“I don’t understand why we weren’t chosen to attend the Gathering,” he complains. “Leopardstar says that I’m the most talented apprentice in the Clan, so I should have been allowed to go!”
Stormpaw resists the urge to smother Hawkpaw. “You’re right, that is odd. It’s almost like she’s just telling you what you want to hear.”
Hawkpaw glares at him. “You want to go right now? I’ll show you just how good I am.”
“Can you both be quiet?” Mothpaw pleads. “I have to be on a dawn patrol tomorrow morning!”
“Hunting or border?” Featherpaw asks, defeated, like she’s accepted the fact that Hawkpaw isn’t going to be quiet anytime soon.
“Hunting.”
“That’s another thing!” Hawkpaw cries. “How long as it been since Mothpaw or I were sent to patrol a Clan border? Is Leopardstar trying to keep us a secret or something? Why would she want to keep us secret?”
Stormpaw mutters, “Maybe it’s because you're ugly.”
Hawkpaw launches himself across the den with a screech and lands squarely on top of Stormpaw. Mothpaw tries to intervene but Featherpaw stops her with a sigh and says, “Don’t. Maybe they’ll wear each other out. Besides, that was a low blow.”
I'm enamored with The Venture Bros's dual commitment to portraying a world full of sincerely, unironically badass superhumans, secret agents and pulp adventurers, while also portraying a level of institutional and interpersonal dysfunction that results in like 95% percent of the badass stunts they pull off totally failing to accomplish anything productive. Three different operators showing up to every throwdown, their clever plans cancelling each other out, climaxes fizzling out left and right. What was any of that for? What did any of this accomplish? Good question.
Io dopo più di quattro ore passate davanti alla webcam ad ascoltare discorsi su lavoro, competenze, life skills, l'importanza di prendere decisioni e di avere una relazione sana con sé stessi.

I tried to draw this fully on model and in line with how an actual scene from the show would look, but then I drew the background and I couldn’t help but give it some dumber lighting effects.
