Comments
Alan Cole: Does everybody remember/have the sketch of Babe Jr.?
Jose Loeri: Yep.
David Welcher: Yeah.
Alan Cole: So...not really much to say about it truthfully. It really seems spot on to me.
Jose Loeri: It was a great one-off. Originally Babe was supposed to be a man in an Ox suite but I can't remember what I told Montos. I think he figured he was a
human Ox or something and I just went with it because it looked tight. The jump suit was his idea. But it worked for me though.
David Welcher: I thought so too Jose. That was Montos calling an audible. It turned out hot!
Alan Cole: I like the concept of a person wearing an Ox suit, but being an actual Ox-person will work just as well if not better.
David Welcher: That's what I'm saying. Essentially he WAS supposed to be a Rhino knock-off but that man Montos made it happen for real.

Alan Cole: Well, I guess the Babe Jr. sketch is put to rest. Nothing really disheartening to say about it. Oddly enough, we all like it.
Jose Loeri: I just gotta say that Babe Jr. is my freakin' man!!! Can't wait to get started on him.
Alan Cole: Thought you already did in SDF #1.
Jose Loeri: There's a lot to do with him. His origin story alone is off the chain.
David Welcher: Oh you did one out for that man?
Jose Loeri: Oh yeah! I thought I sent that to you a while ago? I don't know if I have a file. Might be an email though. I'll get it to you though.
David Welcher: That's cool.
