While I DO love me some pickles, I don’t think I’d sell my soul for them. Maybe someone ELSE’S soul, but not my own.

That said, don’t strain yourself wondering who this guy is. He’s not an existing character… he’s not based on anyone I know… he’s just a guy I made up because I needed some random person. I THOUGHT about maybe doing a caricature of a friend, but that might have come off as too… specific. I dunno. But anywho.. it’s a throwaway design, so don’t get all attached.

Now, on second thought, there’s a deli in New Jersey called “Harold’s” that has a Pickle bar in it that I MIGHT consider making a sale for.

While Herb’s been around in the background of the strip a while now, he’s not really a core cast member and really is never involved in any of the crazier things that happen to the main gang. So, of course, Bernard doesn’t want to tell herb that he spent the summer as a DOG just prior to his dog becoming a demon. That sort of thing rarely ends well.

My original intention here was to have a big ol’ thought balloon in the third panel with pics of Bernard as a dog and demon Dandy to slam the point home, but I think his expression sells it well enough and it’s not like I go subtle around here TOO often. It was nice for a change.

Dandy & Company’s COMMUNITY THEATER is BACK! With the return of the commissions program, I’ve generated enough original art to keep the Sunday’s filled up throughout the end of the year. So, in a way, this is YOUR day now!

And you can be a part of the fun by making a request for your OWN ORIGINAL “Dandy & Co.” ART! It’s an original, hand drawn “D&C” piece made to YOUR specifications, and NOW that the commissions will be fueling Sunday’s around here, you can REALLY be a part of the action. Just click here for details!

I have to admit that i’ve been tremendously inconsistant with Skeezicks’ speech pattern. Somtimes he taks like Thor, and sometimes he doesn’t. If I had to offer up an explaination (outside of the fact that I slipped up a few times) I’d say that he’s essentially faking the psudo-pompous speech to seem more impressive than he really is.

I’m not explaining the joke if you don’t get it. ;)
