Lackadaisy Fanart

I'm a HUGE fan of the webcomic Lackadaisy which is set in 1920s St Loius but with talking cats.

The artist recently posted a bunch of pictures of the characters as humans and I was struck by how totally different they were to my mental images. So I decided to draw them. I started by sketching the two main characters but didn't put so much thought into those since I haven't had a "BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE" moment with them.

• Rocky: Character, My version
  
• Freckle:Character (on the left), My version
  
• Ivy: Character, My version, Artist's version
  
• Mordecai: Character, My version, Artist's version
  
• Wick:Character, My version, Artist's version
  

As you can see I didn't look at the colour versions of these characters before I coloured my art :) But overall I'm much more literal with the colouring (dark fur -> dark skin/hair etc)

I have some further thinky thoughts about this but for now just want to collect all the links.

Red Creaming Soda Cake

Mix:
1 packet cake mix (eg Greens vanilla cake)
about 2/3 can soft drink eg red creaming soda (enough to make a batter)(*)

Bake as directed.

It's a bit flat and crumbly and the red creaming soda flavour is rather fake but it's fairly nice, relatively low fat, and dairy free (in fact, vegan!) And ABSURDLY easy.

I encountered the "use a can of soda in cake mix" idea shortly after going off dairy but couldn't find any dairy free cake mixes to try it with until now (not sure how I missed that Greens are).

I haven't been able to drink soft drink since I got reflux but the raising agents counteract the acid and it doesn't seem to disagree with me too much (I intend to freeze most of the cake and eat it over time) So, yay! *ponders the possibilities*

(*)Recipes I found online call for a full can, but looking at the weights given Australian cake mixes seem to be smaller than American ones
