COMIC: When

A year with a small child.

Making of "Dr. Tickles"

The kids were blowing up over stupid stuff and J was managing to cheer them up with some tickles.  I can't remember what was frustrating me -I was in the kitchen, so it couldn't have been a printer, but I saw him approaching from the corner of my eye and saying something along the line of th...

COMIC: Move

I'm not the only one who does this, right? 😅

Edit: BONUS Panel!

Making of "Hold"

Our oldest has a habit of souring sweet moments -honestly, he might get it from me!  This one happened to poor J, but I'm happy to report that he did in fact keep "the hand" holding on -so credit where credits due! :)

As always, their big o' heads make stuff like this harder than it sh...

COMIC: Aarrggh!!

AARRGGH!!

NEW Litterbox Brand Coffee!

I'm going to announce it everywhere in a bit, but I wanted to give you guys the first look:

Litterbox Brand Coffee!!  😃

The best thing is it’s really good coffee! This is...

Making of "Wake Up"

I saw this tweet on Mother's Day 3yrs ago:

It was a 4 panel comic right out of the box and 2022-05-09 17:23:03 +0000 UTC View Post

COMIC: Dr. Tickles

Based on a true story!  (Make sure you read BOTH parts!)

Making of "Late to Class"

I was reading the comments on a Facebook post about kids saying inappropriate things.  Someone said they could believe the original post, because they were a teacher and had heard a toddler say something along the lines of "Mommy needs to get her shit together".

The juxtaposition of Co...

About time I had a new Mother's Day comic!

Making of "Infiltrated"

I've taken part in The Outliners event for 3 years and every year I both love and dread it!  It's fun to play with a superhero trope, but it's SO HARD to cram it all into one comic that I can get done on time. &...

COMIC: Late to Class

New one for Teacher Appreciation Day! :)

COMIC: Hold

Real conversation alert!  We always say our 7yo is the best writer in the house! 😄

COMIC: Infiltrated

If I've seemed quiet it's because I've been working on this 3 part behemoth!  I both love and hate National Superhero Day! 😅

If you want to catch up with the previous Supercats episodes here's Part 1 ...

Making "Egg Hunt"

There are certain jokes that can only work in the Litterverse and when I stumble upon them, I feel it is my duty to see them through!

Everything went surprisingly smoothly with this one.  I flipped some of the panels because I decided the last one read better ...

COMIC: Egg Hunt

Happy almost Easter!

EDIT: Question!  Think I should repost this related comic the day before Easter?  I'm unsure if it adds or detracts from the new one. 🤔

Making of "Evening Plans"

This should have been an easy comic.  Instead I did a WHOLE OTHER comic first!!  

Lets start at the beginning.  This one sooort of happened.  J asked if I wanted to watch something after we bedtimed the "shit-heads", but then followed up with "That I looove!" as a joke t...

Making of "The Cutest"

This was an actual conversation J had with our youngest.  I guess he must have been 4 at the time?

I modified poses from previous strips, so the art for this one went blazingly fast!

People get very confused about Cooper's age -granted, it is rather confusing!  My plan right...

5yo's Birthday Plans

5yo has declared that his 6th birthday theme will be "Money" and he'll need a $100 cake and everyone will have to give him a million dollars.  

When asked why he needed all this money, he said it was for "decowations for the house".  Turns out he has his heart set on this terrifyi...

Happy April Fools!

My plan was to Mandela Effect everyone and make people wonder for a second if they'd slipped into a parallel dimension!  Did I get you? 😄

4 years of Litterbark Comics!

4 years of Litterbark Comics!  I wanted to do a new comic for today, but I ran out of time, so here’s a repost.  Thanks for all the love you’ve given my crazy little dog family over the years!  Woof Woof! 🐶

Making of "New Kid"

This conversation must have happened pre-pandemic, so he was probably around 5.  In reality, in panel 3 I had a lot more trepidation in my voice, bracing myself for whatever awful thing might be coming next.  I made Fran more neutral so the final reaction had more of a punch.

Making of "Baby Prep"

After the success of turning J's old chloroform post into a comic, I thought I'd go trawling though Facebook to see if there were any other gems to be had.

I came across these 2:

Trying to normalize Cooper saying a bit more, because the real one is so hilarious and in a different way than his brother.

Making of "Trolling"

This one started out as one of J's Facebook posts from 2014:

J reminded me of it the other day and we thought it could make a good comic.  The problem was figuring out HOW.
