Moss Piglet (March 2023): Every Dog Has Its Day

Moss Piglet (March 2023):
Every Dog Has Its Day

(Click on the Pics to Embiggen)

I believe I mentioned I send work to a small art magazine out of Wisconsin, "Moss Piglet" (I did the covers to the July 2022 and September 2022 issues).  They do monthly prompts as a theme for the magazine and the prompt for March 2023 was "Man's Best Friend".  As usual, a lot of thought about the topic went absolutely nowhere.  Then, at the last minute (again, as usual), I got an idea for a story about the secret life of a dog saving people's lives, preventing an alien invasion, fighting monsters, etc., while the owner thinks it is the laziest dog in the world.

Unfortunately, the idea came a few days before the deadline, so I had to rush things along and didn't even have time to color it, etc.  But, as it is a two-page comic, I figured it could go on this Blog and thought a few of you may find it amusing.  Don't worry, March M.O.D.O.K. Madness starts tomorrow... 😉

Yeah, I know, I can't draw animals for sour apples.

Unwanted Valentines: Motel Hell (1980)

  Unwanted Valentines:
Motel Hell (1980)

It's another Unwanted Valentine--Valentines so nerdy and built upon horrible puns that no one would be pleased to receive them... especially a loved one!  This time it's Vincent Smith (Rory Calhoun) wearing a pig's head from "Motel Hell" (1980).  Hmmm, I guess I could have gone a little more blue with my pun and mentioned the "Special Meat".
