie and "drive a luxury car", though to be fair, imagining how he gets his antlers in and out of the vehicle without fouling up the ceiling upholstery is its own amusement.

"Drive a luxury car" is good. It does need to be less wordy.

I've always wanted to do a children's book so we'll see. Happy Holidays to you too!

I love it! A reindeer with a Rolex!

Melissa

Carl the Crimson-Nosed Cari-BOOHOO.

Maybe the first two sentences can be shortened simply to, "I'm not Rudolph!" and then continue with the interrogatories, and then a final "NO!" The caption at the bottom covers the rest of it. Is that short enough?

I like it! My mind was going to a drunken “rich” caribou at the country club bar… red nose- drinks too much. 🤣 but, I like your children’s book idea. Much more wholesome. Lol! 😂

Scott Metzger

Haha - well, maybe he'll drink too much in the children's book! (See, this is why I haven't written any children's books yet)

Maybe a luxury convertible. Or a sun roof to accommodate those antlers
