Eh, a bit of a silly title, but I couldn't help myself :P

A very fun anonymous commission featuring the main characters from a show that I've, surprisingly, never watched before! For those not in the know, this is Bert (right) and Ralph (left) Raccoon, from the TV show, The Raccoons!

I had to do a little bit of research and watching for this pic, and I'm rather happy that I did :) The show is sharp and witty and very nicely animated, and it does feature my favorite animal rather prominently. I've no idea how I missed it, but thanks to so many old shows being available these days online, I was able to catch up a bit.

I wasn't given a story for this commission, but I suspect it's pretty straight-forward ;) Bert is just being a generally silly and ornery fellow and giving his buddy Ralph and good solid tickling to get him to lighten up and have a bit more fun in life! I mean, the guy barely has any hair-brained schemes! What kind of life is that for a raccoon to live?
