29/100 - Meeting a new friend

It seems like we are working our way backwards through this story line. In this panel the astronaut character meets his furry friend, who, as we already know, will grow much bigger. And they are being introduced by this character I haven't named yet. I may want to rewrite the story of day 27 - expectation to say that furry friend emerged from one of the dark pits.
One day at the time, that's how this story is emerging, not the smoothest progress but I thank you for following along.
This one is 3.5" by 4". Available here (update: sold).
