Throgor has trained many animals before, but he’s definitely taking on bigger and badder pets now. Then again, going “bigger and badder” seems to sum up the Sinister Monster Doom Legion these days.
What do you think he should name that tiger?
Ooh, last panel? Nicely done to highlight the power issues!
I did that? Huh…well, I’ll steal the credit for it, regardless!
If there is a female tiger, or if the bear is female, Lyssa should be considered. An ancient Greek Goddess of rage, fury, and rabid animals is right up Throg’s idiom if he is to have such pets.
Also, it would reflect upon a Throg being a bit more deeply educated in ancient culture than he would ever want anyone to realize. Something so exciting that the chance to name a tiger/bear might prompt him to forget about keeping up his guard.
Come to think of it, I think only one of Throgor’s pets has ever been named (Cecil the gibbon), or at least had their name mentioned to the readers. For all we know maybe he does name his beasties “Persephone” or “Kalevala”.
Lyssa could als be the name of an exotic dancer (that Throgor would abduct).
Name it muffin!

Depends. Is Throgor a fan of fine breakfast cereals?
I don’t really eat cereal anymore, but if I were to go back to that then Frosted Flakes (or a cheaper, non-brand name alternative) would be in order. Frosted Flakes rocked.
What is YOUR favorite breakfast cereal, kiddies?
Anything sugary and Jack Daniels.
Do they still make Quisp?
Hmmmm – His Napoleon complex is at a new high. Time to get him back to earth.
He could always go to that Star Trek planet that had the Napoleon guy (or whatever the deal with that was…I dunno)!
Flumpsy Wumpsy.
Snoobity Woobity.
That tiger is a beauty indeed. Very good artwork,man!
Thankya! I realized afterwards that it’s a tad small for a Siberian tiger (let’s assume it’s not fully grown), but what the hey.
I’m putting my vote in for Putin. Former KGB turned President of the Motherland. Because that’s both horrifying and hilarious. The Red Army is STRONGEST!
If it’s a cat, how about Vladimir Purrin’? Eh? EHHHH?!
“Plot Advancer The Savage”. Call it a hunch.
As long as something gets the ball rolling…
White tigers? Maul? Too soon?
Seeing a poncey ‘magician’ animal trainer getting mauled is never “too soon”.
I wonder if Throgor wants that shipment for pets….or lunch?
My roommate in college was the son of a hunter, meaning we ended up getting a lot of fish and game in our freezer. He let me taste bear meat once, and…yeeeeah, not really something you want to slap in a sandwich (not even ketchup could save it)!
Larry. Remember the commercial?
“Sorry, Larry….. You tiger now!”
Ummmmmm…someone want to fill me in on this one?
I’d probably name one Fuzzball and the other Hairball, and the bear Grumpy. The first two because that’s what I call every cat, and the last because Grumpy Bear was hilarious. I’d also likely get mauled by a bear while trying to dye it blue, but that’s another issue.
Remember kids…… wild animals are wild. Even the best trained one can snap and revert to base instincts at the drop of a hat. Never trust any carnivore larger than your foreleg……. and be wary of the smaller ones, too.
There are so many instances of people feeling like they can trust a large predator and end up mauled. It’s a shame, too, because they have loving intentions, but remember that loving nature and respecting it sometimes involve different actions.
If you need an animal to pet and huggle, there’s plenty of cats and dogs that need owners. They’d appreciate your cuddly-wuddliness more than that polar bear would!
Also a good rule of thumb for dealing with Throgor himself.
