I was very inspired by a comic called 100 Deeds - the story of a cheetah named Irving who was a bit of a jerk in life. He died, and lost his spots. In order to earn his spots back, he needs to do good deeds. Early in his travels he encounters a gazelle named Brian, who tags along for his adventures.
actually, I think Brian is technically a "Thompson's Gazelle" ... a particular variety of gazelle native to africa that cheetahs like to eat. they're nearly as fast and very agile.
but yes, it's a very fun comic.
"antelope" was a misprint.
just been watching too many cheetah nature documentaries.
