JAVA JAGUAR (a webcomic)
by Matt S. Law (a webcomic creator)
As you all know, I do meticulous research on this strip. So I watched this video entitled "baby chipmunk sounds" in order to have authentic onomatopoeia in baby chip's dialog bubbles. I think we can all agree I nailed this:
Unless this video was made by an 11-year-old and not a zoologist like I assumed. Because, any rational person would listen to that and say "That's a bird." Of course, maybe I'm not the best person to match animals with sounds. I grew up in Hawaii and was in my 30's when I finally figured out that geckos make this noise.
I always assumed when I heard that it was a bird of some kind. And there are about 2.3 quadrillion of these ugly grey geckos in Hawaii making that "chapping" noise and I never realized where it came from.
Okay, enough embarrassing Matt stories. Here's the timelapse video of me drawing today's Java Jaguar strip. As you can see, I went all out in panel 2, drawing never-before-seen poses for both Matt and Java. Usually I can just cut and paste the line art from old strips, but I've never had Java toss himself a snack or Matt intercepting said snack. So these figures were drawn from scratch, just like the cavemen did in their caves.
Boilerplate:
JAVA JAGUAR is a webcomic based on the true story of a talking jaguar cub found in a coffee shop. Yes, I said based on the true story. Java Jaguar is produced by the nomadic cartoonist, Matt S. Law, on his mobile art studio consisting of Clip Studio Paint Pro on a Microsoft Surface Pro 7+.

Created in Clip Studio Paint Pro on a Surface Pro 4. Here is the time lapse video.

You're not alone. I remember during Spring Break trips to Hawaii (a time-honored way for Alaskans to blow their yearly Alaska Permanent Fund dividend checks!) hearing that sound all the time, but just assumed it was birds. Most of the times we came across geckos they either didn't make noise or I assume their noises were mixed in with all the other outside noises.
A gecko is a reptile that sounds like a bird. I think it wants to be a dinosaur.
I saw my first wild chipmunk in New England a couple of years ago. It's one of those creatures I know mostly from cartoons.
You could have sampled the sounds from this. Dig the matching suits!
