Taylor Irwin, a muscular male kangaroo wearing black exercise shorts, grimaces and struggles as he does a back squat with a cartoonishly-large dumbbell with five black plates on either side. He's sweating, baring his teeth, his eyes closed, as he tries to lift this immense weight.

Commission for IapetusCas! Irwin very clearly demonstrating that it takes a lot of effort to get a body that looks like that. 🦘🏋️‍♂️

The image is the 119th page of the webcomic, Little Runt. It's the beginning of another flashback, where Taylor Irwin, Nes's Dad, has just won the heavyweight title of the Supreme Fighting League. He cheers as he stands on the ropes at one corner, holding the belt above his head in esctacy. The foreground has photographers all taking pictures, his brown bear coach holding up a #1 finger as he cheers him on from the side, the rhino referee wrapping things up behind him, a rat production coordinator with headphones shouting at someone nearby, and a wolf cameraman and fox presenter strolling into the ring. Bright lights from above flare up as Irwin celebrates, flash bulbs go off in the crowd, and everyone is cheering. "And there we have it, the new heavyweight champion of the world... TAAAYLOOORR IRWIIINNN!!" the suave-looking fox presenter shouts, wearing a blue tuxedo with a black bowtie. He continues, "I know some of ya’ll out there were blabbin’ he made a big mistake electing for his tail to be targeted for this fight! And yet, it was his tail that secured the knockout blow on Roarin’ Ricky!" Roarin' Ricky can be seein the bottom left corner of the frame, a beat-up looking lion who's looking sad and disappointed in himself as a female lion looks to comfort him. The fox presenter leans forward with the mic as Irwin gets off the ropes, "Incredible fight, there, Taylor. How’s it feel?" Irwin responds as he rubs his head and has the belt over his left shoulder, having a look seemingly of disbelief. He pants as he catches his breath, "Unbelievable... I thought my career was over ten fights ago, but here I am? A champion? Are you kidding me?" The fox responds with curiosity, "What changed?" Behind them, a tiger bodyguard looks to ward off a polar bear in a green vest who's getting a little too excited and a little too close.

The 119th page of Little Runt is out, and here we jump back about sixteen years to the very night that Nes's Dad won the heavyweight title of the SFL. What meaning will this scene bring to the story?

Avery, a muscular mountain lion in yellow shorts with a black waistband, is fighting Nes, a muscular kangaroo in black shorts with a teal waistband, as well as black gloves with a teal accent marking on the wrist strap. It's a sanctioned MMA match inside a stadium with a crowd watching and cheering them on, with the ring looking like a standard boxing ring. During this snapshot of the fight, Avery is throwing a knee strike into Nes's abdomen, causing him great discomfort and his cheeks to puff out. In the process, Nes misses a punch wide left on Avery. It looks like Nes is losing the fight so far, evident by his black eye and various bruises (although Avery has a few himself). The image has an epic-looking feeling with the bright stadium lights.

Commission for @altairey.bsky.social, featuring Avery fighting Nes, and getting the upper hand too! Nes is putting in a great effort, but will he be able to turn it around?
