Ear and muzzle markings, and tail fluff are different. I think the Valentine’s Day one is canine too. (-To me- the current one looks canine except for the tail.) Also; Kade has aged but the Valentine’s Day girl has not. (Both versions are cute as a button (for kids anyway) though! 🙂 )
When I do extras I usually doodle a random fur pattern and then spin the color wheel until I find something that looks good. I guess I like purple fur.
Ah by the way Tim I’ve been wondering, is Savestate set somewhere specific or is it a purposefully vague place? I’ve always assumed they lived somewhere in the Midwest but that would be a bit far from the sea
Great Lakes? I know Harvey mentions the sea, but he hasn’t come across as the most geographically knowledgeable person…or caring how long it takes Ness to complete a task.
In RL all age dogs wag their tail. In the comic I don’t think we’ve seen enough dogs older than Kade and Nicole in the right situations for serious tail wagging.
Well yes, but children can have involuntary behavior when they’re a young and overstimulated. I’d imagine the same could apply to anthropomorphic dogs.
Ness is the one you think is going to be in trouble? I feel sorry for the poor little kitten who has no idea ness is a killer demonic entity inhabiting an animated stuffed sea dragon.
The clinging fur is the modern explanation. Otherwise, it’s a long running joke to put normally unclothed animal characters in swim trunks and sun glasses.
Cthulhu may be happy to wait, but if we’re talking Old Ones form the deep, it’ll be Dagon they need to worry about. I always figured that Dagon would be grumpier than Cthulhu too, if for no other reason than that you don’t see Summer Fun Dagon plushies that look like Bray Wyatt cosplayers.
Harvey is starting to remind me of Shin-Chan. I remember one where his mom walks into a room and gis just lying face down on the floor and says, “I’m a dead body.” And it looks like our cute little Ness has made a new friend.
They had scarf’s, maybe they chew through those or something. Seems like elastic worked for a while tho. And that still wouldn’t help with the missing eyes for Harvey.
Reading this comic always makes my day. Ohh I can’t wait to see what you do when Pokemon Sun and Moon come out. Does Kade know which version and which starter he’s getting 😛
Oh, Rick must love the beach. In fact, the beach must be crowded with reptiles all summer, since the love the heat and most reptiles enjoy baking on the sand.
How does he swim though? I mean, unless its the peak of summer, the ocean can be much colder than is best for reptiles. wont he get too chilled and run a risk of drowning if he forgets to pace himself?
That’s why Rick isn’t swimming alone. Rick spends a lot more time at the beach once summer gets into full swing, but Kade and Nicole will only agree to go during these early days when things are a bit cooler.
Welp. Dipper is working at the ice cream stand. And ice cream is definitely NESSessary.
Scooping out ice-cream first NESSessitates having a DIPPER.
Oh, I didn’t even notice the Dipper hat. Nice little addition to the comic.
Should we really be DRAGON these puns on so long?WHO AM I KITTEN OF COURSE WE HAVE TO!!!
YES! Gravity falls theme ^^ 😀
I can’t believe I lost like six separate strips to schoolwork.
Even has a hidden Bill Cypher on the dollar in the tip cup. (complete with hat.)
I guess I should have known better than to try and hide something from Gravity Falls fans. http://www.savestatecomic.com/junk/dipper.png
The fact that Dipper could be working there is a posibility too, acording to the series he was born on 1999
This is true lol
References and easter eggs always make me happy.
Wait the cat looks familiar. I think we saw her or am I wrong
She looks like the one in http://www.savestatecomic.com/2015/06/championship/
No, the cat in the Gamercat crossover has green eyes, really dark ear/tail tips and no stripes, and it also looks a bit less purple.
You might be thinking of an older vote incentive, where young Kade is asking a light purple girl to “Be my rival <3" on Valentine's Day?

You know what I just realized? Kade is totally wearing the same shorts Ty the Tasmanian Tiger does… The red with yellow flowers.
Gotta love the Hyrule Castle Kade is building 😀
Ah by the way Tim I’ve been wondering, is Savestate set somewhere specific or is it a purposefully vague place? I’ve always assumed they lived somewhere in the Midwest but that would be a bit far from the sea
Great Lakes? I know Harvey mentions the sea, but he hasn’t come across as the most geographically knowledgeable person…or caring how long it takes Ness to complete a task.
Yeah that’s what I thought until Harvey’s comment threw me off, and knowing how…unreliable he tends to be, he could be wrong 😉
They’re at the Great Lakes. Harvey is just very broken. Whatever happened to the back of Harvey’s skull definitely took it’s toll.
Hahah yeah, it’s typical of Harvey XD thanks!
Could Harvey died mutilated? Acording to the left bones and the fact It can disappear its arms and legs(?).
I still find it funny they wear clothes to the beach, but no other time
Clothes are purely decorative in this ‘verse, but swimwear is still traditional for beach episodes.
Wet fur doesn’t leave much to the imagination.
I’m sure Cthulhu won’t mind.
That is if they get icecream for him as well.
I see Ness has found a minion
No tag for Ness’ New Disciple? Not even just “Ness’ Disciple”? 😛
Also, Dipper-dog.
You guys are talking about the dog with the Dipper hat but did anyone notice the Mabel shooting-star popsicle?
Oh, I didn’t notice that either. It’s amazing the stuff that’s hidden here or there in this comic.
Bill Cipher is on the dollar in the tip jar. I was going to keep that one a secret but someone above mentioned it. XP
Is tail wagging something only young dogs do or is it an involuntary response? Don’t think I’ve ever seen an adult dog wag their tail.
In RL all age dogs wag their tail. In the comic I don’t think we’ve seen enough dogs older than Kade and Nicole in the right situations for serious tail wagging.
Well yes, but children can have involuntary behavior when they’re a young and overstimulated. I’d imagine the same could apply to anthropomorphic dogs.
Dipper hat, Mabel Popsicle. Awesome
Evil laugh from Harvey makes me to think to the most awful fate for Nessie
OMG , she’s been kid-napped ^_^”
Ness is the one you think is going to be in trouble? I feel sorry for the poor little kitten who has no idea ness is a killer demonic entity inhabiting an animated stuffed sea dragon.
Well unless if the kitten doesn’t provoke Ness but it seems Ness is already distracted from being violent for ice cream.
Surely it is XD
A KILLER NEEDS NO PROVOKATION. Besides, once ness eats enough ice cream, the sugar rush alone will turn her into a hyper tornado of destructive power.
I am begining to feel as though the term ‘adorkable’ was coined specifically in preparation for this comic.
Weird to ask, but… why is Nicole wearing a bra now when as far as I remember, she never has done so before?
Beach; wet, clingy fur.
Which sums up the last two weeks as well.
The clinging fur is the modern explanation. Otherwise, it’s a long running joke to put normally unclothed animal characters in swim trunks and sun glasses.
Harvey. The master of disguise and a weapon to surpass metal gear.
Cthulhu may be happy to wait, but if we’re talking Old Ones form the deep, it’ll be Dagon they need to worry about. I always figured that Dagon would be grumpier than Cthulhu too, if for no other reason than that you don’t see Summer Fun Dagon plushies that look like Bray Wyatt cosplayers.
For those that have never seen the joy that is Summer Fun Cthulhu:

Furry Logic : walk around naked all the time, but wear trunks at the beach…
Maybe they should buy Harvey one of those full-body suits for kids with photosensitive skin? It’s both a disguise and an alibi rolled into one! 😛

Reading this comic always makes my day. Ohh I can’t wait to see what you do when Pokemon Sun and Moon come out. Does Kade know which version and which starter he’s getting 😛
Same thing he did with XY and Omega/Alpha – buy both games and upload all the starters to the Pokemon Bank to transfer them into one game.
Oh, Rick must love the beach. In fact, the beach must be crowded with reptiles all summer, since the love the heat and most reptiles enjoy baking on the sand.

Thx read all comics from first to last in course of 2 days was a fun read 🙂
I see Ripper hat, Label’s shooting star and as pointed out by someone else Bill Cypher!
