Star Trek Uniform Sketch - 2250s
Several years ago, I was a fan of a webcomic (now defunct) called The Mousekaroos by Sarah Davis.  Rather than take some of her characters and stick them in some contrived fancomic, I created fan characters set in her world and made a two-page comic with them.

While The Mousekaroos is no longer on the web, I thought this fancomic could stand well enough on its own, especially since it homages a well-known cartoon rivalry.

Beeps, the brown-furred character, is a Mousekaroo from the desert.  Earl, the dragon, was based on one of Davis' own characters, poorly remembered on my part.  As such, there's probably enough differences between her Earl and mine for them to count as two different characters.

You can still find it on "Google Images", tho I can find no coherence."

That's probably because there were at least two versions of it.  The first and longest was something of a rambling story that was dropped after a few years when the site went down for a while.  The artist took the opportunity to reboot the story to be more serious and cohesive, but this didn't last as long or get as far.  After another months-long site hiatus, she redid the site to feature a different comic, one that didn't have mousekaroos as characters.  After that, I don't really know, as that last, long hiatus kind of killed my interest in hanging around.

Boo. It;s me again.
Boo.

I can well understand how one can lose interest in a webcomic, comic, tv show, etc., if it goes on hiatus and such drags on & on. I was following ZODIAC, about a league of super-heroes (12 in all, each named after a sign of the zodiac) and has, for a long time, involved their first battle in a restuarant. This battle has gone on & on & on, with only one supervillain killed and the others are stiill standing strong (unless one counts one villain who apparently got an arm compoundly broken by a hero gone berserk).

Despite their powers, (and one seems omnipotent),the heroes are getting clobbered. The battle has spread outside now, with an Iron Man-like villain throwing police cars around. The strip app. went on hiatus then, and,after a long time, resumed, but only for about 4 pages. It is now on long hiatus again, and I frankly suggested to the artist/writer that he just text summarize the rest of the story. That's because I -and doubtless others- have grown tired of waiting.

I go on to others things. You can find this well-drawn and well-characterized strip on DeviantArt.Com. It comes with a bio-page of each character; hero (Sagitarrius, expert with weapons), villain (Hellhound, homicidal madman with fire powers), innocent ordinary citizen (owner of the restuarant that is beng smashed apart by the all-out dragged-out battle).and mystery men (bosses of Zodiac who MAY be Egyptian gods in disguise).

I might also add Zander, over at FurAff, about an elf-skunk who is under a geas,imposed by a demon she defied and angered; she can not die until a certain bottle is filled with her tears of woe. The bottle is also unlosable (like a certain item in the Infocom computer adventure game HITCH-HIKER'S GUIDE based on the novel, and,becuase it was written by the same author, just as mad). She has gone through periods of dormancy and even mummified in a sealed wall, only to be revived. There is violence (such as killing everybody in a village, and using magic to kill men who threatened her.)and sex (endowing immortality of sorts on a friend by sex magic). So far the story has begun c.900 a.d., and has now reached the 20th century. The author only adds to it very slowly. All the more tantalyzing as there is a villain, a master elf-skunk.

Not surprising, I suppose.  It's tough for an artist-writer to keep from going overboard with their storylines.  They have this grand epic they'd like to tell, but forget it's better to compress things into (more or less) self-contained, easily-digestible, and manageable smaller chunks that don't take a year of regular updates to tell what could be done in two months.

Were I to ever get the ambition to turn My Little Mousie, for example, into a webcomic, I think I'd prefer to adopt a more episodic structure with each episode similar in length to a regular comic book.  That way, readers would at least have complete stories with endings when I get bored and wander off at some point.

As for the two comics you cited, I've run across them myself, too.  I didn't get much further than the robot chair fight with ZODIAC.  There just seemed to be too much introduction before they got to the action, which apparently dragged on too long.  As for Zander, that's a lot of story for a slow connection like mine, and FurAffinity has its shortcomings when it comes to browsing galleries.  In that case, at least part of the blame lies with me.

The mousekaroo would have to be VERY fast to (1) seemingly teleport to the bait and (2)evade the dragon like that.

No more so than the Roadrunner. :p

The mousekaroo also suggests Aladdin from Disney's feature film, in his attire.

That's true, although in this case, it's accidental on my part as I was following the world-building conventions of Ms. Davis.  Whether she was influenced by Aladdin I couldn't say.
