#burk

"Burk" is a slang term for a stupid person. (Origin British)

"Hardt" means forested hillside or mountain forest. (Origin German)

I had originally thought of "Hart" in relation to his surname which would've meant "stupid deer". I thought that highly amusing considering Monroe's wolf nature. (And how perceptive of the Blutbad when he chastises Nick!)

"Stupid forest" seems just as endearing though. Definitely notable in the show's obsessive theme of using the heck out of Portland's foliage!

But then I found this on Behind The Name: Derived from the Old German elements burg "fortress" and hart "hard, firm, brave, hardy", or perhaps from the Old English cognate Burgheard. Saint Burkhard was an 8th-century Anglo-Saxon missionary to Germany (a companion of Boniface) who became the first bishop of Würzburg.

This is Burk! It's been ages since I've made a finished drawing of him, but he's technically my oldest character! He dates back to 2007, though I changed his breed from a dachshund to an affenpinscher and he used to be called Winnie. I don't have any big plans for this character's future, but it was nice to draw him again.
