Little swimmer sticker

Summer may be nearing its end, but there's till time to strap on that swim diaper and take a dip!

That's doubly true if you're the lucky YCH winner for this month...Riley H! Grab your water wings and shoot me a message here with character reference for who you'd like to see jumping into the deep e...

Pool pals to pick!

Hop on the poll below to choose your swim buddy!

Pick your pool pal!

I'll be putting up a sampler platter of cute swimmers in just a second here. First choice gets turned into August's animation, runner-up gets adapted into the sticker!

Dunked Goldie

Eat basketball, nerd!

And unless there's a whole lot of movement on that poll in the next day or so, it's looking like we're all headed to the pool, so slap on some sunscreen and grab your noodles!

August theme poll!

All right, kiddos, let's see what the rest of the month is going to hold! It seems like people have been enjoying the comic, but I know some people also want animations. The comic crowd's won two months in a row, so in the interest of fairness, let's throw the animation kids a bone this time!

Hypno sticker: Theo edition!

This pup is an extra, EXTRA good listener.

Just head to https://t.me/addstickers/theopuddlepup to drag him off and have some fun with the padded pooch!

Delivery! page 2

And here's the second page done!

I think I need to find a new way to handle line work, because the time it takes to get from zero to rough lines (like the bear WIP I posted) and is about the same as the time it takes to get from that to this, and as picky as I am about the cleanup pass, I'm just n...

Almost done!

Really happy to be nearly done with this page -- just a couple more hours of cleanup and it'll be ready to go up. Thanks to everyone for your patience, and hopefully you'll enjoy the results!

Lion comic p2 WIP - more of this guy!

I've been trying to learn how to draw a bear that looks like a bear instead of a lumpy dog, and I think I'm starting to get the shapes down!

Thanks so much for hanging in there as I work on these, you guys. I really want to use them as a way to push myself to learn and grow, but I also totally get...

Lion comic p2 WIP - Bears, oh my!

Expect more updates on this in the next couple of days -- just finished up a few big work obligations here and I hope to concentrate on getting this done next!

Hope you kids are all keeping cool out there. Remember to stay hydrated!

Lion comic p2 WIP!

Oh the things you could do for us boys today, liondad...

July YCH's!

Time to see who gets the YCH animation and stick for July! The benevolent wizards at Google decree that...

The sticker slot goes to... Theo Haws!

And Julys lucky Daddy is... Goldfoxie!

Big congrats to these little folks! Send me a message here with character reference for who yo...

Giddyup Rethex!

Here's the finished YCH animation for Rethex!

We'll have the drawing for July's slots coming up soon, as well as some progress shots as the next comic page comes together, so stay dry and stay tuned!

Gosh, you guys ????

It looks like we're going for another comic page!

I definitely pushed myself to make the first one as nice as I could for you guys, and it's really sweet and rewarding to see that you guys are enjoying it. Your response has been super kind, and it makes me excited to keep going with these b...

July poll!

Okay! First off, let's decide whether we want to keep going with the lions comic, or whether we want to jump back to a new animation and sticker for the month!

Delivery! page 1

Finally finished the page! It's one of the more ambitious things I've done and I'm pretty proud of how it turned out. I hope you guys all like it, too!

I'll be posting some polls to decide July's content soon, so stay tuned for those and get your voting fingers ready! In the meantime, enjoy...

July update!

Hey kids! I'm working on finishing up the comic page(s) from last month over the next couple days, and once those go up I'll hold the poll for July where you can decide whether to continue the comic this month, or jump back to an animation!

Thanks for sticking with me, and a happy 4th to th...

Lion comic WIP - more of this thing!

Dadlion lettered in seat-cupping back in undergrad.  He is a champion seat-cupper.

Lion comic WIP - color!

This is what the first step of color looks like for me! I kind of combine the sketch cleanup and rough color steps, so I'm picking out the colors I want everything to be and also starting to refine the lines a bit (although they're still super jittery and gross because Photoshop doesn't seem to l...

June YCH's!

It's almost July, but we can't let the month end without finding out who's getting June's sticker and YCH animation! So without further ado, take it away Google RNG elves!

The sticker slot goes to... Sharon Letorneau!

And this month's lucky Daddy is... Rethex!

Congrats to you bo...

Lion comic WIP

I've got the page all sketched out and I'm starting to clean it up and it's preeeetty squirmy stuff.

More to come over the next couple days, plus we'll be announcing the YCH animation and sticker winners, so stay tuned for those as well.

I'm getting this patreon back on schedule if it...

Going batty

And here's the bonus YCH animation PaddedBat got because May's animation ran late.

Thanks for your patience, and I'm looking forward to getting to work on that comic now.  Lions ahoy!

Like a bandaid for the brain

Here's the hypno animation for Bandaid Roo!

Just unzip the file and open the .htm file to view the flash file. I'm hoping it works smoothly for everybody, but it's been a bit finicky in the past. If it doesn't work for you, let me know and I'll find another way to get this guy out!

Thanks as...

Bandaid Roo and the Relaxation Station - WIP

Last month's animation is nearly inked and ready to animate! I'm trying my best to claw back onto schedule here, and your patience in the meantime means a ton to me.  Thanks so much, and look forward to more updates soon!

June theme poll!

So after correcting for people who voted both FOR and AGAINST comics (and you know who you are), it wound up being about a 5-to-1 vote in favor of sprinkling some comics into the mix here and there, which is enough for me to say let's give it a try! If the comic doubters out there read through th...

May YCH animation!

Now that it's June...here's May's YCH animation! Went a little higher-tech than the old pocket watch on a string this time around, for the sci-fi kids out there interested in wetter living through technology.

The lucky Daddy whose butt is winding up in our fancy relaxation station here is.....

Comics poll

In the last post I outlined some ideas for different content I might provide here. Feel free to comment with your thoughts, but I figured I'd also put something up in poll form in case that's an easier way for you to provide some quick feedback!

June update!

Hey kids, a couple of things to tell you about here. The back half of May slipped through my fingers as I'm getting over a cold here, and I want to let you know the sketch for May's animation will go up later today. To make up for it being late, I'll also be running a second animation YCH where a...

Hypno sticker: Caiden edition!

Here's another very good, veeery obedient cub that you can grab for yourself at https://t.me/addstickers/caidenpuddlepup

May's been a crazy one for me, but the month's animation drawing will happen in the next day or ...

Mousemerized

Uh oh, big guy!!!!!
