Sometimes Painting a Room is Moving Forward

Hey Family,

We've been away for a few weeks. It wasn't planned and it's my fault. It's been seven months since JJ left our family and for almost that long we'd just kinda left his room the way it was. Mostly just closing the door and forgetting about it. Well, we finally decided to get some paint and redo it. It sounds kinda strange but repainting it and cleaning it up has taken it from a room of sadness/strained memories to being a new room that's a part of our home again. I feel like ...

Kitty Family Commission!

Hey Fam!

Wanted to share with you another completed commission while we work on the next strip!

Huge thank you to Kevin and Nick for this opportunity :) You guys are awesome and your kitties are adorable!

I'm also working on putting all my art process videos on YouTube so I can share them all with you on here ^_^

Let us know in the comments if you have any suggestions on what you'd like to see more on our patreon :) 

Strangest Things

Anyone else have family members you're rarely excited to hear from?

The Job

It's Time To Come Together

I want to spread the message of our comic further and wider and show young LGBTQ+ people they're loved and included in all of our lives. It's time to stop the hate by countering it with positive messages and stories of love. Thank you to all of you for being a part of our comic and helping us make a difference, even a small one. We're grateful for you and glad you're here. You're loved. Biggest hug <3

A Complication

Is Being Gay "Too Political"?

Hello Family! We had a big drop off of support after our July 4th comic. I wanted to make a video addressing it. What do you think? Is it possible to be a part of the LGBTQ+ community and not be involved in what's going on politically?

Dad brings up a good point; does America deserve a birthday party right now?

Watch Twix return with bionic upgrades ;)

Happy Fathers' Day! 2022

We hope you're all having a great Sunday with the special someone you love. 

Another Happy Family ^_^

Hey Family! 

Wanted to introduce you to this loving family!

So many fur babies! We honored fallen Blizzard the bunny and Chaos the cat! Jordan on the right is holding Lady Bird as Hazel chills in his hand and Star wants to get up there too! Tim on the left has Harley Quinn on his shoulder, Moo Moo snuggled up on his arm, Low Belly climbing his leg, or trying to, and last but not least we have Little Bear all cozy in his hand

Unfortunately I recently learned that Little ...

Finally!

What do you think? Is rehearsing the way to success?

A Little Update

Hey Family! 

Happy Monday! I wanted to let you all know that I'm working on finishing the next comic but in the meantime I thought I'd share one of the commissions I'm working on :)

Grant and Iain wanted to be drawn as powerful spellcasters with their pets inspired by their fursonas so I worked some of my own magic  ^_^

These fantasy themed drawings are some of my favorite to illustrate. I always try to give it that Lord of the Rings/Dungeons and Dragons epic vibe ...

Sunny

Happy Satuday, Family! With all the violence and rotten politics going around, we wanted to do something a little cheery. Don't worry, we'll be back to the main storyline quickly. We just needed a mental break from all the nastiness. We hope you're all doing well. Big hug <3

Comic Update

Hey Family,

Sorry we've been away so long. It feels like these last few months have been negative so I was holding off on an update but this is just how life is sometimes. We've been delayed with comics and commissions because last year Simon learned he was diabetic. We've been treating it and changing his routine but three weeks ago he learned it got drastically worse. This meant new medicines and difficulties with getting prescriptions our insurance covered. Simon was feeling awful an...

Fair Dinkum!

Twix is back! Everything's about to get better! <3

Another Chapter Closed

Hey Family,

This last year has really been a series of unexpected challenges and heavily family oriented for us; unfortunately all negative. With JJ now vacant from our lives, it's been sad adjusting from "building our family for the future" to "well, there's no one but us now, there's no next generation for our family." I don't mean to make that sound as hopeless as a it does, it's just the way the feelings come across. I wanted to let you all know we've sent the check to my mother and...

We hope you're having a great day <3

Another Kitty Kommission!

Thank you everyone for the wonderful well wishes! 

My back is feeling good after much rest, back to it's usual 90% capacity at least, so I can start delivering more art again!

Thought I'd start with this adorable family I just finished illustrating! Victor and Gary with their furbabies Salem and Tywin!

I got more awesome requests coming up! Thank you everyone for being so patient with me, I know how excited you all must be to get your drawings :) Really means a lot to a...

We truly couldn't continue doing this without you. Biggest hug <3

Comic Update

Good Morning Family!

Sorry for being so quiet lately. Things have been a bit chaotic. In the next few weeks we'll have things settled once and for all. In addition to the family drama, Simon hurt his back so he's been recovering the last week but we'll have a new comic soon!

Additionally we've been invited to discuss our comic on a panel for Florida State College at Jacksonville. We'll be talking about how our comic came about, how LGBTQ+ representation matters, and how we need to...

Bark-our!

Remember Huxley? He's ready to parkour his furry paws off any rooftop! :)

I added the various stages the drawing went through, for who's interested .

If you have any art questions feel free to ask :)

All Figured Out

Pop's got a new confidence! 

Comic Delay

Good Morning Family! 

We had an eventful Wednesday which landed Simon in the ER last night, unfortunately. He'd passed out at his desk and was unconscious for a bit. Not to worry; they ran tests and everything came back normal, thank dog! It turns out it was an event called Vasovagal Syncope which causes a nerve to malfunction and temporarily cause blood pressure to drop so low it makes you pass out. It was very scary but we've been told it's nothing to worry about unless it become...

Patreon Exclusive: AJ & Magnus Theme Song

Hello Family!

We found a talented musician on Fiverr and commissioned a possible theme song for the comic. We wanted to share it with you and see what your thoughts were on it. We hope you're having a great week!
