Farewell My Friend

Twelve years ago I drove to a farm in Montrose, Colorado to pick up the most adorable bundle of fur I'd ever seen. I'd been preparing for years for it. I even had him named already; Magnus. Over those twelve years, it's been an adventure and it was amazing to have such a great friend by my side the entire time. Magnus was funny, stubborn, and always good to people. He really was my best buddy. This morning we had to say goodbye to him. While we all knew it was coming, it doesn't make it any e...

Perfectly Acceptable

Pop shoulda thought it through before deciding to be gay ;)

Comic Delay

Hello Friends, 

Unfortunately Simon has come down with a nasty cold and so this is going to delay the release of the comic on Sunday. We'll get back to it as soon as he's ready to go. For those wondering, Magnus is still here. We've had some bad days but overall he's been getting around and still doing his thing. We really want to make sure if we're going to put him to sleep, it's purely out of mercy. So for now we've got more time with our stubborn old man and it's really good to ...

Extra

It's always the type that seems to live forever though. ;)

Treats

Raisins or chocolate chips? Why not both?

Revenge

Times are a changing!

Double XP

Writer's Block

Sometimes it's the smallest thing that keeps us going.

Magnus Update

Hello Friends, so today was supposed to be the day but I've cancelled the appointment for Magnus. In the last week we were given new pain killers that helped him with mobility and it helped improve his quality of life. Unfortunately this only postpones the inevitable but I do want to make sure when his time comes it's for mercy, not shorting him prematurely. Thank you to everyone for the warm and supporting messages last week. It's a tough thing to deal with but it does make it better knowing...

Attention Creative Friends

Happy Sunday Everyone!

Simon and I have been very fortunate to have built ourselves a decent sized audience over the last few years. So many people work so hard on wonderful content that never gets the attention it deserves so we're very lucky. We'd like to pay it forward with a little gesture we're calling AJ & Magnus & Friends. We're extending it to you, our Patreon supporters, first because we know we've got some talented creative people following us who have their own projec...

An Update

Hey Everyone, there’s no real easy way to put this but as our supporters I feel we need to share some aspects of our personal life when it involves delivering our work. We’re at that point where Magnus’ time with us is coming to an end. Needless to say it’s a very sad time and we want our last week with him to count. We’re doing our best to keep things normal but obviously that’s pretty challenging. Especially since I’m a huge baby when it comes to this stuff. It never gets easi...

Computer Fun

Good morning friends! Well my PC decided to kick the bucket last night. While it’s never a convenient time to have a setback like that, it did last me over 10 years so at least I got a lot of work out of it! I’m looking at reasonably priced replacements and intend to do it as quickly as possible but it’s going to set us back a little bit with work progress. I’ll keep you all posted. Sorry for the delay.

Cheer Up

Good friends are there to cheer you up, tell you the things you need to hear, and help plot your revenge.

Creating AJ & Magnus Comics

Good Afternoon, Friends! We've gotten a few requests to share our process when creating our comics. I took some time to give an overview of our process. If you look at each image, I put commentary on each one providing some insight. I hope it's informative. 

If there's anything else you all want to see or ask about, just let us know!

New Job

Sometimes our aspirations don't quite match up with the opportunities available.

From our family to you and yours

It’s been an eventful year. Thank you for your ongoing support. From our family to yours, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. May your lives be full of love and adventure. Big hug ❤️

A Letter

We need more role models for everyone, not less. 

Lucky

Forgiveness is tough, but good.

Odd Feeling

When you're used to things going wrong for so long, it can be a little odd when they go right. Good thing it doesn't happen too often ;)

Q&A: How Old is AJ?

How old is AJ supposed to be? It seems like in earlier comics he was maybe 8? But sometimes he seems older. Is there an age you have in mind for him? And will everyone age eventually?

-D

Hey D,

When we started the comic our nephew, who was the inspiration for his character, was 8 and a ball of energy. I think initially we talked about how old AJ was gonna be and we decided he was "somewhere between 8-10". We just didn't...

Q&A: How Do You Deal With Depression?

Hi and thank you for your comic. It makes me smile every time I read it even the current story (I hope Pop comes clean soon)! I hope this is ok to ask because I know you've talked openly about it on your Facebook but how do you deal with depression? I think I have it and I could really use some advice to help me out of this funk! Thanks and big hug!

Thank you. We really appreciate that. I'm sorry you're in a funk. Before I answer how I deal with it I would li...

Update

Hey Friends!

As you've probably noticed, we're behind on the comic again. I underestimated the week by forgetting about Thanksgiving and we've had some fun life challenges pop up. We're plugging away on the next comic. In the meantime I will answer a few more of the Q&A that came in recently. Thanks for your patience!

-Bryan

Everything's Good

Is there every a perfect time to come clean?

New Comic Tuesday

Hello Friends!

We fell a bit behind this week trying to get more contract work done so the new comic will come out Tuesday. Next week's will be back on for Sunday. Thanks for your patience!

Q&A: Any Advice for an Instant Family?

Great work Simon and Bryan thank you. I hope you're still doing the Q & A. It looks like me and my partner are going to be taking in his 13 year old niece. She's currently living with her grandparents who aren't doing a very good job with her. I was wondering if you two had any advice for us as parents of an "instant family?" Hugs.

Parenting advice can be hard because no two adult/child relationships are ever the same. But I'll share my personal experienc...

Good Mood

November 17th Sketch

Hello Friends!

It's been a spell since I posted a sketch of the upcoming comic mainly because there's too often spoilers. Well, here's one with nothing to spoil. Thank you for your support! The finished work is coming soon <3

Q&A: Why Do Pop and Dad Wear Their Rings Around Their Necks?

I’ve noticed that pop and dad wear their wedding rings around their necks (assuming it is their wedding rings). What’s the story behind that, I think it’s cool.

When it comes to tradition, I'm usually at a crossroad. I think there's a lot of meaning in traditions, but I also believe doing the same thing forever the same way gets tired. When Simon and I got married we originally wore our rings around our fingers and it just felt off to me. I overthink things often and wh...
