This was a funny little conversation J had with out youngest. J's really good about texting me things that could make good comics or tweets. This maybe should have been a tweet, but my brain's been a bit fried recently and this was sweet and easy, so it got upgraded to comic status!
Not too much to say about it. I got to reuse the sink from Deadlock so that sped things up even more! &nbs...

The dog family were a great excuse to explore family relationships that aren't there with the cats. I thought a teen girl would be easy to write for because I could just draw from my own experiences, but I quickly realized that things have changed somewhat since the 90s! Cue the months long journey of trying to write for a modern teen! All my ideas were coming from a very naggy "She's always on her phone!" kind of place and I didn't want to be that dull and OLD! 😆

A little late on May's dog comic, but finally an appearance from the teen!
Just a cute real life conversation with our youngest :)

It finally happened! I came up with a Dog Comic about the teen girl dog! I'm still working on it and it might be a little late because summer holidays hit, but here she is!
She's Bunny's daughter from a previous marriage. I was worried that I made her too 90s because that was when I was a teen, but J pointed out the 90s have come back around again, so huzzah for being old and current! 😄

(I'm going to circle back round to the making of the D&D comic, but I need to raid J's computer for art first.)
KC Greens famous "This is fine" comic pops into my head all the time when the kids are playing Minecraft. They can do such weird things and you have to make a choice between reacting and potentially highlighting it, or ignoring and hoping they move onto something else.

Some of you eagle eyed folks have spotted this online already, but I'm making it official tomorrow! Wanted to give you lovely patrons a heads up!
Sept 19th is book launch day!
It's crammed with all the best comics (except any Santa ruining ones, because my kids will read it!) plus a family photo album, animated "flippers", puzzles, blurbs from me and STICKERS!
Preorders are OPEN:
NEW Comic: Total Party Kitten
I've been excited to bring you this collab comic with the very handsome GhostHause from Greetings From Grisley!

I LOVE Cheetos! I could eat those knobby orange sticks forever if they weren't so terrible for me! While ordering a Firehouse Sub, it struck J that they were the "healthy" choice of chip, because he knew he wouldn't get to eat many of them!
For the comic version I upped the ante! I made it so he wouldn't get to eat ANY of them (instead of many) and I added the kids for maximum silly faces. They like Cheetos too, but at a normal kid-level, rather than the insatiab...

Star Wars Day (May The 4th Be With You) was fast approaching and I felt bad that I would just be posting the cupcake comic AGAIN. I'm nerdy! Surely I had another Star Wars joke in me?! And so began a miserable week of trying to come up with a Star Wars comic.
I got stuck on 2 ideas. The heartbreak of kids not liking a cherished childhood movie and something abo...

Finished it! Here's the large version for you guys. Feel free to use it as a wallpaper -would look awesome on a 2 screen setup!
Crikey the linework on Bluey things is always so hard! I assume they work in vector which would make it easier, but I hand draw it, so it's very unforgiving!
I realized that the Litterbox Family in this style would make some good merch (huzzah parody laws!) So I'm drawing them again now in a better pose. Expect merch soon! 2023-05-05 16:16:05 +0000 UTC View Post
Had writers block the last couple of days. I get this from time to time where nothing I write is funny and I hate it all. I suspect it might be hormonal because after a few days suddenly the exact same scripts are good again. I stubbornly tried to fight through it yesterday and just ended up frustrated with absolutely nothing to show for it. I thought I'd try a different tactic today and do some non-comic things!
My kids have FINALLY started watching Bluey...

Every year I worry I might have run out of superhero ideas -or rather, DOABLE ideas! I have plenty of epic storylines I could do with my super-team, but cutting it down to fit in a manageable comic is where the real super-power lies!
This year I thought I'd just keep it simple! I have the characters established already, lets just tell a quick joke with them! Yeeeeahh... that didn't really go as planned!
I had this idea about how hard it would be for a...

This years Superhero Day comic! Every year I think "I'll just make it a short one!" and every year I fail! :)
EDIT: Forgot to post bonus panel! Updated!
2023-04-28 14:28:17 +0000 UTC View PostI'd been steering clear from starting subscriptions on other platforms, thinking I'd need to make exclusive content for each one, when it suddenly dawned on me that I could offer the Dog Comics and behind the scenes stuff elsewhere as long as I kept the price the same!
This helps me because I don't have all my eggs in one Patreon basket and YOU because you'll be able to choose where you'd like to see the exclusive content!

OK, so this one is weird, but I keep thinking about it and smiling when I'm walking Cap Cap, so I hope it can make some of you smile while walking your dogs too! :)

This happened to poor J the other day. He bought a smart meat thermometer which sounds great on paper. He was already cooking when he cracked it open, excited to use it for the first time. The setup was ridiculous and his food was going wrong while he tried to get it working. At one point he shouted the above and I couldn't help but laugh (discretely!) We've all been there -jumping through stupid techno hoops to get something that should work to JUST ...

A possum joke has been on the cards for a while. I knew once I did it I wouldn't be able to do another one, so I had to get it right! I wanted something about the mom faking her death to get out of childcare responsibilities -so she'd turn up to playdates and dramatically die. The problem was the setup was huge! Lots of scene setting panels and other moms to react with concern while Fran (who is sick of it) berates the "dead" possum. Eventually I landed on this c...

Based on a true story; J was VERY mad at that thermometer! :)

My goodness, the crap my kids will watch if granted unfettered access to YouTube! I've tried to curate channels to keep things crafty or sciency, but somehow the algorithm still manages to pull them towards farts and nonsense! It's not like I don't enjoy a good fart joke myself, but when I think of the amazing things they COULD be watching I despair somewhat -geeze I sound OLD! 😅
Anyway, I know I'm not alone in this frustration, so I thought it would make a good comic! 2023-04-10 18:08:02 +0000 UTC View Post
I have a deal with Webtoon where they get comics a week before anyone else, but kid Joel turned out so cute that I needed to show you! Hopefully sharing a *bit* of a comic won't count -maybe don't tell Webtoon though, just in case...! 😅
(Full comic will be out next Weds on Webtoon and everywhere else a week later)

Hubby and I did special guest art for a couple of cards in Swords Comic's Kickstarter! Once the side quests are complete they'll be unlocked free for all backers! We're nearly there (it's in New Zealand Dollars so closer than it looks!) but there's only 1 week to go, so if you fancy backing, 2023-04-05 15:39:27 +0000 UTC View Post
Our new cats are a goldmine of ideas! Having been a dog person all of my adult life, I had forgotten how many weird things cats do! One of the big ones is how nuts they go after using the litter box -commonly referred to as "The Zoomies". Also recently, while putting some new gravel in the backyard, it came up in conversation that cats like to poop in kids sandboxes. The 2 ideas bumped into each other in my head and ended up as this comic!
I was excited to ...
