Playing Dirty (7 pages) (Patreon)

After a full afternoon of cavorting, the two maulers retreat inside to drink their woes away. With enough venom in them, what started as conversations about schemes and scams turns into something even more devious.

Odie: "Come on, I told you what I'm into! You gotta share!"

Smokey: "You're so persistent! Fine ...I like danger. It's weird, but It's just kind of thrilling to be in trouble. It doesn't really matter what's got my back against a wall either. It just gets me riled up."

Odie: "Sigh, c'mon, thrill-seekers are a dime a dozen amongst us, friend. That's just part of your mauler blood, honestly."

Smokey: "I don't mean it's just fun! I mean, I get... you know? Especially if it's a big, angry mauler. I'll push the envelope t-then run off and... w-well... YOU KNOW! I love running away and being a coward! Ah stop looking at me like that! You understand what I'm saying!"

Odie drops the facade and begins bursting into laughter.

Odie: "Haha! So you piss people off with snake oil to get off!? You're messed up! I thought you were just a scaredy cat, but you're freaky!"

Smokey: "Hey, I didn't make fun of you! You're nasty!"

Odie: "Hehe, I never said this was a no-judge zone."

The bushy-tailed mauler pulls into his drinking mate, grabbing at his garments.

Smokey: "Hey!"

Odie: "It's a shame you live on scheming, medicine man. People won't get to appreciate your cute face if they're too busy making a mess of it."

Smokey: "H-hey..."

Odie: "And there's a lot to appreciate..."

Poison swirls in the mix of their saliva as their tongues dance together. The night will be filled with more than just tall tales.

A Smokey X Odie comic! It's been a while since I've done an actual comic-comic, formatting, and everything. Again, messing around with the gradients. I promise the next one of these I do will be less spontaneous; I kind of did this one as a self-indulgent test, but I feel for the next one, I'll take a vote.

By the way! I do post this stuff and other things, hopefully earlier, on Discord! So if you're in the server please check out the gallery. I also try and handle the polling, idea tossing, and such there as well.
