New TLK comic -- with a surprising new character!

[Chumvikingpride]

The baby's head is strangely coloured. It looks like the lower part of its face is lighter colour than the main coat, the same colour as the muzzle and belly... Or am I seeing things?

I think you are right

Maybe. But the face looks like that in every panel while Sarafina and Nala's faces look normal.

This comic has a lot of coloring mistakes.

haha, the little cub at the end is cute Wonder who it is though..

[Jiirani]

I'd love to know why the cub is there... It's completely useless. I bet the artist just wanted to tease us.

I know that baby cub Sarafina is holding has the same colours as her and Nala, but that doesn`t mean it`s Sarafinas cub. It could easily be the cub of a different lioness in the pride, Sarafinas colours aren`t exactly unique.

Yeah, you're right... We don't get to see other adult lionesses than Sarabi and Sarafina in this comic, so we don't know how they'd be coloured.

True, but we do see the other lionesses in the TLK movie. Most of them have quite similar colouring to Sarafina, but some are darker like Sarabi. My point is that Sarafina is not the only lioness who could have given birth to a light coloured cub.

Well, In the movie, the lionesses in Scar and Mufasa's Pride vary quite considerably, and they look different in almost ever scene, as some have ear rings and some don't etc D:>

We'll, I like to believe it's Mheetu :3 He's my fav character, even though he was cut, so I'd love to have something - Anything - feature him, whether it's him or not ^^ Usually I try to listen to reason, but in this case I'm sticking to him being Mheetu :3

Of course, I understand that.
Everyone is free to believe whatever they want, especially in this case, where there is no proof in the comic about who this cub is. No name or gender is mentioned, so yeah. I can definatly see why some people see that as Mheetu.

:3 I'm glad you do ^^ It's a nice thing to think about, that from my point of view, Mheetu really did make it into something .... I'm ging to so 'official' lol xD

In my eyes they all look quite similar, and I think the variation you describe is mostly due to inconsistencies in design.

It's still stupid have not really given in particular to the female signs

Great Scott -- one large influx of replies, a sudden lull, then I come back to this thread to find that it's expanded to four pages?? Criminy!

To respond to the majority of the responses, yes, Mheetu was the first name that sprang to my mind when I saw that cub, even though it's unlikely that the artist heard of him. I admit that didn't think the cubsitting scenario was that likely since Sarabi and Sarafina are the only lionesses in the comic, and the only babysitters we've seen in the TLK universe are Zazu, Timon and Pumbaa.

In regards to Sarafina and Sarabi's coloring errors: the two of them actually look pretty on-model at the bottom of page 4, but then the artist(s) just had to mess up Sarabi's colors on page 6 and then give Sarafina a face like Sarabi and leave Sarabi's ear rims uncolored on page 8 (which makes me wonder, is the lioness holding the cub really supposed to be Sarafina?). Also, I just noticed that Sarabi's tail is green in the last panel of page 7.

Speaking of colours... There were some funny coloring errors in the comic.

Yeah -- I think this comic's set a new record for coloring errors. (I'm actually putting together a page displaying some of the more amusing coloring errors I've found in various TLK comics.)

And aww at Sarabi calling Mufasa "honey." <3

At first I thought it was Sarafina.

Same here -- and y'know, one of the directors of TLK did say that Nala's father was "either Scar or Mufasa" at the 10th anniversary celebration of TLK...and considering how much Sarabi and Sarafina change designs in the comics, it seems like Mufasa could have easily mistaken one for the other...

I thought the odd coloring on the cub's face was a scanning quirk too, but it seems to be on his face in all three of the panels he is in. By the way, here's the unresized page so you can get a really good look at him.
