2006-11-13: Hot In Here (Flare)
Desert landscape
I had to get some hefty photo reference to draw that camel! It didn't... really... help.
This comic is in the storyline:

A long-running series, maybe the crux of the site. Reader submits a suggestion, and I draw three comics based on that suggestion. Originally all three had to start the same, but it evolved.
Text transcript
Rabid: HOW is it so HOT in here?! Rabish: Bleargh!! Rabid: The sweat has slicked down my furs. Rabish: You look so sinuous!! Rabid: Now the sweat evaporated and the salty residue has HARDENED. Rabish: Oh no! The internal juices have vapourized in the heat, propelling his head like a rocket capsule!! Dr Quickly: A flare! Rabot: We found them!! Dr Quickly: Why are you so sad, Rabish? We rescued you, and the camels have a tasty salt lick! [[Moral: When you come across a giant oven in a desert, don't consider it to be "shelter".]]
