Comment "free books" for two free collections of Dog eat Doug comics! I always try to give my dogs veggies. Some love them and others despise them. And sometimes you think they like them until you find a stash of moldy carrots under your desk. . . . #familyfriendly #cartoonoftheday #funny #cartooning #funnydog #happydoggo #sillydog

Comment "free books" to get two Dog eat Doug collections full of Sophie shenanigans! Sophie knew anything in a box on the counter was delicious. She never snagged a doughnut, but she knew how to lift the lid of a pizza box, nip a slice, and let the lid close. Took us a while to figure out the diminishing pizza mystery. . . . #familyfriendly #freebooks #cartoonoftheday #funny #webcomics #comics #cartooning

Want a bunch more Sophie? Comment "Free Books" and I'll send you two Dog eat Doug collections. This comic is based on a true story. The joy of foster dogs. I haven't had any chewed up shoes, so I'm thankful for that. Gunnar still marks anything new that comes in the house. Does anyone else have that issue? . . . #familyfriendly #digitalcomics #digitalcomic #funny #webcomics #cartooning #graphicnovel #comics

We lost our gentle giant, Luther, last night. We adopted him right after moving to North Carolina. He learned a lot from Sophie before she left us. He was the most mellow, sweet spirited dog. I can't remember him ever getting into trouble. Never chewed up a shoe or a couch. Never got into fights. And as you can see from the photos, he taught a lot of foster pups how to be a dog. I was thankful to get to hold his paw right up until the end. He's with Sophie and Chewie now. It never gets easier. . . . #rainbowbridge #dogangel #adoptdontshop

Want more free funny? Comment "Free books" and I'll send you to Dog eat Doug collections full of Sophie! And don't miss her new adventures in the graphic novels. Books 1 and 2 are out now. Link in my bio. Not sure how useful it is, but I suppose it's a superpower. Used to love when my son would make mouth bubbles, totally unaware that he looked like some hairless being from Atlantis. . . . #familyfriendly #funny #webcomics #cartooning #comics

If you would like to read a bunch more Dog eat Doug comics, comment "Free Books" and I'll send you two collections worth of Sophie and the gang. Working on the fourth Sophie graphic novel today. Hoping I can sneak Gunnar or Weezy into this book. . . . #familyfriendly #Sophie #digitalcomic #funny #webcomics #cartooning #graphicnovel #comics #comicpanel

A Poem for Halloween

Happy Halloween!

halloweenpoem_2016_web

Happy Halloween! Thought I'd reformat Sunday's comic to make it easier to read. I think you can tell I based the art on my favorite movie of all time, "Pan's Labyrinth". Well, it's tied with "The Nightmare before Christmas" but obviously it's impossible to compare the two.

Also, thought I'd share a link to a lovely bit of Halloween history, courtesy of History.com. The Irish roots of the holiday are almost as fun as free candy. Part of me wishes we kept some of those old traditions:

Also wanted to add this fantastic article on a bunch of fun stuff to do with your dog during the best holiday of the year:

7 Ways to Celebrate Halloween with Your Dog

And of course, it's the only time of year when it's socially acceptable to share my deep love of vintage Halloween photos. If you've never ventured down that rabbit hole, I highly recommend taking a stroll down the path of the creepiest, most unsettling images you'll ever see. I'll leave you with one of my favorites:

Have fun tonight and stay safe.
