Lionellion would be an awesome name or maybe wolfyrion would be awesome.
SCRUFFLOLF IS THE BETTER NAME
I MEAN SCRUFFOLD
SHSS….. I MEAN SCRUFFEL
THATTS NOT WRONG NOW :D ;)
Scrufflebeast. Definitely.
ScruffleDoom
I also like
Scrufflewolf (hellhound’s suggestion)
the new scrufflebeck is awsome
In my opinion –
1)no name change
2)if a name change is COMPLETELY necessary, have (outer) Joe do it.
I say freaking Thornclaw or something more fierce, cause what he lost in cuddly cuteness he made up for in freaking awesome plant wolf!
Scrufflebeck’s badassness level just increased 100%!
I needz a pet like that!
gimme nowwwww!!!
I also can’t believe nick is thinking he can take a machine city on his own…
LEROY JENKINS!!!!!
Let it stay scrufflebeck and put him a headband like joe sometimes and get him the alternative nickname
Scrufflebeck must always be scrufflebeck except when fighting crime :)
(btw why dont u try like inuyasha`s fox, that becomes big and small at will :))
Scrufflebark maybe?
i am thinking
1)thornclaw
2)dash
3)snips
4)shadow
5)scrufflebeck
i would also like in include the name
spike
My suggestion:
1 – No namechange
2 – Shadowclaw
3 – Shadowolf
4 – Shadowhound
I like shadows. XD
Or Powerclaw, because of Powerfist :D
whats this scrufflebecks evolving
Congratulations, you got me to leave a comment. (I’ve been loving this comic, I just usually don’t take time on each comic to comment; it would double or triple the time it takes to get through my feeds :)
The doctor has no right or reason to give Scruffle a name. He doesn’t even act like he KNOWs Scruffle’s name, he’s just been calling him “little guy”. So let the doctor call him “big guy” now and keep moving. Scrufflebeck remains Scrufflebeck until Joe (or at least Bernie / Jess, who financially/legally own him) say otherwise.
Also, I do not like this doctor; unless he learns his lessons and returns to being a useful character soon, I say he has no right or reason to SURVIVE, much less go around renaming main characters. But then, YOU’RE the author; you know what’s important better than we do, and for that reason I hadn’t voted on anything till now. I figured if it’s up for vote then it only has sentimental value to the plot; nothing more. This time, however, that sentimental value was more than enough. I <3 Scruffle. I </3 the doctor. Hence my vote, and my comment.
Keep up the excellent work :)
Also, sorry for the wall of text. Line breaks apparently don’t work in this comment section as I expected them to; the above was supposed to be about 4 paragraphs <:)
Champion. Seems like something Nick would choose… It does’t mean all the characters have to stick with the name, just because one decides it’s time for an upgrade.
I have only ever put one comment on here before and it was for a typo. But i have to say Scrufflebeck, since he was introduced, has been my favorite character and to change his name is just a heinous crime to me. Scrufflebeck should stay Scrufflebeck.
hmmm I like the idea of a subtle name change. Like Scrufflebeck to Scruffleback. This doesn’t change how it sounds much and adds a bit of badass to the connotation of the name.
ie. at your beck and call ==> a large back to follow behind (sorry if i messed up the wording on the second saying)
Love the transformation! By the way I think the name should stay, but if not how about just letting Nick call him something different or more scientific sounding. He’s not the coolest guy so it doesn’t have to be greatest nickname….like….Mimort the “Mi” short for Mimic and the “Mort” for death or something along those lines.
SPIKE!
I like lurkcat’s comment quite a bit.
The Doctor’s not the coolest guy around, so I don’t think he should give it a cool name. Therefore, I vote for “Bingo”.
Congratulations, your Scrufflebeck evolved into…
Well, Scrufflebeck is a bit bigger now, so …<<>>
Oh Also New reader, Just read from the beginning , Great series. You couldn’t adapt the games to work on Android. shouldn’t be too hard as Android reads Flash, Would just need an HTML Wrapper, and a few more buttons..Please
Let’s Try SCRUFFLEBECK
how about… ONWARDS TO MACHINE CITY!!! i really want to see a machine city…
or wait for the next scene…
Scanis.
S from Scrufflebeck.
Canis (Dog, Wolf, Etc.)
NOOO! SCRUFFLEBECK MUST BE SCRUFFLEBACK!
SCRUFFLEBECK dont change him name cuae scrufflebeck is the best name for him and IF you change hes name let joe do it not the stupid guy nick!!!
I vote same name or Scrufflebark.
Edit: Blargh there needs to be a edit button. Reason for changing it to Scrufflebark is the plant ref (bark for those who are absolutely dull and don’t get it, such as many youtubers for example)
Why do people keep saying “Make Joe give his name!”? You guys DO realize that Joe’s NOT THERE, firthermore that he’s – in all cases – dead, best case scenario he’s in a coma until his body heals by itself, and that Author Joe asked what the Herr gut doktor should name him, ’cause y’know, he’s actually there with the pooch!
I also vote for letting him stay Scrufflebeck, no real reason to change it.
>Scanis.
>S from Scrufflebeck.
>Canis (Dog, Wolf, Etc.)
Spoo.
S from Scrufflebeck.
And poo from a dog.
Oxypoopper… im just sayin!
And get jou alive in max 3 sences then hes be epic and find scruffle and give him no new name but more love and then there MURDER NICK hahahaha awsome
I like Scruffleback. Very subtle letter switch but still sounds like the original name
Hmmm the dog looks like a lion now.
Simba maybe?
I vote that Scrufflebeck gets angry and eats Nick for the attempted name change. Or at the least maims him.
Scrufflebeck X
I vote Scrufflebadass!
Scrufflebeck has digivolved XD
