Been drawing lots of dogs lately for the Mann and Lucky Channel Vol 24: Be my Boyfriends!

Three frames with drawings of dogs. First one is Bailey, a speckled border collie with heterochromia, second is Maca, Coco, a white Pom and Chester the Yorkie terrier all sleeping together, last is Kevin sleeping with Maca and Coco. Maca is a large brown mutt.

This is your reminder to reuse that post that really zinged last month. Recycle that old sketch. Repackage that comic. It's OK. Social media rewards consistency.

ComicLab advice: "The biggest (marketing) mistake cartoonists make is assuming people are paying attention."

Stop putting it off. Draw that comic today!

Some people would do ANYTHING to be a cartoonist ...except draw a comic.

Experimenting with traditional art, it’s definitely been a while! I think I’m slightly partial to the pencil crayons more…
