Getting Along (Sort of)

A little idea I had considering Elmer and Crikey's relationship. If you've seen other drawings I made, you'd know Elmer is pretty much Crikey's favorite punching bag. But while I was trying to do more Robot and Monster fanart and try to get back into it, I was kind of wondering...what would they be like if they got along? Or at least tolerated each other. In this, I figured Crikey just didn't feel like beating up Elmer at the moment (even bullies have their days) but didn't want him to run away just in case he gets in the mood so he'd be carrying around Elmer all day to save him as a punching bag for later, but to everyone else it looks like they've become buddies or something. 

I just wanted an excuse to draw bully characters being cute with their favorite victim, I guess.
