Funny Dog Comics: Save the Turtles

This is one of my favorite comics. It was inspired by a real run in with a turtle in Florida. While at the dog park, I saw a huge turtle trying to make his way to the water. Unfortunately there were three dog park fences between him and the pond.

I didn’t want to pick him up. He was a hefty boy and if he was alarmed enough, I was afraid he’d jerk out of my grip. I snagged a recycling bin and coerced him. Then it was a simple carry to freedom. Kind of like a blue bin Uber for turtles. His thank you was inspiring this comic strip.

Funny Dog Comics: Why Dogs Eat Grass

Probably one of my favorite comics I’ve drawn. I say drawn because I didn’t write it. Sophie did. This one started with dooles of her rolling around in the grass, which obviously most dogs love. Then I let Sophie take over and wrote down everything she was thinking.

That’s the fun magical bit about writing. You know you’re getting somewhere when you feel like you’re watching a movie and transcribing what you see and hear. Of course , it doesn’t solve the mystery as to why dogs eat grass.

Funny Dog Jokes: The Sad Side of Fostering Dogs

The downside to fostering dogs is that it’s awalys hard to see them go. No matter how many dogs you have plodding through the house, you get attached. The plus side is that they go to great, loving homes.

Jack and his siblings will be returning in the upcoming graphic novels. This time, they get to go on a Monty Python inspired dragon hunt with Sophie. You can read a preview of that chapter at Pibble Productions.

Funny Comics - The Addams and Far Side Effect

,

Another new Primordial Syrup comic. I’m going to try and post a new every Monday. Once a week should be manageable. I have a ton written. The art can take some time, especially when the style is developing. You can probably tell two of my biggest influences were Charles Addams and Gary Larson.

Addams, aside from creating the “Addams Family”, generated some of the best and weirdest single panel comics at a time when weird wasn’t exactly mainstream. My dad had a hardcover collection of New Yorker comics. I was six or seven when I stumbled upon it. I loved any book filled with cartoons, however, most of them, aside from the art, didn’t intrigue me. They were dated, although I wasn’t aware at the time that that was the reason. However, every so many pages would be a single panel that stood out. Kind of like “One of these things doesn’t belong” on Sesame Street.

On those particular comics, I noted the signature, “Addams”, and scoured the book for more. From that moment on Charles Addams was my Odin of cartooning. “The Far Side” came along a bit later, but had a similar effect. When most of your thoughts and ideas are strange, a bit dark and off kilter, or fall into the “I don’t get it” category, seeing the works of Addams and Larson were a beacon in a field that can sometimes drag you down a conventional path just to make a living.

That said, Primordial Syrup has no endgame. They are simply the ideas that make me laugh. They are the cartoons that, if I opened up a hardcover collection of comics, would be the ones I would read.
