For reasons that will reveal themselves over time, Calpurnia has taken an interest in Dandy's activities. In this case, largely to antagonize him.

I felt like with the weekly schedule often putting months between character appearances, it was fitting to re-establish what Pumpkin here is all about.

Dandy & Company: Short Cuts 1

Check it out. I'm developing a series of short, rough animated cartoons featuring all of your favorite characters from DANDY & COMPANY! More details to come as I more forward with a few more of these.

The idea is that I would really love to be able to tell a longer story with these guys in ANIMATED form, but need a bit more practice to refine what I can realistically pull off. And that's where these new shorts will come in. I'm keeping them rough for now, but hopefully they will also be FUN. Hope you dig them!

A Boiling Point

Prank strips are ALWAYS fun to draw and always tough to plan. Trying to figure out the timing and how much to explain in dialogue and how much to let just SHOW is always a tricky balance. Sometimes I succeed and sometimes not so much. I'm hoping that this series of gags work.

Part of the core idea behind this story is to show that ultimately, Dandy doesn't really mean anyone harm with his pranks. They are supposed to be in good fun more often then not, even though he tends to get VERY carried away. Calpurnia entering the fray is a reality check for Dandy.

A Stern Warning

When I first introduced CALPURNIA years ago, she was a literal super villain plotting to take over the world with an army or robot cats. Since then, I've slowly been weaving her into the "family" setting one baby step at a time. With this story, I'm hoping to cement her status in the family dynamic.

This was inspired by little more then an article I had seen on my own facebook regarding the same topic George mentions above. The rest fell rather naturally into place.

Now, as I was writing this strip in early April, this was totally the case. We had Snow on a Saturday and it was in the 70's by that Monday, which inspired this overall gag. It's also the MOST I will ever dip into "politics" in this strip.

If only I had an ACTUAL Dandy at the time, maybe at least one of the movies I wanted to make as a kid would have happened! Le Sigh.

Audrey is, in many ways, a stand in for ME in the strip and as such, she often has WAY more enthusiasm for creative projects then any of her friends. I can easily say that this is something that happened a LOT to me as a kid when I wanted to try and make movies and the like and was met with apathy. Now I draw my own comics and everyone else can suck it! lol

It's fun bringing Audrey back into the spotlight for a bit. I miss her character. For this strip, my original plans were to actually show Audrey and Bernard IN a school play. But then I realized that Audrey is based on ME at that age and I was regularly shut out of such activities either by other kids that didn't like me or apathetic parents that wouldn't take me to after school activities.
As such, this is the exact kind of thing I tried doing a LOT as a kid and is kind of why this comic strip even exists in the firs place.

I admit that everything I know about the assassination of President Garfield comes from "Assassination Vacation" by Sarah Vowell. It's a great book, fyi.

Also, Google helped me determine that he was ACTUALLY shot on a Saturday. And it was technically a train station lobby in Washington, not a "Subway", but I needed a word that rhymed with Monday, dagnabbit!

No, not "Hamilton"

The play is a spoof of the almost annoyingly popular Broadway musical, "Hamilton".

I'm pretty sure I've drawn Dandy's skeleton before. But it's always kinda creepy to do so. THIS punchline is partly inspired by the character of BLIGHT from Batman Beyond.

I'm trying to reduce pop culture references a bit in the strip. But in cases like this, where the reference is DECADES old, I'm less concerned about them dating the strip.
