Description

I "fake-joined" the Darker Side of Disney Swap at Craftster, which simply means that, while you still have to follow the rules for said event, instead of actually exchanging the item(s) that you made with another member, you're creating it for yourself. The "Fake Swap Craftalong" at Craftster is intended for people that really want to participate in a particular challenge, but, for whatever reason, can't (lack of funds for shipping, having already reached their quota limit for active swaps, wanting to make a certain object/thing but their partner(s) aren't interested in the subject matter, etc.) In my case, I've just been so lazy about producing any kind of artwork lately that I figured having some deadlines hanging over my head would force me to get to work on something, anything, and, thus far, that motivational strategy is working. Or, at least it was, until I bought some new video games . . . my productivity took a steep nose dive after that!

After contemplating several ideas, I suddenly remembered how much I used to love the weasels from 1987's Who Framed Roger Rabbit film. Now, the Roger Rabbit folder on my PC contained nothing but images of Jessica Rabbit (and some rather graphic ones at that), so, I'm not sure what it says about me that, when staring at photos of buxom animated redheads my thoughts immediately turn to homicidal weasels instead.

Like the rest of Judge Doom's infamous Toon Patrol (Smarty, Greasy, Psycho, and Stupid comprise the rest of the quintet) Wheezy is a complete scoundrel, so he certainly fits the swap's theme. On the surface, the Toon Patrol were the law enforcement of Toon Town, but, in actuality, its weasel members were much, much worse than any criminals that they were supposedly "protecting" the animated populace from. Aside from being an all-around rotten critter, Wheezy is also hopelessly addicted to cigarettes, constantly chain-smoking them (often several at once!) Wheezy is also unique in that he was the only weasel in the movie with a female voice actress, June Foray (although she performed him in a harsh, masculine manner, so, you'd never know it without watching the credits).
