The fiercest warrior needs the most good natured steed

Doesn’t matter if there’s a heatwave or snowfall. You will always see both someone in a heavy coat and in shorts with flip flops on any given street

It’s like getting a haircut. I know people who collected the shed fur of their dogs and had scarves made of it

Watercolour illustration of a sheep in clothes, with a lamb on her knee. The sheep is dressed in a skirt, cap, and is wearing a red shawl. She is sitting on a small stool, and the lamb on her lap is wearing a green dress. The lamb is reading out of a book, while the sheep is plucking at the lamb’s wool to spin with a handheld spindle

Spinning yarn with mama

A four panel comic of a cartoon fox and a sheep. The fox is standing behind a shop counter and is wearing a dark blue apron, the sheep is grey and white. In the first panel the sheep is walking up to the counter and the fox is saying “Good morning!” With a smile the second panel is a close up on the Fox’ head, it is saying “what can I do f-“. At the edge of the panel the sheep’s hoof is touching a blue-ish panel with words on it, they are cut off. The third panel is the fox looking shocked while the sheep smiles expectantly. A panel of transparent material is hovering in front of the fox, with all caps “skip dialogue” written on it. In the final panel the fox is leaning past the transparent panel which the sheep is pushing. The fox is yelling “hey!”

You expect a lot of rude behaviour working with customers, but being treated like you’re an NPCs is surprising

Watercolour illustration of people walking dogs. On top of the image it says “opposites attract”. The first illustration is of a tan Great Dane with a red collar. It is being walked by a small old lady in a purple coat, grey skirt, and red hat. She is holding the leash and smiling, the dog is taller than her. The second illustration is a broadly build balding man in a blue track suit and wearing sandals. He is walking a very small white and brown terrier, that doesn’t reach his knee

Usually they say dogs and owners are the same. Sometimes apparently not so much

A four panel comic of cartoon animals. In the first a fox is sitting curled up under a blanket, holding a remote and saying “lets watch some kind of competition TV show. I love seeing creative people display their skills!” Second panel is a beaver speaking excitedly, there is a slightly rounded black border around the panel, like an old fashioned tv set. The beaver is saying “winning would really mean a lot, of course. But i mostly want the price money since it’s hard to make a living with this.” Third panel is like the second, now the beaver is looking at the viewer with a stressed expression and saying “this is my only chance at happiness and a career. Between school debts and keeping myself and my family alive this price money is my last hope. If I don’t win I have to give up my dreams. Ha ha” Fourth panel is the fox, under a blanket and holding a knitting project. It looks devastated and sad

Competition shows increasingly feel like people fighting for their life, not to show off their skills and craft

A watercolour and colour pencil illustration. In the background a bright green pea pod is lying on the ground, slightly open. Instead of peas two little yellow chicks are nestled inside it, with a space between them. Another chick is standing slightly in front of them, bent towards the ground where a few dots indicate seeds it could peck at

Chick Peas

Four panel comic, featuring a red fox, a grey cat, and a flying fox Panel 1: Cat: “who are you talking to there?” Fox, holding a phone: “my distant relative in Australia” Panel 2: Fox, speaking from a phone: “say hi to cat!” The face of a fox, upside down: “hi” Panel 3: Cat: “don’t you think it’s a dumb stereotype to draw Australians that way?” Fox: “huh?” Panel 4: Zoomed out view on the upside down fox, revealing that it’s a flying fox so it’s upside down because of this, not because of a joke about Australians being upside down Flying fox: “like what?”

Some things, like foxes, really are upside down in Australia

I’m posting comics and other stuff as well! If it’s not fox comics it’s mostly work in progress things

Just a few days of bad bed time and you suffer for weeks!

Digital comic of a small brown bat on a dark background, each of the four panels have white writing Panel 1: South east asia has a type if bat with unusual behaviour Panel 2 (the bat is flying) The Hardwicke’s Woolly Bat has a mutualistic relationship with pitcher plants Panel 3 (the bat is approaching a pitcher plant) For the bat the pitcher plant is a nice safe space to sleep in. They are too big to slip down too deep and touch digestive fluids Panel 4 (the bat sits inside the plant) The plant? Gets food fertiliser directly from the source (poop)

Woolly Bats…
I just think they’re really neat

Three panels of a comic In the first panel a pigeon is asking an annoyed looking cat “what’s with fox today?” The second panel shows a fox in the distance, hunched over with fur bristling. A speech bubble says “sleep deprived…” Third panel shows the fox in a blurred purple and green cloud, wide eyed and disoriented. Hard to read words, doodles, and sound effects surround it without much cohesion. The fox is overwhelmed and has thoughts going nowhere before fading away

You ever miss one proper night’s sleep and suddenly you’re in the dungeon dimension

A comic in two panels. The first is solid black with blurred dancing lights. The words say “a will-o’-the-wisp”? The second panel is a dark grey, showing a person in a big jacket and a dog on a lead. The dog has a glowing lit up collar, the words say “no! A shiny dog!”

It’s the season of seeing strange dancing lights in the darkness and realising a dog is coming towards you

A four panel comic of foxes, one slightly larger and a paler orange First panel, the small fox has a speech bubble “people in my family don’t really talk about emotions or affection. I should do it more Second panel, small fox: “hey mum! I love you, give my love to the others too!” Third panel, larger fox is looking at the smaller in surprise Fourth panel, smaller fox looks annoyed, larger fox looks agitated and is speaking: “oh no! What happened? Are you alright!?”

The entire family can’t express emotions

I wish the tiniest change in emotions wasn’t causing a nuclear meltdown in my brain, but it seems we can’t have everything in life

Woolly Bats…

A painting of a cat in front of a yellow background. The cat is green and has darker green wavy lines on it, looking like a cactus. There are needles all over the cat, and on the end of it’s tail there is a pink and white cactus flower

A cat cactus. A Catcus, if you will

Dogs seen in public

happy dogs at pride season! over here there are events all summer

A four panel comic of a red fox sitting with its head leaning on its paws. It is listening to a bigger and older fox with paler fur Panel 1 Old fox: “when I was your age I nearly fell down a glacier while hiking” Panel 2: Old Fox: “as a young fox I crashed through some ice on a frozen river. Lucky I didn’t drown then” Panel 3: Old Fox: “i was exposed to radiation. Lost all my fur fron that.” Panel 4: Young fox thinking: “my grandpa survived so much… the universe must have REALLY wanted me to be born” Old Fox off screen: “did i tell you I nearly got shot during the war?”

Do you ever listen to your grandparents talk about their life and wonder how they didn’t end up ending their own blood line?

Four panel comic of a brown cat and a red fox. The fox looks exhausted Panel 1: Cat: “are you doing alright?” Fox: “yeah” Panel 2 Cat, reaching a paw out to the fox to touch its shoulder: “you just look very” Panel 3 The Fox breaks into shards with a “crack”, the cat screams and jumps away, fur standing on end Panel 4: The fox is now a pile of red dust, the cat looks startled, it’s tail up and ears back Fox: “i’m fine, really!”

Those days where the tiniest thing is gonna make you crack

Four panel comic, featuring a red fox lying in bed under a blanket, wearing a scarf. A shadowy crosshatched fox is standing next to the bed Panel 1: Fox: “i feel horrid, I can’t even get up” Panel 2: Shadow: “You are horrible and lazy. You have done nothing all week and haven’t even gone outside. You’re a lazy failure” Panel 3 Fox is looking at nothing, considering Panel 4: Fox turning to Shadow: “what is wrong with you?”

Can’t make yourself stop needing to Do Things. Even when you have every excuse to rest

Four panel comic Panel 1: A pale blue bird with a megaphone: “hey! We put you in charge!” Panel 2: The same bird standing in front of various animals behind it Bird: “you represent us! So do what all of us want or at least benefits us!” Panel 3: A tiny hamster in a tie sitting in a large office chair Panel 4: Hamster: “no”

Pick any issue, and chances are the government treats it like this

Four panel comic, featuring a red fox, a grey cat, and a flying fox Panel 1: Cat: “who are you talking to there?” Fox, holding a phone: “my distant relative in Australia” Panel 2: Fox, speaking from a phone: “say hi to cat!” The face of a fox, upside down: “hi” Panel 3: Cat: “don’t you think it’s a dumb stereotype to draw Australians that way?” Fox: “huh?” Panel 4: Zoomed out view on the upside down fox, revealing that it’s a flying fox so it’s upside down because of this, not because of a joke about Australians being upside down Flying fox: “like what?”
