| Sibling Rivalry by bondageincomcs |
Sandy and Bud Ricks are the sons of Porter Ricks, chief ranger at Coral Key Park and Marine Reserve. They were both characters in a 1964 television series, produced by Ivan Tors Production, about their adventures with their bottle-nose dolphin Flipper.
In the 1964 series, Sandy's and Bud's job was to appear to translate for the dolphin and to get into trouble so that the animal star could rescue them. The series lasted three seasons. However, I would have preferred more episodes with Sandy in trouble.
The picture "Sibling Rivalry by bondageincomics" was commissioned from an artist through DeviantART in 2014.
This picture explores a whimsical rivalry between Luke Halpin as Sandy and Tommy Norden as Bud.
As Sandy, Halpin attracted a fan following with his tanned athletic swimmer's build, his trademark mop of blond hair and model-quality telegenic looks. However, many episodes revolved around mistakes made by Bud, intentionally or unintentionally, and his need to be rescued from the consequences.
Norden envies Halpin's athletic physique and fan base, while Halpin resents Norden's screen time and story lines. While Halpin develops a natural, big-brother irritation towards the smaller boy, Norden's initial little-brother idealization of the older actor turns into resentment over his rejection.
Sandy appears to have every advantage -- classic good looks, intelligence, size, strength, and speed. However, Bud appears to think unconventionally and be easy to underestimate.
In this battle of wits, Bud wakes up early while Sandy is still asleep in order to gain an advantage over his athletic, blond, shirtless, and unsuspecting older brother.

This picture is fan art and is intended to promote the appreciation of Luke Halpin's portrayal of Sandy Ricks in the 1964 television series "Flipper". This is an original scene and did not appear in the movie, the television series, or any other derivative material.
