A much needed Moxie update. 💖

That’s my grandma with her. She did really well at our Christmas family gathering. It’s been cold and we haven’t gotten out much between frigid temps and winter storms, but she’s been really well behaved and taking it all in stride. She wants to be with us all the time. She will go to bed when asked, and follows all her commands like a very good girl. She pisses off her Aussie brothers quite regularly, lol, because they’re just a tad old for her puppy shenanigans. But she really is shaping into such a sweet companion. I’m grateful every day to still have a little bully girl who likes to cuddle.

i don't post her here often, as she *hates* cameras, but i figured for today she deserves to be shown as the brilliant star she is. happy birthday, opal!

(fun fact, those last two are the same dog, but i wasn't happy with the left one as a portrait/likeness so i repainted from different reference)

Breaking the Chain: The Guard Dog Story (Mutts) by Patrick McDonnell. Abrams ComicArts, 2024. 9781419779084. 192pp.

This is the story of the guard dog in the comic strip Mutts. It's the beautiful "conclusion" to the story of a dog left outside that is finally forgotten, abandoned, and then saved. It's a gift book sure to make dog lovers (and even cat lovers like me) shed tears.

The book contains some of McDonnell's initial sketches, earlier comics featuring the guard dog, an introduction that will be especially meaningful for Peanuts fans, and a selection of quotes showing the response to the featured sequence of comic strips, which appeared in Mutts at the end of 2023. There are also dog photos and stories of dog adoptions plus a resource guide at the end.

McDonnell's art is always amazing, and seeing it enlarged, one-panel to a page for much of the book, made me appreciate it even more. Give this book to your friends. Give it to your enemies. Read it to your kids and your four-legged pals, too.

And if somehow you've never heard of Mutts, you can find it at https://mutts.com/

Two part commission from back in June, of two very pretty adventure dogs. It was interesting to do such very similar but very different markings!

If you'd like a critter, please check out Bittythings and Beasts.

Showing off her signature head-tilt that definitely got her adopted.

Guess who jumped on the counter and ate mashed potatoes while we were telling everyone who came to Thanksgiving goodbye?

She still hates photos - a walk is the only time I can catch her - and she's still a very happy old girl! Happy birthday, Opal! 💞

I hope you're all ready for me to be really annoying about the comic I (and my partner) are making. In it we ask a very important question: if dogs are supposedly sensitive to ghosts, wouldn't werewolves be too?

The M.U.T.T.S. book 1 will be out this October!
