This one is a confession of sorts! I'm sorry Dad!
In the real instance, the records were still in their paper sleeves, so my Dad decided if he never got them out again, then they were never broken. 😅

Making of "Just One Bite BONUS"
So what would Vampire Vince want to eat? Our oldest has recently discovered Hot-Pockets so I couldn't get the idea of him sinking his fangs into one out of my head! I planned on having Fran and Joel in the background reacting to the scene, some ideas were

It's become a tradition of mine to do one "What if they were _____ " Halloween comic. Previously I've done zombies, robots and aliens, but this year I went for vampires. As always with these types of comics, I started crossing normal family stuff with the theme -eating, bedtime, fight...

Worked like a crazy person yesterday and managed to only be a day late with this! So here she is: Fran's Mom! This one is based on a true story which I'll go into when I post the time-lapse video!

I was already behind due to our trip away, but then covid found me again! Don't worry, we're all fine, it just knocked me on my ass for a few days! The Sept comic is going well though and is kind of 2 comics -one set when Fran was a kitten and the other present day. I'm just abo...

I'm running behind on comics right now because it turns out book launches are a huge distraction AND we had a family trip to San Antonio AND it's taking a while to perfect Fran's Mom! In the meantime, I thought you might enjoy seeing the evolution of the book cover.

Not only can he snare me at bedtime with a good question, our science chats have a dangerous habit of segueing into a world of interesting topics. For the bonus panel I decided to take this to the ultimate conclusion and have Fran keep talking until morning.

I had this one in my notes and I couldn't remember if 9yo had said the last line, or if I'd added it. He definitely asked if atoms have colors, because it worked on me just like the comic! If you're wondering, google says they don't, but judging by the arguments raging in my notificat...

I've decided I'm going to release the bonus panels to the public when I repost the comics a year later. This was actually my original plan because that's what I had been doing with the Webtoon bonus panels last year. I hadn't said anything because I couldn't figure out quite how to wo...

Making of "Bedroom Antics BONUS"
It was initially a toss up between this comic being about making the bed and wrapping a present, as I'd noted my cats being similar terrors on both. The bed changing won because it had the the innuendo angle, so that made the wrapping paper the bonus panel.
I found the ridiculousness ...

My new(ish) cats continue to pay for themselves with comic ideas! Fiasco goes crazy when I try to change the bedsheets and it's a wonder he hasn't been trapped underneath yet! I knew there was a comic there, I just had to think of an angle.

I had 2 ideas for this one. The first was Fran sunbathing saying something like "I gave up!", with a bunch of Halloween animatronics around her and the second was this one -which was much easier to draw, so it won! 😅

Dog people playing catch has so many funny possibilities that I wrote several scripts exploring them. Unfortunately all of them were action based and really had to be animated to do the timing justice. I needed something more text based so I settled on this idea of Beans getting overw...
