This one harkens all the way back to the entry for the letter C.

Yankee Poodle is a member of the Zoo Crew, the team of talking animal superheroes let by Captain Carrot.

Look at those jazz hands!

Truth, Justice, and the unsettling-American-dog-human-hybrid way!

I’d love to see a Zoo Crew revival. Fun, kid-friendly comics are in short supply these day. Scott Shaw! Call me!

That’s right! It’s Captain Carrot, leader of the famed Zoo Crew!

In all his buck-toothed glory!

In all his buck-toothed glory!

I’ve been itching to draw him for a long time now, though this entry was a toss-up between the two Captains– Captain Carrot and Dav Pilkey’s Captain Underpants. I couldn’t translate Cap’n U to my style without making him incredibly creepy… but maybe I’ll post those sketches another time.

Just FYI, I’m still taking suggestions for the rest of the lineup!

Also, big ups to my man Jason Lewis for hooking me up with the old-school Marvel palette used by colorists in the pre-digital days. Thanks!
