Gunplay

This was a really hard strip to set up, as there were a bunch of characters all sitting horizontally, and I needed to keep a space in the center for the gun to be clearly seen. It was tricky, but I think it worked well enough.

Total Chaos By Sarah Parr

This was a guest strip drawn for the FIRST anniversary of the strip, back in 2002 by the incredibly talented Sarah Parr. Check out here body of work HERE.

Get Out!

UPDATE: Hey there, Dandy-philes! I’m getting set to move out of my current apartment and into a NEW one in April. So if you’ve ever thought about making a donation or a commission request, this would be a REALLY, REALLY good time! I’m just sayin’.

Some folks have asked me why, in an all-ages strip, did I choose for my mysterious villain to brandish a realistic gun rather than something more fanciful, and in all reality, I did it because I didn’t want the choice of weapon to lead to folks using it to try and figure out WHO or WHAT the baddy IS. That, and in a strip where superweapons are commonplace, there was more surprise to be had with a realistic handgun. (And if you look back, it’s not the only time in the archives that a realistic gun has been seen.)

Into the bushes

I have to admit that I’m having a lot of fun complicating the plot here. I’m experimenting with more open-ended adventures that blead from one to the other more fluidly rather that with a more definitive ending.

Exhausted

For those of you stopping by for the first time thanks to my newest guest strips running over at Scott Kurtz’s PvP, welcome to Dandy & Company. Of course, since my guest strips were prompted by Scott becoming ill, I hadn’t really PLANNED for anything going on around here to be particularly introductory for new readers. In fact, you’re kind of stopping by near the END of a big story line.

But for the new readers stopping by for the first time, Dandy & Company is the off-beat adventures of a boy and his dog. (Or a Dog and his boy, if you ask the dog.) You can become accuainted with the characters and their world in our ever-expanding archives, or just pop into our forums and say hello. Either way, I hope you have a look around and enjoy your stay. (And come back to visit! We’ve got new strips 5 days a week, after all!

And, of course, this isn’t the FIRST time i’ve ever drawn the PvP cast before. In fact, aside from my previous guest strips for Scott, I was also granted permission to use the PvP gang for a good MONTH worth of strips right here in Dandy & Company. Click here to see Dandy & Bernard square off against Francis & Skull in a race to get the latest and greatest video game system! It’s a really fun adventure that’s PvPrific!
