One of the Original Skupples breed from the TV Show, Skupples like him were sold as pets and children's companions.
Roxie not sure what to make of her new pet and companion. Soon becoming inseparable the two were best friends until Roxie hit the age of 11, Skippy passed on then.
Skupples having a short lifespan when first introduced didn't live too long, being a genetic construct it was a security feature. Roxie was heart broken when Skippy died and changed as a person, becoming a bit more withdrawn.
Not being able to allow herself to replace her loved companion which was like a little brother to her, made the idea impossible to think.
This was the main reason Skupples were given a much longer lifespan, people bonded so closely it was too hard to take for most. Skupple also bonded as well, many dying when their master died or abandoned them. Just giving up and letting go, the little guys could actually die from a broken heart.
Well, the same concept of extending lifespan is in the background of my own comics (last drawn or planned issue was #100, with stuff for a few further issues still extant). Citronella, a humanoid skunk, was given at least 2 genetic upgrades by unknown parties (perhaps Dr. Kablonksi, who appeared in #93 (LITTLE ORPHAN ANIMALS) was one of them or at least an agent). These upgrades would endow a full human lifespan, and other human aspects that the original virus did not endow,
In some cases, they became the adopted children of their owners, and, because genetic material was taken from the humans, became the actual children of the humans. Citronella is, in a sense, the sister of her HUMAN owner (and now half-brother). She has a human mother, a skunk mother (died from the virus - it is lethal to grown animals).
They may be the Adams & Eves of new sentient races, and if humans wipe themselves out ...

Nice, you should post more if you can In my world, as Humans came to accept and love Genetic constructs they become a brother race, symbiotic in nature. After a long time, Humans even took Skupples and Canids as Mates. Using the gene labs to help when a child was wanted, they would take traits from both parents and make them a child to be placed inside the waiting mate.
It took centuries for humans to completely accept such things into society breaking ancient stigmas
