OK, my hand slipped...and this happened:
SORRY, RANDALL! But there were a few artists on Tumblr who kept drawing Johnny in his "hellhound/barghest" mode, so I had to see what I would do with that. Plus I got into a discussion with a family member while watching re-runs of "Castle", recently, which of course stars Johnny's voice actor, Nathan Fillion, and said family member SWORE that Fillion was from New Orleans, and was shocked to learn that he is in fact, Canadian. He DOES sound very much like the Garden District/Uptown high society of New Orleans, though, which has now firmly established in my head-canon that Johnny grew up in the Garden District of the Monster World's version of the Crescent City, and moved to the Midwest with his parents when they went to work as Scarers at MI(this is according to his official Pixar bio, the part about them working at MI, that is), but Johnny never could get accustomed to that Midwestern weather, after leaving behind the family steamy heat of Louisiana, which is why he wears at least two layers of clothing over FUR. I put him in one of the famed New Orleans "Cities of the Dead", their above-ground cemeteries, because those places are suitably creepy in broad daylight, and when I visited St. Louis Cemetery No. 2(if memory serves me correctly) back in 1997, on a rainy, overcast day, I kept half-expecting to see something like this step out from between some of the tombs! New Orleans does that to ya!
In case anyone was wondering, "Tainted Kitre" is a term used in southern Louisiana, especially by Cajuns, Creoles and Houma Natives, for monsters of all types.
