Maryweather is being a LITTLE spunkier than normal here, but can you blame her? How often does the gang have Dandy at such a disadvantage. That, and I LOVED drawing her with the hat on.

I have very little to add to this strip other than the kinda obvious statement that this cannot end well. I mean, seriously… when do Mistake’s inventions end with hearts and flowers?

Hope to see you this weekend at the all-new, ORLANDO Comic Convention, here in way-too-sunny Florida. I’ll be there all weekend, selling comics, doing drawings and having a blast! Hope to see some DandyFanatics there!

Love it or hate it… (I love it, for the record.) Here’s the cast of D&C in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.

Of course, I have to keep recasting the characters with each new gag, but Dandy as Darth Maul should be worth the price of admission alone!

Tune in next Sunday for ATTACK OF THE CLONES!

Hope to see you this weekend at the all-new, ORLANDO Comic Convention, here in way-too-sunny Florida. I’m probably there RIGHT NOW, selling comics, doing drawings and having a blast! Hope to see some DandyFanatics there!

Desperation makes for strange bedfellows. On any other day, Dandy would hardly step NEAR such a contraption, but the dog is clearly desperate.

Now, I have to admit, this particulat story is a bit sillier than I’ve done in a while, but while drawing these strips, I’ve been watching the ANIMANIACS on DVD pretty much non-stop. That tends to stir up the love of the silly.

UPDATE: TOTAL CHAOS RETURNS!
You heard… or read… correctly! Starting the week of October 9th, in celebration of Dandy & Company’s FIFTH anniversary online, I’ll be taking the week off and leaving the strip in the able hands… OF YOU!!!!

That’s right, it’s TOTAL CHAOS V: Revenge of the Guest Artists! Now, I know what you’re thinking… Derrick, you dink, there wasn’t a Total Chaos IV… how can this be number V? Well, there wasn’t an officially announced guest week last year in october, but I DID call in help from guest artists to assist me for a week during Beanie-Quest III with guest strips. So, as such, there WAS an impromptu guest week last year, and I’m COUNTIN’ it, dang nabbit! So we’re at 5… I mean V!

With that all behind us, I’m trying to wrangle up a couple of “Name” artists to pitch in this time, but am still going to open the floor to submissions from you all… the Dandy Fans out there! I’ll cram as many strips as I can into that week, so sharpen those pencils and get crackin’! Dandy & Co. needs you! Submissions begin immediately and continue unti the week of October 9th. All submissions can be no larger than 950 px wide, but any height you want in either color or black and white. Keep in mind that all strips MUST adhear to the ‘all ages appropriate” standard that this strip strives for… other than THAT, enjoy!

At first, you may think that Mistake looks way too big, but it’s just that Dandy SHRUNK. ;)

Look at him… he looks like jerky!
