A POP of color!

< Back / FIRST / Next >

Welcome to Mae's new home, the Freedom Arms Condos. Every now and again, I like to take advantage of the fact that I CAN do color even though I don't, to punch a joke like this.

More Depression

< Back / FIRST / Next >

"To the surprise of no one" could be an alternate title here.

The Beginning of the End

< Back / FIRST / Next >

As we near the launch of the new strips next Wednesday, it behooves me to end these re-cap strips with the more depressing elements of the last few story arcs of the strip's prior incarnation.

Bernard's parents decided, after years of not particularly liking each other, to call it quits. While not legally divorced yet, they are currently separated. George, Bernard and Dandy still live in the same house, but Mae moved in with her Mother at a condo in Cleveland. Bernard spends every other weekend there.

What, it can't all be sunshine and rainbows! LIFE IS PAIN! Anyone saying otherwise is selling something!

Lutie the Alligator

< Back / FIRST / Next >

A few years ago, Dandy found himself being used as bait in a Florida wildlife show and he proved tasty enough to prompt one of the gators to follow him all the way back to his home in Ohio. This would be Lutie.

She now makes her home in the local pond and is provided generous portions of fried chicken to sate her appetite, and has stopped trying to eat the gang.

Lutie ended up becoming good friends with Maryweather and Pumpkin and this EXTREMELY unlikely trio often have their own adventures while the boys are preoccupied.

Pumpkin's Cause

< Back / FIRST / Next >

This is Pumpkin. She's one of Maryweather's best friends and the queen of righteous indignation. She has a ranch from which he hosts regular self-help groups trying to teach domesticated dogs how to free the wild dog within!

And as seen above, is a VERY vocal supporter of all animal rights!

Life Drawing

< Back / FIRST / Next >

Audrey is not above using her friends to get ahead in whatever project she's engaging in next.

Watch the Feet!

< Back / FIRST / Next >

While not a strip that introduces any characters, it DOES establish some of the dynamics of Dandy's relationship with his little brother, Mistake. He's very irritated by Mistake's perkiness and enthusiasm, but is not above using Mistake's genius to his own advantage.

FYI, as puppies, Dandy chose the name of his little brother, deeming the need for another dog other than him "a mistake". It somehow stuck.

Meet the "Evils"!

< Back / FIRST / Next >

The very details explanation for the most self-indulgent concept can be read above. This is "Evil Dandy" & "Evil Bernard". They are the most regular, recurring and oddly popular villains in the strip. (Except, maybe for Dandy's OLDER brother, Snuffles, but he's currently dead and not as relevant.)

Audrey McKimmson: Artist at Large!

< Back / FIRST / Next >

This is Audrey. She's both Bernard's overbearing love interest, Maryweather's owner AND my avatar for when I've feeling creatively challenged. In many respects, she is the character that most represents me and my personality: Creative but insecure about it. Short tempered and self-centered more often then she should be and emotionally needy.

Meet George

< Back / FIRST / Next >

This is George, Bernard's father. He and Mae really stopped getting along a LONG time ago. Bernard's an old school 80's comic and sci/fi nerd, but isn't allowed to really express that with Mae keeping a tight leash on his interests and emotions. George used to be an architect, but lost that job in the economic downturn of recent years and has resorted to doing janitorial at the local zoo.

Meet Mae

< Back / FIRST / Next >

This is Mae Brooks, perpetually put upon mother of Bernard. You will rarely see this woman smiling. She also DESPISES Dandy with a heated passion usually reserved for Nazi war criminals.

Comics Planet

< Back / FIRST / Next >

Meet Kelly Santos, the owner and operator of COMICS PLANET! It will aid you to know that Bernard is a HUGE comic and sci/fi nerd also works at the local comic shop after school.

Mistake and Mr. Fuzzy

< Back / FIRST / Next >

So, with the premier of brand NEW strips, and this website's lack of a true archive of the last DECADE of strips to help new readers familiarize themselves with the gang, I'll be running classic strips that serve to introduce you all to the various characters of "Dandy & Company" a little.

This, is Dandy's little brother, Mistake! And this is pretty much what you need to know most about him. He's a super genius who loves to build techno gadgets like his buddy there, Mr. Fuzzy. But he's still a hyper-positive, energetic little kid.

With just a few weeks until BRAND NEW "Dandy & Co." strips start back up, I thought it would be a good idea to run a few of the essential short stories and strips to get folks up to date with the world of "D&C" and the partially insane folks that live there! So, enjoy this classic short story from 2004 that sets up Dandy, Bernard, Bernard's put upon parent George and Mae and the general crux of the series: Dandy REALLY likes to prank Bernard.

Yeah, when this strip was created, the schedule was 7 black and white, horizontal strips like this one and a large color strip every Sunday. Those were the heady days when I wasn't drawing 3 other comics at the same time I was drawing the strip.
