"Why so grumpy, little lion?"





I realized i'd never drawn Buck with his best girl



horsedad lubs his grumpy widdle wildberry





Alongside his wife Radhi, Buck has traveled the globe, conducted enough wildlife research to fill a library, fought off countless poachers, rescued and returned priceless native artifacts, and won the respect of countless people across the world.....but out of all these things, he considers Eliza, his daughter, to be his single, greatest accomplishment. He's enough of a shameless sap to tell her that often, even when she's an oh-so-serious teenager. He's fond of telling her "Mioyo mia itakuwa chache sana kubeba upendo wangu wote kwako.", which translates to "A hundred hearts would be too few to carry all my love for you." Eliza likes to groan at the awful, cheesy sentiment (and daddo's atrocious accent butchering the language), but she might just smile. A little. When nobody's looking.
