Hoppy again, this time from the cover of Fawcett's Funny Animals #2, as at https://comicbookplus.com/?dlid=20526 (page 1). Does this look a little more tightly drawn? So it does. It's not exactly traced, but I did use the original to sketch out the head and shoulder positions and other major joints, reverse-engineering the skeleton. I've come to accept that I'm fair enough on my lines but weak on figuring where to put the lines. Not sure how much of this ``rotoscoping'' I'll do, but I need to at least do some of that if I'm to get up to competent. It's already yielded fascinating surprises, like how his head is smaller than I want to draw it.

That's great; I'm glad the character's getting some modern use. There was a time he was just whispered about in furry circles and rumored to be unpublishable. The story was that nobody was sure who had the rights to the character. Have to suppose the story was wrong or that things got clarified.
Oh, huh. Well, that makes furry fandom's paranoia about the character all the stranger, then.
I hope they'll be able to work some fun business with Hoppy into the Shazam sequel, or the next sequel. They did pretty well slipping in Tawky Tawny the tiger allusions gracefully.

Yeah, back in the 90s there was this irrational fear that the world was conspiring against too-prominent furry characters or furry icons. So, like, you couldn't find a Hoppy comic book, not because he's a minor character from a spinoff of a (then) 50-year-old minor character, but because Something is keeping him down. So it's weird there would be a legend that Hoppy was caught in legal tangles when obviously he wasn't; at most, he just was in a not-popular-enough comic book.
