"Snowman Stackin'", a Princess Pups comic by Lindsay Hornsby Comic Panel 1: Outside on a cold day, TeaCup Pup, Pug Pup, and Scruffy Pup are in their winter hats and scarves looking up with happy pride at a mostly-finished snowman. Their snowman has eyes and a mouth from small rocks and a big carrot nose! A large top hat sits on the ground between the pups, waiting to be put on the snowman’s head

Comic Panel 2: On the other side of the snowy hill away from the pups’ snowman, TeaCup Pup is searching for sticks to use as arms. She’s found one already and is about to pick up another.

Comic Panel 3: TeaCup Pup arrives back at the snowman with the sticks. She’s puzzled as she looks up at the snowman’s head. Both Pug Pup and Scruffy Pup are wedged into the snowman’s shoulders so that only their heads and one front leg per pup sticks out. Pug Pup and Scruffy Pup are caught in the act of eating the carrot nose!

Comic Panel 4: TeaCup Pup smiles pleasantly as she’s managed to put the top hat on both Pug Pup and Scruffy Pup at the same time. They’re now the two heads of the snowman and have happily gobbled up all of the carrot! The original snowman’s head is slowly sliding down the side of the body with the rock smile now turned into a vague frown.

NEW(!) Princess Pups comic: "Snowman Stackin'" 👑🐶❤️⛄

"Pumpkin", page 1, a Princess Pups comic by Lindsay Hornsby A long comic panel reads the comic’s title, “Pumpkin” in blocky lettering. On either side are cartoony pumpkins each with a face of one of the Princess Pups carved into it looking happy Comic Panel 1: Interior of a kitchen, three Princess Pups are making pie dough on a kitchen counter. Fluff Pup has an excited word balloon with an image of a delicious slice of pumpkin pie in it and an exclamation point. TeaCup Pup and Corgi Pup are working on kneading the dough. Comic Panel 2: Closer shot of Fluff Pup excitedly with a word balloon of a whole pumpkin as TeaCup Pup and Corgi Pup clap in anticipation of going to get a pumpkin for their pie! Comic Panel 3: Outside of a pumpkin patch, run by a grey goat with a solemn expression. Fluff Pup happily points past the wooden arches of the gate to piles of pumpkins growing inside. TeaCup Pup and Corgi Pup are following Fluff Pup inside the gate. Comic Panel 4: Corgi Pup looks off to the right with glee as Fluff Pup examines a large pumpkin carefully. Comic Panel 5: Corgi Pup has flopped on top of a large pumpkin that’s her pick for the pie. TeaCup Pup and Fluff Pup stare at it as they lick their lips in anticipation of making a pumpkin pie! Comic Panel 6: Outside the pumpkin patch gates, Corgi Pup is balancing the pumpkin on her back as she and TeaCup pup head out. Fluff Pup is waving with a smile at the goat to thank him. The goat keeps his serious-looking face but waves back to her.

"Pumpkin", page 2, a Princess Pups comic by Lindsay Hornsby Comic Panel 1: Back inside their caste, Fluff Pup carefully holds the pumpkin on the floor. TeaCup Pup is wagging her tail as she uses a small saw to slice the top of the pumpkin off. Corgi Pup waits nearby with a pie crust at the ready. All three pups are eager to make this pie! Comic Panel 2: A large, greenish-brown BLORP! overtakes the panel from the pumpkin as piles of pumpkin guts slop onto the floor once the pumpkin’s top falls away. All three pups look aghast and startled at this gross display. Comic Panel 3: A similar panel (sans sound effect) as the three pups look carefully at each other, thinking. Comic Panel 4: Exterior of a bakery. There’s a happy cloud meeple outside waving as Fluff Pup, TeaCup Pup, and Corgi Pup leave with pleased expressions. Each pup has a freshly-baked pumpkin pie on their back!

The final panel of "Candy Apples": Sitting on the floor of the kitchen, Pug Pup is delighted to lick her paws, which she’s covered in the candy-apple coatings (instead of putting them on an apple!). Nearby, Corgi Pup and TeaCup Pup are munching on completed candy apples and giving Pug Pup some serious side eye.

...ah, of course: Pug Pup prefers to skip the apples and go right to the candy! 🍬
