Dogs are the best

I don't know why my handwriting is so messy in this one. Probably too excited about dogs while I drew this. I can't believe how much I love dogs sometimes. I'm on zyrtek once a day now so I am not itchy so much when I pet the dogs, but my face sure is leaky a lot.
\That last panel is a bunch of fat-bellied Whippet puppies. So cute with their big round bellies, but they never get bigger as the dog does. I think the circumference of their puppy belly is about the same as the adult.
Anyways, I think I forgot to post this awesome image announcing that you can buy Spaz Hands Volume 1.

Abe this this image is so weird. He laughed and laughed.

Dog love

More love! I was in a good mood when I made these last two comics, I think.

Go Go Corgi-Power

I had a hard time deciding if his body should grow or his tongue. I have never seen it, but I think it is his body that stretches out.
Sorry I forgot to post for two weeks. What a slacker.

Jerks all around

Oh man, what a jerk I am! The old man couldn't hear me so his wife said he would. And then he could barely do it. Nisa is about 30 lbs! Why did I think this old man would be ok picking her up?

Working from home

Ernie is not super polite, but he is so cute, I couldn't care less.

Dog Napkin

I am such a slob. I tagged this "gross" for my mom.

Family Tree

My family tree. Nothing more to say.

Getting Ernie

Poor Ernie. It really did take like 2 years for him to stop smelling like pee. And now he is just the best. On weekends, I sit on the couch and he sits on my legs while I read comics.

Best Dog Pilers

This is totally how we watch TV on the weekends. It is pretty awesome. Actually, that is a little more spacious than our actual couch. I actually finished all 257 episodes of Murder, She Wrote a while ago. Now I am watching the 1954 Sherlock Holmes.

Happy Thanksgiving

Yo, happy thanksgiving, Americans. Hope you are eating well. That's what I'm doing today.

Batman

 I get a new pair of shoes and basically only wear those shoes for at least 2 months. So now I have Batgirl low-top Converse, and Batman hi-top converse. Between those two, I don't really need any other shoes do I? Though Converse does have a design your own shoes thing that I am dying to try. I now also have a Batman hoodie that has become my jacket because I apparently lost all the other actual jackets I own.
I can't remember if I posted this before, but it is a "family portrait" Amanda suggested at Drink and Draw right after Abe and I got our hair cut. Sorry if you have heard this story before. The end.

Welcome home

Our dogs are so adorable.

Morning person

Still not a morning person. Abe found me this morning half oozed out of bed and back asleep again.

Poor Speaker

I am a big piler of things. Abe hates it. But usually it means I can find things until Abe moves a pile. I can even give him directions on which pile to find something in usually.
At Drink and Draw the other night, I couldn't think of anything to draw so Amanda suggested I do a family portait. She has a list of things to draw so I picked a number and that is what came up. So I drew this with the new rapidograph pens. I might switch the style up later to be more like this. Seeing the two styles next to eachother, I really like the style in the family portrait. Also, Abe and I got haircuts the night before, so it was the perfect time to draw us. Abe had really long hair, but for some reason I never draw him that way. I have no idea why.

Naughty boy

He's so cute, he's hard to be mad at. Sorry I posted late. Totally forgot. Whooops!

Update: FYI, I will be at Jet City Comic Show this weekend under the name Flying Dodo Publications.

Poopocalypse!

It's disgusting that this isn't even everytime we have had to deal with something so disgusting. And usually the problems are Nisa. Ernie's had some bouts, but his are usually less...extravagent. So many of their nick names revolve around poop. Pooface. Poopbutt. Le Poops (my favorite). Poopster.

We even have a rhyme about Ernie that I sing to him. He's not a super fan.
Ernie Pernie, puddin' pie. Pooped on girls and made them cry.
Not super original, but funny enough for me.

And you know, if you can't read this, let me know and I will type it up under here.

things we've taught our pets

Our nick name for the pair of dogs is The Idiots, but really they are pretty smart. People go nuts over royal sit and bipedal, though really only Nisa can do those. Ernie is too top heavy for it I think.

So we celebrated labor day weekend by shopping. We got a memory foam mattress from Costco and it is quite comfy. We also got a 40 inch LCD TV from Costco and it looks sweet. Though you can see everyone's make up on the broadcast showed. We also got tablets! I got a nexus 7 from Google and am really enjoying it except for maybe a couple small things that I should be able to figure out eventually, like not typing like a complete idiot. I'm posting this from my tablet.

In other news, this week my autobio characters are making a guest appearance on The Jerks, so check it out!

Spider!

Boy, spiders freak me out and not in a funny way. I still can't dry my hands on the towel in my mom's downstairs bathroom because they made me looked at the giant brown spider living it in a few years ago. Abe is nice about it and takes care of all the spiders. With a lot of good humor considering how much I jump around and squeal. One of the girliest things I do, actually.

That's Ernie squashed between us on the couch. I should do a comic about that marvelous, tiny couch. Anyways, for some reason, Ernie loves being squashed between us. It sounds really uncomfortable but the look on his face is so happy and he always lets us know when he wants down (usually because he is too hot).

Also, if you have been reading the last few comics, you might notice I changed the site a bit. I have never used this dynamic layout before, so I might have to play with it a bit. You can check out other view up in the nav bar where it says Sidebar. The previous view was Magazine if you prefer it. I also added a Find me page with links to my other websites and a list of the conventions I will be at for the rest of the year.

Sleepy

I work a 40 hour week job and spend as much time as I can making comics, but sometimes I get too tired. That's our dog Ernie. We have two Pembroke Welsh Corgis and the other is called Nisa. She's black, so you will be able to tell the difference.
