From the fancy-dancy website www.AGNUSandLUPI.com (http://www.agnusandlupi.com):
Agnus & Lupi, where aggressive motivation takes place!
Agnus Bidens and Lupi Funus are best friends and even work together. They love to chat and work out solutions to Earth's and the Universes' most perplexing problems. They have yet to solve the perplexing predicament they have of scaring off all their clients... you see they are motivational engineers and are quite graphically animated about their activities.
They aim to succeed. With what do they aim with is the biggest problem of all!
This is a toon about a humanized sheep named Agnus Bidens and a grey wolf named Lupi Funus. They are best friends and even work together. They also like to let-fly-the-mouth, fists and other solid implements of doom :D Its a Tom-n-Jerry style toon with lots of up-to-date dialog, chating... and aggressive motivation :argh:

Good to see you back! I really enjoyed the last bunch of strips in the lab... the animated versions were fun too.
And this is a brand new strip! Isn't the sheep a little disadvantaged? Or is he a particularly tough sheep?

Thanks Duddlebug! Yes he's one ba-aa-d sheep (sound pun intented :D )! Just check out his huge hand-hoofs... I would hate to get hit by those :D :D :D

Oh yeah, and Agnus likes to hide lots of things in his wool... like baseball bats, anvils and stuff like that :wip:

I love it! The old cat vs. mouse and cat vs. dog thing has been done to death.
I especially like Agnus' Hoof of Doom! :twisted:

I'm working on it :thumbsup: Should have installment #3 up before Sunday :cool:
I was attempting to introduce a new character and it threw me off track. Now I'm backtracking... I keep trying to do too much and end up buried and bewildered. I'm going for a minimalist approach so I won't get distracted and so I can polish it and then take on more. Hope that made sense. :cry:

Um. . . they sure fight a lot, don't they?:rolleyes:
I'd like to see longer story arcs -- like maybe a get rich quick scheme that nearly works. Build up some suspense and THEN it all falls apart because they start a fight. If they just fight at the end of each 3-panel strip it will get stale. No crits on the art, though. That's always great. :thumbsup:

Yes, I needed to establish the fact that they fight at the drop-of-a-hat. :D :wip:
I'd like to see longer story arcs...Hmm, yes... I think I'm actually working on that... though I'm not sure... heh. I have this big picture in my head but I need to hash it out (I can actually write fairly well as I did good in all my English classes in college... but I always had to get the professor to help me sort through my tangled mind... I think I need to put my head in a vice and squeeze it real tight like :D). Sigh, this is what kills me every time... the story. They sort of happen as I draw.
I'll see what I can do :)

UPDATED... installement#004 is online. :)
I modified "installment #4". The jump in dialog between panels #2 and 3 was too great in the original. Therefore I moved panel #2 to the #3 spot and created a new #2 panel to make a better bridge between #1 and 3.
Now the punch-line from #2 is at #3 position and works much better, I think.
Thats all.

I've been working on character design as I received some criticism from a local. There was some disdain that the sheep's feet were not cloven and that the wolf only had an upper body and a cape. I explained that the "cape" were his overalls but it did not fly. I worked up some cloven feet for Agnus, but as much as I attempted to square off Lupi's feet, I couldn't be satisfied... so his feet stay minimalistic. :p
Here are the latest character turns:
