Duck Season: Pond

Being a duck is tough. Especially when it comes to trying to understand human behavior.

Book ‘Em

Here’s the thrilling conclusion to one of Detective Hardcase’s hardest case. If none of this makes sense, well, you just have to watch the other two shorts.

Number One Suspect

Film noir Detective Percival Hardcase gives suspects a working over. Hard questions lead to hard answers and… maybe a break for coffee. Things are gritty on the darker side of Birthday Street.

Do-Over

I wasn’t happy with an earlier version of this drawing so I did it over again. It’s important to properly depict the fantastical moment when a cat transforms into a girl or a girl transforms from a cat back into a girl. Maybe, hopefully, I can move on with my life now.

Clubhouse Covers And Splashes

As I’ve mentioned in the past, I run an afterschool comic book club at my children’s school. I give a little presentation and outline for projects at the beginning of each meeting. When I talk about how to make comic book covers and splash pages it’s the first time that the students get to use markers and pens to ink their drawings. In order to demonstrate how to do this I prepare a number of sample penciled drawings and ink them in front of the students to show them what to do. Here are some pieces I couldn’t help myself from finishing after the session was over. One that’s a nod to one of my favorite artists growing up and some with K-Pop Demon Hunters vibes. Kudos to you if you can name that inspirational artist and the referenced cover. 😉

A Rainy Day

Rainy days can be frustrating. They can steal your joy. Maybe rainy days even make you feel a little bit sick, but they can be beautiful too. What do you do on a rainy day? How do they make you feel?

Awwwww-ful

Dr. Doctor M.D. is a helpful sort. Let’s look in to see how he helps out a lumpy patient. Hint: the results are “awwwww-ful”.

This is the third installment of a Birthday Street comics thread. When any of the three creators would undertake making a comic, they would start by working off of some element from the comic that preceded it. In this trio of animations (World’s Greatest Hotted-Dog, Quincy vs. Frankfurter, and now this) it follows through one small arc of those threads. Starting with anthropomorphic hotdogs, then treatment for (maybe) imagined anthropomorphic hotdogs, and finally the doctor character.
