My Lion King Forum

With these I mean the cubs in comics that don't have a big role in the comic, unnamed and most of them only appear once. How many un-named unknown cubs did you spot in storybooks or comics? Did you give them names or backgroundstories? Or have you even based an OC on them?

Example: in the comic "the talking tree" Rafiki tells Simba a story about an ancient tree who was believed to be able to talk. In Rafiki's speach balloon you see a picture of that tree, a deer, a rodent and a strangely coloured lion cub.

Koraden, from TLKFAA, drew this cub several times and named her Panya, which means "mouse" Inspired by this pic, I've started drawing Panya too, but only once. But I love her weird colouring scheme, and because her personality or story is further unknown, you can use your full fantasy on such character.

Did you guys spot any more unnamed cubs in games, books or comics? Tell us all about it, it'd be great if you'd posted a pic of them too!

edit: I've found some more of them

first pic is from the comic "an unusual choir":


and I also found a few frames with meany cubs who are teasing Simba, from "shooting stars" another TLK comic:

In "An Unusual Choir", Simba has two baby cousins whose genders are never revealed to us. I decided to make them both females and draw them as cubs, making them look as much like their scruffy parents as possible without deviating too far from the Simba and Nala clone look of the other cubs in their pride.

OMG! I had a feeling you were Akril from TLKFFA!

Yep, it's me. There hasn't been that much TLK discussion going on at Lilymud, so I figured I'd jump into the discussions going on here.

8D HI AKRIL!!!!!!

See the cub with the yellowish fur color in the shooting star comic? I adopted and and I call it Zuga (or something like that). I love the unmaned cubs, they look freakin cute!

Edit: Does anyone has a link to the unusual choir comic? I've never heard of it before.

Koradens photobucket, she has more TLK comics in there. Click on the pages to enlarge them. If you wanna see them full-size, click again on them!

have fun reading!

and Akril, I love that drawing, it's really the look of them as in the comic! Do you have more of those subcanon pics?

Thanks!

you're welcome!
if anyone has some pics of more unnamed cubs.... well, I'm curious! I love exploring new characters

There are about eight "mini-cubs" in "Royal Duties". They're about one-third the size of normal cubs, yet they have cub proportions rather than infant proportions. I idly theorized that perhaps some of these cubs are actually cubs from "An Unusual Choir" that were miniaturized by aliens and then relocated to --

-- no, this isn't serious at all.

Picture 2

Aside from all the cubs that have been listed before, there really aren't that many unnamed cubs in the comics, aside from a couple of extras in "The Orphaned Birds". However, two of the cubs in "Shooting Stars" are an interesting pair, since the poor things change design in practically every single panel. The tan one has a scruffy head and no ear rims in one panel, and ear rims and a smooth head in the next. : /

Oh, I almost forgot: there are a couple of female cubs that Nala is playing with in "Dirty Cub".

Thank you! I have a lot of pictures of nameless semi-canon characters, but I don't want to hijack the thread with them, so I'll just post the first two (which contain a lot of text repeating what I've already said, but eh.):
