Penciled "Tin can Alley" Page (Patreon)

     It's no secret that I loved The Pound, and planned to do it as a regular series. Not only did it have the biggest cast and most complex storylines I'd ever planned, but it was also one of the only times I actually liked my art. Unfortunately, people saw it as a "furry" comic (which it wasn't), and even back then the furry label had such a stigma to it that the series would have been relegated to that tiny niche market. Worse yet, actual furry fans didn't like The Pound because it's not warm and fuzzy (as you'll know if you've ever read it), so sales would have been low even amongst that crowd. In an effort to get around this, I wrote a spinoff set in an isolated ghetto of Moreau (the city where The Pound takes place), called Tin Can Alley. Instead of biologically engineered creatures, this title centered around androids and other purely artificial (i.e., non-biological) but sentient characters. Thinking robots, basically. It had some interesting ideas, but I just didn't have the same passion for it, so it never went anywhere. Anyway, here's one of the few pages I penciled. The cartoonishly proportioned female character is an escaped pleasure model who doesn't know that she has an extremely dangerous weapon inside her.
