Well, obviously today’s strip is a homage to the late, great Charles Schulz’s classic comic and animated masterpiece, PEANUTS. But it’s also inspired by a recent homage strip rendered INCREDIBLY by D.C. Simpson of OZY and MILLIE, staring his titular characters as if they were drawn by the incomparable Walt Kelly of POGO! D.C. captured Kelly’s artwork, line sensitivity and HUMOR so perfectly, that I had to give today’s strip a try. I still think D.C. did HIS homage better, but I had a lot of fun anyway.
As for the strips content NOT being the gang in costumes, I have to admit that while I LOVE Halloween I really didn’t want to do a story like that for the same reasons as Dandy… I just finished the Demon story and didn’t want to do another similar looking gag. Of course, some of you may recal I did a similar “Peanuts” themed gag LAST year around this time… but I was never quite happy with how that turned out.

Hey there, folks. I’m writing to keep you all in the loop regarding my current medical condition. I don’t know how OTHER folks deal with Kidney Stones, but i can tell you they are KILLING me. I’ve been to the ER twice for pain and nausea and am so regularly medicated that I haven’t been able to focus on any one thing long enough to even watch a movie start to finish on DVD. Seriously, I’m out of it. As such, the strip is on hold until I can get back on my feet. Thanks for bearing with me… this is NOT permanent. In fact, I have an AWESOME idea for the story for Christmas this year I can’t wait to get too.
I’d also like to add, that since I’m STILL not working regularly and this mini-crisis cut into my funds considerably, this would be an EXCELLENT time to make a donation or commission request. Every little bit will help.

While in human contexts, I suppose spaying and neutering one’s pets is a good idea, I CAN’T imagine the idea going over well in a population of humanized animals. I know I wouldn’t be for it, at least, were I in their proverbial shoes.

Dandy clearly doesn’t remember what Mistake has already figured out, that Pumpkin doesn’t HAVE restrooms at her lodge. It’s part of her whole rebelling against human lifestyles and the like.
