Today 25 years ago, I was no longer an only child. I had to learn how to share my toys, watch as my Strawberry Shortcake pop-up book was destroyed, get kicked in the teeth by little cowboy boots, throw dirt clods, and kill the other dinosaur in "Bubble Bobble" with lighting. Wuv u baby bro.
Slush Puppie for you, since Sea Fair apparantly has you holed up in your apartment.
Read about Slush Puppie.
Look at Slush Puppie. He used to be really cute, the one on wikipedia looks weird. I guess cute doesn't sell anymore. :(
"Slush Puppie" is the official drink of tractor drivers. Now being sold at "Bob's Korner", in Othello, WA.

Yay Slush Puppy!!! You need to be the official re-designer for that pup.
I remember slush puppy =) Awesome pic.
aaawww Slush Puppies!!! my local shop used to seel about 8 flavours, and you could have them all together, it was called a Frankenstein and they'd put sweets in there to!
I used to live on slush puppies!
Love the redesign!

I remember when I first had a slush puppie, it rocked my world at the age of six. It was that great mix between ice and soft-drink, but it was ice that wasn't in cubes! since then for 10 years I searched for that mysterious drink again, not knowing what it was at the time, lol.
But I don't drink sugar drinks these days, so, eh, whatever, it's all good. But slush puppies are still alive, well, and prolific over here in Oz, I guess it's because we're the nation of imbred farmers and their tractors that they are married to, hahaha
cheers, thanks for this ride down memory lane with your awsome rendition of SP.

Yay slush puppies
I haven't had a Slush Puppie in years, I've only seen them at "Bob's Korner", but apparantly they are big in Europe. My favorite was the Lemon-Lime.
LFW- Nothing wrong with inbred farmers, without food society would fall apart. Unless you hate civilization I guess.
everything should be redesigned by you!
you artwork makes me want to simultaneously cut my run and draw right now and cut my hands off because i'll never be as good as you.
annoying question: what do you use for inking?
That puppy actually makes me want to buy an artificially flavored ice treat. I smell marketing! Brianne Drouhard LE Slush Puppy cups $2.99 for large! 1 flavor only no refills.
Cute Slush Puppy!
Your Slush Puppy is so cute! When I was a kid, I got them at the local amusement park in NH. I always wondered why I never saw them sold anywhere else.
Abby- Yay you have Slush Puppy memories too. Maybe Slush Puppy machines were cheaper to run, and we didn't have any 7-Eleven stores where I grew up. Maybe Mom and Pop convenience stores had Slush Puppy instead?
CraigP- I don't want my artwork to cause self-mutilation. :( Don't do it.
I use Micron pens for inking. You can get them at most art/drafting stores, and Aaron Bros.
I used to have Slush Puppies as a child back at Lake Elsinore in SoCal... at the family's summer... errr... lean-to. At the mini-mart we used to frequent, they let you choose the amount of syrup you enjoyed on your puppy. I currently live in NC and met a man from Lake Elsinore... I mentioned Slush Puppies at the "M&M market" and we both lit up and almost embraced... we leaned in for a hearty stranger SP handshake.
Slush Puppies bring the world together.
Your illustration of sir puppy is brilliant, and sort of brings a tear to my eye... it's magic.
I live in Holland and here they sell Slush Puppy @ (fun)fair & some snack counters. If I'm right, they sometimes use the image of the puppy you posted :). Other times there's only a sign with the words "Slush Puppy"... boooooring!
I remember that I always wanted blue Slush Puppy when I was a child. You get a blue tongue from the blue stuff ^_^
Your Slush Puppy looks awesome! I like the colors you use very much, love it ^_^
