Duck Season

Ducks can find the behavior of people very confusing. They sometimes get bummed out by the changing of the seasons. Good thing they still know how to have a good time!

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.

Police Reports

Hard boiled Detective Percival Hardcase follows the clues, fills out the paperwork, sometimes does a spell check, and ALWAYS gets the bad guys.

Dog Lover

This guy loves dogs. I mean REALLY loves them. Maybe you’re this guy? Perhaps someone you know is this guy? If so, I hope y’all find some dogs to dote upon today!

The World’s Greatest Hotted Dog

The World’s Greatest Hotted Dog is one of my favorite Birthday Street characters. He was created by Matt Sutter as a part of our collaborative comic endeavor with Kevin Cornell. Kevin is in the process of reposting colorized versions of all of the Birthday Street stuff and I’ve been hit with a wave of nostalgia as I page through them.

It took a little while for this little hot dog to show up in the series. In fact it wasn’t until the 148 comic! You can see here what makes him so great:
To me he’s sort of like the cartoon mascot in a commercial for cereal. He’s sassy, surprising, good natured, and a pretty cool dude. Somebody you wish was your best friend. I never attempted my own comics featuring the W.G.H.D. Probably because it’s intimidating to create one with a character that doesn’t speak. Since Birthday Street’s goal was to be a humor site, creating visual gags didn’t play to my strengths. Matt and Kevin did such an excellent job with this character and I enjoyed his every appearance.

Birthday Street In Color

Kevin Cornell has been hard at work adding a bit of color to the older Birthday Street comics. In other exciting news they’re now posted on Tumblr! Share them with your friends and family! The whole series isn’t uploaded yet, but there’s more than plenty to look at. TGIF!!!
