This was very kindly drawn by clemaxgra. I've always been a switch and sometimes I'd have August drawn as a squeaky cub, much like Blum some 10 years later. I always imagined him being a very pouty and contrarian bottom that needs to be put in his place.
This was also when August went from being an air-filled inflatable to more of a solid rubber-coated critter, which would continue with later sonas as well.
The "SW" here is indeed the same person who got me into being a rubber cub back when I was 16. I would talk to the guy off an on around this time. He was a real horndog.
