Did someone say....
...birthday?
I almost forgot that today (er, yesterday for some users by now) is Sam's birthday. And the ill-fated date of the cancellation of "Freelance Police". I've always chuckled at the irony
So happy birthday Sam!

I've also wondered as well :

How did you guys decide the birthdays of the characters, as printed on the time cards in 205

By the way, how does Sam have only one birthday a year if he's a dog?
There's not equivalents? I mean, 1 Dog Year is like he was a human and lives 4 years, right? (Am I using actual words?)
No, I mean, aren't their "years" significantly shorter?
Hm, I wonder if dog years even apply to an anthropomorphic cartoon dog?
But years are a way of counting time that doesn't depend on how long humans live (a year is a year whether you're male or female even though females statistically live longer), but on the earth revolving around the sun. The earth doesn't go faster for dogs, so no, they don't have more birthdays. But if you want to wish them a happy sixmonthiversary every six months or something, be my guest.
(And of course Sam and Max are different. They've outlived both their species' life expectancy by a lot, considering they're constantly portrayed as being around 30).
Except you're using a "1 year = 4 years" estimate while most people I've heard use a "1 year = 7 years" estimate.
Yeah, I notice that too... I just checked with my sister and yes, I made a mistake. But anyway, the idea still remain, right?
right?
Except that you'd be right that a 15 year old dog would be closer to 60 than 105. Okay, maybe more than 60, but still.
It's an approximation that works for only a few years, since before it's not enough (a one year-old dog is equivalent to more than a 7 year old human) and after it's too much (a 15 year old dog is younger than a 105 year old human).
I find it much easier to remember something like "dogs have a 15 year lifespan and mature at six months" or something. I might be wrong with the ages, I'm more of a cat person, but for cats that would be "cats mature at 6 months and live about 18 years". Here, now you know about how old a cat is compared to a human just by hearing an age (matures being "matures sexually", not "is a full-grown adult", by the way). Seems like a better way to estimate it than with a number that's only right half the time (if that much).
At least you are getting that easier... really...
Well, they ARE furry.
Now I want to see fanart of them as humans.
But I'm giving max a white shirt and white pants in that case
I WAS REFUSING DOING THAT SINCE I BECOME A FAN!
Now you are give me permition
No one is stop you of doing it. Be my guest.
Speaking of an opportunity to be self-deprecating, until recently I played Sam in a LiveJournal roleplay where all the characters have to be human, and another player drew a bunch of the characters including Sam, and here's the drawing. And here's the post it was in (image heavy). He's not wearing his normal outfit because that's another part of the roleplay's premise, but it is him.
Do it do it do it.
I warn you, my style is heavily infuenced by anime, and I'm a declared Sam fangirl: If I do him bishie as a dog, I don't know as a human...
Sam's is the date of the Freelance Police cancellation, as you mentioned.
I know that cannot be just coincidence!
I am pretty sure that (or something like it) is actually said to boot at some point somewhere 0_0.
Besides, I'm a big Sam fangirl too.
And we have a winner, ladies and gentlemen! *gives cookie*
That makes two of us! (three on the fangirl factor) Are you my long lost twin?
You know, I never really took into consideration the whole "dog year" thing. I guess his anthropomorphism translates for me as him being more "human" than "dog". Or the fur suit thing.
I prefer the former.
(it's not quite done yet)
Is it just me or do they look like clones of Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes. I like Sam's look the best.
BTW, after reading what Sam's birthday is, man. He has the worst birthday ever.
Never thought I'd see the day where my art was posted (and praised!) on a forum without me posting it. I'm flattered.
Heeehhhh WELCOME!
Is it just me, or does Max actually look more adorable as a Human? It's probably just because he looks about 5, but still, great job
