DOG COMIC: Neat Drawings

Better late than never -the Dog Comic for March!

Thank you all for being here!  It's an honor to make these comics for you! ❤️

Dog Comic Running a Bit Late

Apologies, the dog comic is running a bit late!  I keep getting stuck trying to think up an idea for the (as yet unseen) teen daughter, but as I don't know any teenagers it's proving tricky!

I'd initially thought I could just draw from my own experiences of being a teen, but then I rem...

COMIC: Caught Speeding

Inspired by our new kitties! :)

Making of "It's Gotta Get Easier"

Starting at panel 2, this was a real conversation, but J wasn't involved in it.  He was there, but I said everything out loud to us both.  

Our firstborn was an angry baby and a difficult toddler.  When you're in that situation you tend to keep looking for the milestone when ...

COMIC: It's Gotta Get Easier

Based on a true story! 

Making of "Clover"

I came up with this one last summer after I set the boys looking for a 4-leaf clover in the garden.  I sketched it out, but ran into 2 issues.  1) I had Vincent being the one to ask how 4-leaf clovers came about, but because he believes in them, he'd have to say "discovered", which seem...

COMIC: Clover

I'm holding this one back from going live until St Patrick's Day, but it's been 7 days since I posted it to Webtoon so I figured I'd give you wonderful folks a slightly earlier release! ;)

Making of "Over"

J bought the kids some walkie talkies for Christmas -well, SANTA did, as they were in their stockings.  They were these crap little ones that claimed to be "The Worlds Smallest Walkie Talkies" -just something J -err SANTA!- grabbed on his way out of Barnes ...

Making of "Bustin'"

I find shared pop-culture moments hilarious and took a chance that others would too!  I knew not everyone would know what bit in Ghostbusters I was referring to, but I gambled on enough knowing that people could be filled in in the comments -or be intrigued enough to Google it.

For tho...

Making of "Missing"

We were leaving Walmart when my 8yo pointed to the missing persons poster and asked whet it was.  I answered as in the comic and he replied in kind -but more surprised than panicked.  We both laughed as I explained and he said "That's good because otherwise I wouldn't want to come back ...

COMIC: Over

Every kid with their first walkie talkie!

(Apologies for the delay in behind the scenes stuff! Getting caught up today!)

COMIC: Bustin'

Bustin' 🚫👻

This one goes out to all the parents who have awkwardly sat through *that bit* in Ghostbusters...

COMIC: Missing

My kid spontaneously coming up with comic ideas again! 😄

Making of "Alpha"

Putting a live-in grandparent in the dog family opened the door to some new dynamics.  My kids were into Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends at the time and it made me think Bunny's mom could be a cute lil old lady like Madame Foster.  J suggested I could get more content if she...

DOG COMIC: Alpha

February's Dog Comic!  Had fun with this one! :)

COMIC: Saw This Thing (remastered)

Remaster of a 2019 comic:

I played around with pushing their expressions a lot more, but the simplicity of the original kept overshadowing the updates, so I ended up just updating the character mod...

Making of "Reframe"

Alright, so this one sort of happened, but not in the way you think!  We were invited to a friends girls birthday party.  When I mentioned that it might be Frozen themed my boys both made faces and said they wouldn't go to an "Elsa Party"!  I told them that the good thing about Els...

COMIC: Reframe

Accidently released this a day early on Twitter, so I thought I better set it live here too!

Based on a true story which I'll share here soon!

Making of "Open House"

Realized I never did the write up for this one!  This started as a crossover comic:

Joel and Dog Dad (name still TBD!) are good friends who rib on each other.  I wanted to show the playf...

Making of "Fresh Baked"

This was an actual thing that happened a while ago.  I didn't personally think it was comic worthy, but every time I got stuck for ideas J would bring it up, so he obviously found it funny! I'd also realized with the new kitten that this had the additional layer of being a cat joke too, so I...

COMIC: Fresh Cookies

Random thing that happened

Making of "Inside"

I started this one a long time ago, based on some real life comments, but I didn't know how to end it!  J suggested Fran going like "Flower Cat Meme", to which I said "What the heck is that?!"  It's odd how social media works, a classic meme to one person can completely miss another by!...

COMIC: Inside

Real life ultrasound of my oldest:

Making of "Gone Fishin'"

The first comic inspired by knowing a real life kitty -Fiasco is crazy about teaser wands and does a cartoonish little butt wiggle just before he pounces.  J said it looked like we were fishing for cats, so he bought a fishing rod style wand, which in turn gave him the idea for this comic. &...

DOG COMIC: Gone Fishin'

Inspired by my new kitty! 😄

Making of "Aladdin"

My oldest said this last month and I tweeted it:

No one actually said anything about the "disregard" (I think they all know how weird my kid is by now haha!) but I always feel funny transcribing s...

COMIC: Aladdin

Based on my own tweet! (:

Back in the Saddle!

Sorry I've been away so long.  Had planned on starting up again at the beginning of January, but then a Fiasco happened!

People often assume I chose cats for my comic because I'm a cat-person, when actually, all these years, I've only owned dogs!  Why'd I pick cats then?  Bec...

Making of "Every Year"

Despite not drawing comics, It's been a busy month!  Gave the house the 1st good spring clean since the pandemic (I have usable cupboards now!).  My parents visited. from England  Took a trip to Keystone Colorado so the kids could see some snow.  Got stuck in Colorado because ...

DOG COMIC: Every Year

They never learn....
