Must Love Frogs

Amateur Class Weightlifting

Beck and Tapia were indeed on my mind this past weekend, so here's a sketch of the baby gays at Roughnecks (or they might be at the school gym; I don't know if Icy allows minors). I may revisit Tapia and her distraction from her little pink weights sometime.

May Special: Piggy Sue Splash Page

High on the hog, it's Piggy Sue in the number one spot for May! Tie on your bacon bib and enjoy all the Divine Miss Strawson that you can handle! Honorable mention has to go to my strong baby gay Beck Stomp, who cowgirled up for a very close second at the poll. I will have to draw her a splash page soon, it's only right.

My Convention Sign

Con sign 2024! The image at the top is also the business card that I threw together--I mean lovingly crafted. I wish I could afford, at this point in my life, to go to more than one convention a year.

I would buy art at Clem's suggestion. I can't be the only one.

2024 Mini PRIDE Badges!

As May swiftly gets away from me, I'm happy (ish) to report that I did get into the artist alley of Anthrohio for all of one day. And that being the case I need a little something to sell besides commissions, so here are the mini PRIDE badges for 2024! A special preview for my Patrons whom I love so very much! These are cute pre-made laminated tags you can wear on your lanyard, hang from your car's rear view mirror, stick up in your cubicle to freak out the squares, etc. They are roughly ...

May Special: St. Charlies Splash Page!

I've been inspired by spontaneous-looking character splash pages like this: https://twitter.com/tsulala/status/1782950491736969431/photo/1  https://twitter.com/tsulala/status/1783584798373507278/photo/1  I want to do something similar for all the heroes of WwF! Where I...

April Special: Top Hat And Whales

Pod got gussied up quite smartly for his date with Ike. Do you think our elephant guy likes the big, big picture being painted? Can Pod breathe with that hat on?

Silly Love Sows

You'd think that people would have had enough of silly love sows! I found an old-ish sketch featuring our top duo in a similar pose and decided to give it another go.

One thing that has delighted me about WwF's main porcine pairing is the fact that Piggy Sue is just so darn INTO Clem. When I first met these two, I figured that quiet, shy Clem would be shuffling around, dopey and lovesick, after this vibrant younger woman who Pollyannas up her weird little world. Shows what I knew! O...

New Tier: SEEN IN GREEN

Hello friends! As of today, there's a new tier to the Patreon: at $5 you're officially SEEN IN GREEN! The $5 tier, instead of the $10, opens up NSFW art from this day forward. If there's anything you would like to alter so that you can, or if you prefer, cannot see erotic art here on the Patreon, please make your changes asap!

Ike Carumba! A Tie!

Love that turnout for the poll, friends! Now break the tie!

April Special: Boar Of The Ball!

Grab a date and dust off those cummerbunds, because our WwF friends are, apropos of nothing, headed to the swankiest party of the year! Vixen Grin And Her Big St. Charlies Band will be swingin' and inspiring romance in our lucky couples. Will you choose an established pair of love/birds/, or maybe a duo just getting to know each other? Make my sentimental evening!

Turn Around, Bright Eyes

In a few days the total solar eclipse will be upon us. If you're in certain regions of the northeastern US you'll be able to observe this astronomical phenomenon in all its glory. Hopefully your office closes that day for the occasion! Mine sure won't! Here are a few preparations you can make for this total eclipse of our collective hearts...

DO wear your protective glasses to view the eclipse!

DO travel safely when you trek to northwestern PA and spend a bunch of money ther...

Work In Progress: WwF DREAM CAST

In my wildest dreams, When We Fly is an adult animated show on the TV that you can stream on, oh, I dunno, Disney Plus. Or WoW. Even better. For a while I have been musing about my ultimate voice cast, and I've updated my list! Maybe you can help me fill it out; I would prefer to populate this list with queer actors wherever possible. I'll tell you at the end which characters are giving me the most run-around.

When We Say Love

Good thing I'm using my precious weekend time wisely and making memes! Too bad I couldn't fit the extended cast on this grid, but at least Icy made the cut! Kitty would 100% put Icy on read, if you were wondering.

March Shout Out!

I know we're already 6 whole days into April, but better late than never. A tremendous shout out to all our March Patrons, with special thanks to our Friends of Frog and up: THANK YOU Nutjob, Tineid, Archibald Mirenopteryx, unsingable_name, Badguy101, Dragonpone, Floydiana, Greypon3, Heartshine, Jonathan, Jose Rosa, La Limule, Markus Frisen and Swissair171! You are amazing!

Ask Val: Relaxation

Oh what? What?? We're getting at least two episodes of ASK VAL before the month is out? I'm as surprised as you!

Stick around and Valerie might perform her amazing "making a whole box of donuts disappear" trick. And it's not even Monday morning in the office!

Ask Val: Music

Broke into the old apartment. This is where we used to live.

If this is the only Ask Val I can get to in March, I'll do some more in April! Sorry it's so rough, Valerie has little pep in her snep this month.

Beware The Frogs Of March

As you might know, a big storm/tornado hit the midwest recently.  I'm fine, but my dayjob is in insurance clerical, and we're getting absolutely swamped.  My plans to do the Valerie question series are being challenged by the fact that I am constantly needed at work.  If I can't get as much of the Valerie series done in March as I would have wanted, I assure you I will do it soon thereafter.  Please be patient with me and please stick around!

If I Had A Million Dollars

I'd buy you a house!

Icy is good at drumming and running a gym and managing money.  After decades of painstaking planning and very hard work, she was able to buy a tiny ranch-style home with some land attached.  There she lives on the outskirts of St. Charlies with her wife Kitty, who was thus free to pursue her own lifelong dream of quitting her shabby job at the Pettery Barn and becoming a full time carer for a house full of rescue /animals/.  And yes, they all have nam...

Poll Result: Valerie Triumphant

Calling the poll!  In what may be the only victory of her nine lives, Valerie Jane Firn absolutely pounced all over the competition.  Now is your opportunity to ask questions of everyone's favorite overworked, underappreciated, sugar-addicted sadcat!  Barring any spoilers, Val and I will do our best to answer as many as possible.  So please, post your burning inquiries here!   Also, should your question pertain to the throuple as a whole, I'll allow it, though Va...

March Special: Participation Wanted!

This March I'd like to start a character Q&A, and I want you Patrons to choose our first victim!  This will probably be a recurring theme in the future, but I need your help deciding where to start.  Once we have our subject, I'll do simple comics responding to some of YOUR questions!  The comics will probably shared with the public, but for this series I will only be accepting questions from Patrons.  So please provide your inquiries once we've chosen which WwF hero t...

Splash Dancers (Ft. Chuck)

One of the motivations in my aim to create the WwF graphic novel is to know WITHOUT A DOUBT how every single character, no matter how tertiary, looks and lives their life.  I don't want to be stuck in a situation where Rando 1 has to be a cat or a bunny because I need to hurry and finish this panel.  We have enough cats and bunnies.  Now let's fill out the Sous La Mer cast of the Train Play That Must Not Be Named!

Feb Shout Out!

Patrons, I choo-choo-choose you!  Thanks so much to everyone who contributed in February, in particular our Friends of Frog and up: Nutjob, Tineid, unsingable_name, Dragonpone, Floydiana, Greypon3, Heartshine, Jonathan, Jose Rosa, La Limule, Markus Frisen and Swissair171!  You folks are everything!

Five Characters In Search Of An Exit

The meme said three, but go ahead and call the meme police.

One day not too terribly long ago, Garfield, Gadget, Michelangelo, Cera and Wendy O. drove together to the mall to scope out Tape World and maybe grab an Orange Julius (to share, we're not made of coins!).  I waffled on way, way more comfort characters, but I opted only to showcase the ones dearest to preteen Kae.  That said, I could have just as easily swapped in Peach, but Wendy is just funnier.

Short Stories: Marsh Vs Itzel

Short Stories are back?  And now with Context Clem??  To be honest, Short Stories never really went away.  I have several in my hoodie pocket, I just need time to spruce them up for presentation!

Let's not all leap up to kill Marsh Leepe at once.  He is in a good position to learn his lessons and rise above that infamous "fantastic racism" trope.  I have faith in his better nature!  But as it stands for now, this frog is going whole /hog/ in his resentment ...

Gay Gasp! It's CRUSHED ICE

I am very happy to finally introduce the venerated ensemble of Icy's rock band, CRUSHED ICE!  Not pictured are The Voice Of St. Charlies, Vixen Grin (lead vocals) and Kero-Chan (lead guitar and backing vocals).  Icy herself provides percussion and more backing vocals.

Hyacinth "Hip" Horowitz (bass) has known Icy the longest...they have been jamming and dreaming the big dreams together since the 80s.  Because of their history, Hip is the one who can stand up to Icy's postu...

Valentines For All?

Fam, should I post the Barbara x Melissa Valentines pic to my public pages, so all can revel in their /puppy/ love?  Or should we keep it exclusive to Patreon because it's ours, dammit?  

Feb Special: The Mysterious Valentine

Who has lovely penmanship, gives out plush /rodents/ and has the utter kamikazi gall to sneak a Valentine to a big mean bully like Barbara?  We don't know.  It's a mystery.  Young Barbara clearly has a secret admirer and this word puzzle is seriously testing her intellectual mettle.

WwF Dream Cast!

Somebody on FA asked a great question: if you could cast anyone to voice your characters in some animated form, who indeed?  I do, in fact, have some draft picks, and also I can't live without them and they CAN'T SAY NO...have their people call my people, please and thank you!  That said, I am open to more ideas on dream casting for the WwF menagerie!  Unless the character in question is not part of the LGBTQ community, I'm primarily looking for queer VAs...

Compigtition

Meet Chef Huxley Whitlip, the biggest threat to Piggy Sue's sanity since BeeBee's triple-corn cornbread!

Huxley is shown here as both a teenage Beacon Scout Guide and in her current state.  She and Clem met in Scouts and were each other's first love.  Like Clem herself, Huxley is serene, intelligent and a big fan of really good food.  The two parted when Huxley was given the opportunity to attend culinary school in France, with Clem unwilling to leave her aunts.  The...

Feb Special: My Funny Valentine

Remember when you were a kid and you'd receive and disperse those little Valentine cards amongst your classmates?  When We Fly remembers!  This month, one of our little ones will be busy giving and/or getting Valentines from their friends.  Whose Valentine hijinks would you like to see?
