And here’s Bernard’s father, George. I’m not playing him QUITE as stupid as I’ve done so in the past here. Let’s hope time has given him SOME wisdom.

Some of you have also noted that Bernard’s hat is now BLACK instead of the old 40% grey of the pre-hiatus strips. It’s just an artistic choice to make the strip a little bolder. If he’s wearing his Beanie hat, it’s still the same Red and Yellow it used to be.

One of the more frequent criticisms of this strip I’ve read, is that things rarely change and characters don’t grow. Personally, I think most of these critics must be reading something else entirely and not MY archives.

While things are hardly moving in “real time”, my cast has done more growing that most comic strips, online or off. Today’s strip is a SMALL example of that growth. Bernad isn’t out-and-out STUPID. He knows a Dandy set up when he sees one.

–UPDATE–
I’ve officially finished ALL of the commission drawings ordered and will be shipping them ALL out this week to their owners. So if you ordered an original drawing, keep your eyes peeled in the next few days! “WHEW”

Here’s the return of Will Rodriquez’s MIGHTY MANGLER! Of course, in this strip, he’s in his civilian identy of Mimo Mangulario… frequent employer of Bernard’s babysitting skills. I love getting to play with Will’s characters and plan to have them pop up MUCH more in the strip.

George is a tricky character for me. He’s only about mid-thirties…. 40 at the MOST, but he looks MUCH older. So much so, that some readers have thought he was Bernard’s GRANDfather. I try to de-age him slowly, over time. If you go backwards through the archives, you’ll see that as time passes, he’s getting a lot of his hair back. It’s freaky!

Dandy’s nature as a dog is often the source of lots of questions and confusion. I’m often forced to fall back on the old… “It’s JUST a comic strip” excuse.
