The full version of the photo from #13. From left to right: Cruz, Jake, Rai, Ethan, Cody, and Damien.
Cody and Ethan's beach attire from Special #4.
The concept art of the characters from Special #4. Fun facts: The boar is the son of the older boar that kisses Jeremy in #9. Also, the Dingo's fur pattern and design is a reference to Diego from Blotch's webcomic "Dog's Days of Summer," even sporting the same necklace.
I usually don't give names to background characters I make for one strip, so I don't give them a name in case I wind up wanting to use it later. However, I do sometimes think about their motivations.
For example: I imagine the fox is probably straight, but was too high to care about paying to get a kiss from a guy. The boar, like I said, is the son of the boar who's friends with Jeremy. I imagine the boar doesn't actually know what his father is up to, and therefore couldn't make the connection. Cody probably could make the connection, but he doesn't really think into it, since it's probably not really polite to assume those kinds of things. The Dingo, I imagine, kisses Cody so roughly because it's not typical to see a gay kissing booth in public and he's just really excited to show off his rainbow pride. If he's gonna pay to kiss a guy, he's gonna do it right! Not to mention he just worked out on the beach with a bunch of sweaty guys in the beating sun, so he's got a lot of testosterone pumping through his veins. He probably just got caught up in the moment.
