TITLE: The Highly Accurate and 100% Correct in Every Way Anatomy of Dogs SUB HEADING: Anatomy of a Corgi DESCRIPTION: A golden corgi stands looking over his shoulder. A white diamond on his forehead leads to a white muzzle and white chest. He has a fluffy butt with a long tail sticking up. He looks very happy with wide eyes, tongue out, standing on a patch of green grass. Pointing to his head: The smile of a kid who somehow got TWO ice creams. Pointing to neck: Is the definition of “unearned confidence” Pointing to fluffy part of neck: Imagine having a turtleneck you could never take off. Pointing to top of head: When your head is THOR, but your body is Ant-Man Pointing to previous joke: It’s like the full-size head of Dr. Evil got fused to the body of Mini-Me. Pointing to butt: First in line when God was handing out “Most human looking butt cheeks.” Pointing to butt: Lookout dat! Dassa butt. Pointing to butt: Dassa Butt-butt-butt. —— Get the book now at DogKickstarter.com! Want 5,000 more comics like this?

New saddest 6 word story
Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general.
If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.
That means today is gonna be special! I’ve *never* heard So. Central Rain in the wild. And I grew up in Atlanta!
Those are beautiful! So adorable and elegant! 🥰☕️☕️

Nooooo! 😭 I’m so sorry! I also get lazy when I’m pencilling and then it suddenly takes me a whole day to do a panel because I have to plan it out! I started adding boxes (that get bigger), plants, picture frames, rocks… anything that fits on a shelf! Whatever it takes to not draw those spines! 😉❤️📚
When I got into comics I didn’t think I’d have to draw so many people opening doors from a great variety of angles

Gonna need more non-disabled people to see stuff like this and understand that ableism is also one of the integral -isms the right is devoted to, so it should be jettisoned whenever and in whomever you encounter it

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.
