YouTooz Plushies!

I'm partnering with YouTooz to do the whole fam as blind box plushies! They'll be released on April 23rd and will be available for 4 WEEKS ONLY!

They're much bigger than you'd think they'd be for a blind box, I was actually surprised when they showed up...

COMIC: Party Time

I can't be the only one that does this...? 😅

Making of "Asking The Big Questions"

J posted this back and forth he had with our 7yo in our group chat. Usually when this happens, I copy and paste the convo into my "roughs" folder and fiddle with it a bit more, but this one did not pass GO and went straight into "ready"!

The only thing I changed was babying up the language a bit, as Cooper is younger t...

COMIC: Asking The BIG Questions (Plus BONUS COMIC!)

Word for word conversation J had with our youngest. I couldn't make this stuff up! 🤣

Edit: BONUS Panel...? Comic?!

This was part of the conversation that happened after J posted what 7yo had said to our message group. I tried to fit it into a single panel, but the expression rollercoaster was too funny to m...

Making of "The Mephistopheles Saga"

Sorry for my horrible trick on Monday! I love a good April Fools prank, but it's getting harder and harder to think up something new every year! I was actually getting worried I wouldn't be able to, but then on my walk with Captain it hit me! Post the middle of a comic without the beginning or the end! It would be like wa...

The Mephistopheles Saga (Part 3)

Come back tomorrow for the exciting CONCLUSION!!

COMIC: That Word

From a real conversation

Making of "Little Friend"

I'm my notes I just had the kids down as "acting crazy", so when it came time to draw it gave me pause. (HA! accidental pun!) After considering some crazy kid things, I hit upon having them scratching up the sofa -I love it when I can get a cat joke in there!

I wanted the kids in full "goblin mode", so I kept pushing b...

COMIC: Little Friend

Making of "El Florko"

Flork is having a contest to draw his character somehow involved in graffiti, either real or a picture.  I thought I'd have some fun with it and draw V...

Making of "Get Baby To Sleep!1"

Back in 2019 I did this comic:

I've been toying around with how to update it to the new style for a while.  I still really like the original gag, in some ways more than the new one, but it was wordy and didn't land as wel...

Making of "Clock"

Buckle in, because this one was an ADVENTURE!  

Alright, lets start at the beginning.  A lot of people know the infamous "Peanuts Comic", but that didn't actually happen to me, that was 2024-03-04 16:34:01 +0000 UTC View Post

Making of "Hit it Off" (Part 2)

Not too much more to say on this one, but I had the video so it seemed a shame not to post it!  

Oh actually!  It does show one interesting thing!  In the last panel you can see my technique for drawing a front on version of a character.  I take the side facing head, make a copy and mirror it on top....

Making of "Hit it Off" (Part 1)

I wish I could say this was based on a true story, but J wrote it!  Making small talk with other moms on playdates is less of a deal now my kids are older, but oh what I wouldn't have given for a silent scrollin' playdate back in the sleep deprived era!  

Having said that, I've actually been pretty lucky with ...

COMIC: Get Baby to Sleep!1

This one is sort of a remaster! Here's the original from 2019:

💡 Kickstarter Reward Suggestions

What would you lot like to see as Kickstarter Rewards for The Show?  We have our own ideas, but I'm curious if there are things we haven't thought of! 🤔

Making of "Earworm"

After that announcement I was going to draw a comic (without the stress of HAVING to think up a bonus panel!) but my iPad is downstairs and a cat is sitting on me, so I guess it's a good time to get caught up with t...
