Reborn (R!) Bubba, Tusker Tiredon, Selfish(S!) Bubba by me

OG Bubba: *Holding up a picture of a seemingly young anime girl* WHO IS SHE?! IS SHE TWELVE?! 
Badass: No! She's a thousand years ol- 
OG Bubba: *Cocks shotgun* 
Badass: NO! NOOOOOOOOOO-!

Clay: Do you know the ABCs of first aid? 
Dumba: A. Bone. Coming out of the skin is very bad.

Badass, at an awards show: Well, first of all, I’d like to thank Manny, the homie of my life, for telling me Clay was going to win so I shouldn’t bother preparing a speech.

R! Bubba: A mosquito tried to bite me and I slapped it and killed it. 
R! Bubba: And I started thinking. 
R! Bubba: Like, it was just trying to get food. 
R! Bubba: What if I went to the fridge and it just slammed the door shut and snapped my neck? 
Tusker: Are you ok…?

Clay: Does anyone know how to relax? Asking for a friend.

S! Bubba: Well you see, the explanation is perfectly simple and scientific. It was because shut up. Shut up is why.

Badass to Manny: We smell of sweat and loss.

Badass: We’re getting married (platonically), bitches! 
Manny: And we're about to make it everybody else's problem.

Manny: Don’t worry, I have a permit. 
OG Bubba: ...This just says “I can do what I want”.

Clay: Quacking in my boobs over this 
Clay: QUAKING* 
Clay: BOOTS* FUCKER.

Manny: Anybody got any crayons so I can color in my Ph. D.?

Tusker: I only have 6 weeks left to live…
OG Bubba: Oh my god, really?! 
Tusker: It's just a guesstimate based on the choices I've made…

OG Bubba: You’re a loose cannon, Manny. 
Manny: No, I’m not. I’m a cannon, maybe, but a loose cannon? Is that what you think of me? 
Tusker: I think you play by your own rules…
Clay: No way, they think rules were made to be broken. 
OG Bubba: Those are all attributes of a loose cannon. 
Manny: No, I’m just a reckless renegade. R! Bubba is a loose cannon. 
R! Bubba: *smashes a chair* Aah! You shut your trap, Clay! 
Clay: I’d say R! Bubba’s more of a cop on the edge with nothing to lose. That’s an entirely different thing. 
Tusker: Now I’m just confused… Is Manny a loose cannon or not?…
OG Bubba: All right, put on a pot of coffee. We’re gonna get to the bottom of this. 
Clay: *groans* 
R! Bubba: Aw, man.

Clay: :) 
Manny: >:( 
Clay: Turn that frown upside down! 
Manny: ):< 
Clay: Not sure what I was expecting...

Manny: God has let me live another day and I'm going to make it everyone's problem.

R! Bubba: What the fuck. 
R! Bubba: ESPN is showing 2003 national jump rope championship. 
R! Bubba: Who the hell watches jump rope competiti- ooh bouncy.

Clay, to S! Bubba: Are you peanuts? Because I want to boil you alive.

Clay: What starts with F and ends with Uck? 
Manny: No it doesn't. (completely fucking with them)
Dumba: Firetruck! 
Badass: FUCK!

Dumba, holding a kettle: Coffee or tea? 
Clay: Tea. 
Dumba: Wrong! It's coffee.

Badass: I really like Eminem. 
Dumba: I prefer skittles. 
Clay: They are talking about the rapper. 
Dumba: Why would they eat the wrapper?

OG Bubba: Badass, are you drinking… drinking hydrogen peroxide-?
Badass: It says H2O2! That means it’s the sequel to water!

OG Bubba: It's called cauliflower, not ghost broccoli. 
R! Bubba, eyes wide: I know what I saw.

Manny, to OG Bubba: If Badass doesn't say "I'm King of the world" within an hour on that boat, I will give you my next pay check. 
Badass, within 5 minutes of getting on the boat: I'M KING OF THE WORLD!!!

Dumba: We’re going to a candy store?! 
Clay: No! It’s nighttime, candy stores are closed. 
Badass: We’re gonna ROB a candy store?!?! 
Clay, sighing: No-

Tusker: I’m doing my best…
OG Bubba: You’re not doing anything. 
Tusker: Yes… that’s what I’m best at…

Badass: Why aren’t you sleeping?

Manny: I’m too busy plotting your murder to sleep, Badass.

Badass:

Manny:

Manny: ...The nightmares.

Star Hare: "W- was that supposed to happen?!"

Canny Cottontail: "Haha, not in the slightest!"

Star Hare: "... Does this happen often with you?"

Canny Cottontail: "Yeah!"

I did my best to draw Star Hare (left) from @cottonsscaublog 's Curious Critters AU! I also drew her along with my own blue rabbit, Canny Cottontail (right)!

After Star and Canny met, the two decided to (attempt to) fire off a model rocket! Unfortunately, Star turned her back on Canny for 15 seconds. This gave Canny enough time to replace the solid fuel within the rocket with a real, miniature-sized rocket engine. The results are shown above.

(edit: changed it so Star Hare no longer has two left hands)

Excuse me, what time is it?

It’s time for lunch doodles!

I think all the critters should have cute little catchphrases

Something’s caught CatNap’s eye! Wonder what it is?

I need to do more stuff with clever and bubba because their rivalry is so funny to me

Kickin looking Kool!

she’s eepin

Holly singing to help her friends sleep is such a cute idea (holly hibearnate belongs to @anothersmilingcrittersau)

Hoppy, seconds before getting sent to sleepy jail (aka catnap’s house)

Peggi!

doin a little dance

Looks like someone just woke up! He better fix his hair before someone sees it all messy

I have more doodles, but alas, a ten picture limit

so I’ll put the rest in a reblog

[impishbunnidoll]

Are you planning on drawing more of Wally being completing smooth in his crotch region?

Oh!! I didn't realize people were genuinely interested in that! But yeah I do plan to make more :]

That particular Wally (when I draw him) is more canon-ish so I'm hesitant to draw/post that stuff lol

Excerpts from Curious Critters (1969) stories by Patricia Lauber, illustrations by Don Madden

Was finally able to track down a copy of this book! It has some of my favorite interpretations of the fearsome critters of the lumberwoods but it's unfortunately long out of print and kind of obscure (I didn't find any mention of it on most of the sites I checked) which is a shame because it's super charming.
