Description
Krypto really is the Ultimate Rescue Dog, because not only was he saved by Superman from a pretty rough existence in at least one version of things, he has ALWAYS been such a Good Boy that the Super-Dog helps rescue others on a daily basis; there may fans who like their comics so Deadly Serious that they have no room in their hearts for a dog who wears a cape for a living.

I feel profoundly sorry for those poor souls - may they someday let go and allow their Inner Child out to play!

On a slightly more serious note, I've had the odd conviction that Krypto should look a bit less like a common-or-Earthling dog for some little while now but only recently realised WHY one felt that way - quite simply it's because Kryptonians are so Human looking that everything else about their world should look more all the more unearthly simply so that we can accept that YES this is an Alien Planet!

With that in mind I approached Sheather888 with the idea (look up his gallery, you will not regret having done so and it would be very sensible indeed to commission the artist to draw something for YOU too!) and that Good Man was kind enough not to walk away laughing! The results of our discussion - involving, amongst other possibly models, the Thylacine (aka the Tasmanian Tiger), you can see above.

p.s. I WILL be commissioning a caped Krypto at some point, but wanted to show off his slightly unearthly anatomy in the clearest way possible, hence the tragic lack of fabric in this image!
