Description Well, after that unusually lengthy ad break, we’re back to the main event! And it looks as though Butch is having a bit of trouble. After catching his opponent with a hefty right-hander, the bulldog attempted to follow it up with another right - but Rex is clearly a cat you can’t catch out the same way twice, and having dodged the blow he’s making Butch pay for leaving his guard wide open with a short, hard shot of his own straight to the chin. Ker, as the saying goes, blammo.

Can Butch bite back? Or is Rex on the road to victory? And has anybody seen my red pen? At least two of these questions will be answered after the break. Tch, commercial television, eh?

Viewers joining us late in the proceedings can watch the fight from the beginning by pressing the red button, doing a funny dance, eating three cream crackers in less than 60 seconds and invoking the Great God Imhotep, or simply by poking the following links with a VirtualPointyStick.

Happy clicking, folks! Oh, and just so you know, Butch is the copyrighted creation of the splendid Mr Salvador Meza. Infringement of said copyright will result in your being biffed up the conk by a device I’ve had made specially, which consists of a boxing glove on the end of a very long telescopic arm thing.

Round One, FIGHT!

Makes me think of the Boxing match game sequences in the Nintendo Wii game, Wii Sports

Or, indeed, Punch Out, which the little Nintendo guys are *finally* getting round to reviving. Hurrah!

If only I possessed a modicum of programming skill, I'd be only too happy to try and turn Butch and Rex's bout into some kind of online Punch Out-esque fighty game. It'd be just like a match-up between King Hippo and Bear Hugger, except with a cat and a dog, natch.

Great Work and I'm so glad to see your work again

Hugely pleased you like the piccy, sir! And yes, Butch is indeed in a spot of bother right now. But hey, he can still make a comeback. OR CAN HE? Dun dun dun!

He's not down for the count just yet. But he could definitely use some support to spur him back into the fray, so by all means keep rooting for your favourite fighter!

You betcha. Butch can take a punch with the best of 'em, but he's definitely feeling that one. Fear Rex's mitts of mightiness!

Eee yay, I'm always so excited when you upload new work, Matt. After Hound showed me your stuff, I was an instant fan. I love your lineart, and how well you capture the action, especially in a shot like this!

Butch would almost certainly agree, were he not quite so much on the dazed side just at the moment.

She did indeed. Also, she said to eat lots of vegetables and to avoid running with scissors. This is not strictly relevant, but adds local colour.

Now that looks like a show stopper! As a canine-person though, I'd have to say that I'm rotting for Rex, he has that killer look on his mug.

Lets hope that Butch doesn't throw in the towel!

MatthewSmith In reply to HoundGrey [2008-12-04 20:33:10 +0000 UTC]

Rex is a hard-hitting moggy and no mistake, but Butch is one tough mutt, so I wouldn't write him off just yet. That being said, it does look as though Rex is winding back his left paw for another pretty big shot - I guess we'll just have to wait and see what transpires...
