This November, Joe Raccoon Comic turns one year old.  Two stories, the original some remember but was scraped around May. 

The characters themselves are older. Here's the ages of the characters from their last finalization design date.


Commissions

This summer I am taking commissions. 

How much do they cost? 

I'd like to say I have very competitive prices.

FREE,Free,free,free,free,free

I will take what comes, 3-5 a month depending on what I got. Maybe more.  I can be fast.  Hopefully get your picture out the next day.  I do only family friendly pictures so don't get any ideas.  I have examples down in the EXAMPLE COMMISSIONS and COMMISSIONS folders.

Information on what I do is on my forum,(link provided).   

8 so far. 

Currently OPEN.

The Cast

Joseph Coonson
Joseph Coonson

Joseph Coonson

Species: raccoon

Origin: southern California

 

Me.  I've lived in southern California all my life.  I used to do self taught medical work.  Mainly for emergency purpose. Not a formal occupation.  I still do some work though, Philip being the my main patient.  Till brings his little brother over when he gets hurt.  I currently work as staff at a local warehouse.  I hope to become chef. 

I like to collect things, car models, swords, military items.  I like working and so I keep myself busy with arts.  Also like building things, started with building blocks, now I hope to build my own horseless carriage. 

I own some pets, my main ones being Grendolin and Megasis. 

 

Hobbies: Art, autos, COOKING

 

 

 


Laura Penelope Coonet
Laura Penelope Coonet

Laura Penelope Coonet

Age: 22

Origin: unknown

Laura's a very nice girl,  in Ryan's words a "southern charm".  Toward me she likes to tease. But in all, she has a touch to her teasing thats enjoyable.  Rather fun to be around.  She's overall a friendly person. 

 

Hobbies:  Clothe making, getting together with friends, book reading to children


Sibra Ann Husky
Sibra Ann Husky

Sarah Husky

Age: 38

State of Orgin: Montana

My mom.  Well not exactly but I stay with her all the time.  Me and Husky met when I was 3.  We met simply by meeting eachother and fell in love instantly.  She's very sweet and good to me and always has been there. 

She is VERY MOTHERLY, the definition of it, escpecially when it comes to little kids.  She's well loved by many.  She isn't married or has ever been or wants to be. I'm glad, I like it being simple and she likes it this way too.  She really enjoys family time, so she gets a little nervous when I don't get home.  But I love her very much and she loves me.

Hobbies:

famliy time,  

having some of her friends come over to the house, 

house projects,

clothe making,

CARS "her favorite passtime",

making sure Grendolin doesn't tear up the house, 

 "she's multi-talented person"


Susan Fennic
Susan Fennic

Susan Fennic

Age: 38

Species: Fennic Fox

Origin: southern California

Susan is like an aunt to me.  Her and Sarah are like sisters. They met when Sarah moved here and work together as homedisgners. Susan work more in outdoor design.  Susan is very small, around 4' 5".  This just adds to her cuteness.

She is very loveable. Very good to me and spends time with me whenever possible. She never seems out of energy, always up and about.  Love making clothes. 

Hobbies: making clothes, gardening

 


Philip Fox
Philip Fox

Philip Fox

Age:20   Origin: Nevada

My friend Philip.  We've been friends since we were young.  He's very outgoing and talkitive.  Though sometimes lazy.  He likes to be the jokester and get people laughing, even at his own expence. He's likes testing the foods I make. He's likeable and harmless. He loves Sarah like a mother, so he often mooches, but Sarah loves him too.

Hobbies: fooling around, anything that catches his interest, Mooching

Fears: snakes


Till and Frill
Till and Frill

Till and Frill

Age: 22 and 8

Species: Horned Frill lizard

Origin: southern California desert

Gender: male

They live next door.

Till:

Till is a friend of mine.  He lives with his younger brother Frill.  Till is a bit proper sometimes coming off as strict but once you get to know him, he's a good friend.  Unfortunatly I can recieve his tougher side understandably, when our pets get in his yard. He dosen't like Grendolin and he and Grendol poke at eachother. But overall, he's a good sport and often comes over on the weekends for games.  

Hobbies: games, sports

Frill: 

Frill is a good kid.  The only child I can stand to be around.  Well mannered, polite, and trustworthy.  He's playful and energetic as any child. Him and Grendolin get along quite well.  Frill often plays with Grendolin. He's probably the only child not afraid of Megasis.  Sarah often babysat him when his brother was at work so we know eachother well. 

Hobbies: video games,  playing with Grendol, playing with his older brother     

 


Ryan Foxson
Ryan Foxson

Ryan Foxson

Age: 25

Origin: Southern California

 

I've known Ryan for good while now, a good friend.  We can't help but pick on eachother.  He's got good competive nature that helps push me to seceed.  Sometime I can't help but hate him.  But in all honesty, I don't trust anyone as much as him.  Good when you put him to work and can find out anything.

 

Hobbies: Hanging around friends, games(board games, cards,ect)


Grendolin
Grendolin

Grendolin (Grendol)

age: unknown

origin: unknown

species: unknown

gender: male

Grendolin is our pet.

We don't know what Grendol is.  He just appeared one day in the yard(Possibly lured out by the oddities of Thorn and Dozer). Till, Philip, and Ryan call him a gremlin,(Till calls him a nasty little gremlin).  Sarah calls him a StormHound because of his markings. He some kind of hound. Rather sinister in appearance, he's not so bad.

Grendolin likes run around and play.  Since he is,,,well whatever he is, he often finds zero challenge in conventional games. So we modify games to suit him and his special needs. He is definity something different.  He is extremely fast and strong, out running cars on the road. Tennis balls fail under his powerful jaws.  Manhole covers and cannon balls are his toys.  He's firebreather, so thats something.  He's also quite smart.  He dosen't like Till for some reason, so Grendol annoys him.  Still, he can show a gentle side.  

He likes Frill, Till's younger brother.  He plays with Frill and enjoys Sarah's company. He can lounge around and can be pleasant.

(Given the right precautions, he's harmless, well mostly)


DOZER
DOZER

Dozer

Age: ?

Species: was a cat

  Dozer is our guard cat. He was found heavily injured when we found him (possibly hit by a car).  I performed the best medical work I could do.  He didn't wind up looking much like a cat afterwards.  He's quite a brute, very strong, hence his name Dozer.  He is VERY large for a cat, he's as large as a large dog.

  He is rather docile despite his mean appearance, but poke at him and he will get mean.  He stays outside most of the time.  He's a bit distructive without trying.


Thorn
Thorn

Thorn

Age: unknown

Origin: probably from around the neighborhood

Species: (was) cat

 

Sarah's pet.  Thorn is also a medical creation.  Like Dozer, he was heavily injured when we found him.  We assume he is a younger cat because of his size, and his imence curiosty.  He is playful and overall acts like any ol' cat.  Although what I had done to save him, left him with increased agility, so we go out to the desert to play so he won't go crashing into things.

Hobbies: playing, catching strings,

1'st appearance c25


Heather Roo
Heather Roo

Heather Roo

Age: 23

Origin: southern California

Heather is Luara's best friend. Heather is the first friend Laura made in California, she also lives a few houses down from her.  She's kind of clumsy when trying to "walk", hopping in close quarters is also tricky for her.  Perhaps used to more open spaces.  She's a shy woman, but sincere and polite.

 


Emily Coyote and Tiger
Emily Coyote and Tiger

From Joseph's point of view:

Emily Coyote

Age:21   Home: Southern California

Emily is a close friend of mine. She very friendly and gets along with many people.  She very good with kids and babysits often.  She is very motherly and very matured.  She can annoy some kids though as I saw by being so motherly.  But that depends on the kids. 

(Emily's View)

Tiger:

Age: 4   Home: A few houses from mine

I've been babysitting Tiger sence he was 2 when his family moved in.  He's a very energetic boy when he's happy.  He also well behaved.  I love him very much.  He enjoys running around and videogames, candy is a favorite thing.  Laura seems to like him, I can always use help babysitting, as I have other kids to baby sit.

Re: Recipes

Seafood Pasta

 

Ingredients:

1 lb pasta (any type)

7-12 green onions

2 tsp. minced garlic

1 lb. scallops

1/2 lb. shrimp

2-3 tbls. sherry

1 bayleaf

1 1/2 tsp. thyme

1 tsp. black pepper

2 tsp. cornstarch

 

Intruction:

1. Start with boiling water for pasta. Cook pasta and leave ready.

2. In wok, heat oil and minced garlic, chop green onion and start cooking in garlic oil mix.

3. Mix in scallops, shrimp, sherry, thyme, bayleaf, and let simmer until all items are cooked, around 3-6 minutes. DON'T over cook. Shrimp and scallops will turn to rubber. If you like scallops add more if you like, scallops shrink, A LOT.

4.  Add in pepper and salt to taste.

5. Stain food out food and SAVE liquid.  Add cornstarch to liquid and let thicken. Once thick add food back in. Stir to coat food. 

6. Now add pasta and stir to coat.

7. Serve hot.

 

Tips: Grated Parmeasan cheese on top is good.  Some soy sause is good too.  I've never tried rice in place of pasta but you could try and let me know if it works.

Recipe Details  Thyme Chicken

Makes:

Prep Time:

10-20 min.

Cook Time:

1 to 1 1/2 hour

Ready In:

Servings:

0

Ingredients

Directions

  1. fully thawed, clean, and dry chicken.
  2. Using cold or room tempurature butter rub the chicken with a generous amount.
  3. Sprinkle on the thyme and pepper depending on you taste but I use about a tablespoon. Then a quick dash of bayleaf if desired. Then cover the chicken with matzah mix till nicely coated.
  4. Place the chicken in a covered dish and in a 400'F preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours.
  5. With in the last 10 to 20 minutes uncover the chicken and continue baking. Sprinkle on a little more matzah mix for more crispy skin.
  6. Take out and enjoy.
  7. For potato and carrot side:
  8. Cube potatoes and slice carrots.
  9. Roughly cover potatoes and carrots in butter, thyme, bayleaf, and matzah mix. In cover container bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour in a 400'F oven. Bake seperate or with chicken.

Footnote

Using cold or room tempurature butter help's it stick to the chicken. 45 minutes to a hour for cornish hen. Don't be afraid to get your hands dirty, use your hands to spread the butter.1 to 1 1/2 hour for a full size hen. Uncovering the chicken late keeps it moist but gives a crunch to the skin.
Recipes
I love to cook.  So I figure to share some of the recipes I've made.  These are simple recipes and you can adjust these recipes to your taste.  Maybe a few a month will be added.  You can try and leave some comments about these in my forum.
Re: News Section
Well here's my most loved character, Sarah Husky.  Her personality may seem a little flat but she'll perk up more.  She's a little nervous that Joseph hadn't gotten home. She's my second oldest character, three years now.
