Buzzfeed Post

I just did a post with some of my all time favs on Buzzfeed. If you could help out with some upvotes that would be awesome!! (Yellow buttons at the bottom.)I think the deal with Buzzfeed is if we can generate enough buzz it might get featured. 🐝🐝🐝 🤞

COMIC: Boogeyman

Don't let him GET YOU! 😱

Making of "Go to Your Room"

The number of times I've sent our eldest to his room and wished it could be me heading up there! The initial script for this one was:F: Go to your room! NOW!V: NO! You go to your room!!F in bedroom, chilling: Why did I not think of this sooner?!It was OK, but a little obvious. Then I thought she...

COMIC: Shadow

Kicking off Comictober 2021 with Day 1: Shadow! (Yes, it's a direct quote)

COMIC: Super Important

Actual thing that happened. Our kid is weird.Probably not going to do a bonus panel to this one because I need to push onwards into the October comics. Things about to get spooOOOooky! 👻

Making of "Big Blue Eyes"

This one pretty much went exactly like comic above -except J lowered 6yo to the ground in disgust, rather than yeeting him. We figured having him chuck him would make it pretty funny, but I worried people might take it all too seriously. The key was making the 3rd panel as silly as possible and real...

COMIC: Moments (remastered)

This is a remake of one of my oldest comics and one that's very close to my heart. Those first few months of becoming a mom were some of the worst of my life. My firstborn would cry almost constantly. The sleep deprivation, social isolation and constant feeling of failure drove me the brink. One...

Halloween Costume 2021

Sneak peek at Fran's (and my!) Halloween costume! Lady Dimitrescu from Resident Evil. This will be my October avatar and on the Comictober prompt list we're currently putting together.

COMIC: Go To Your Room

BONUS Panel:

Making of "All Day"

This happens to me ALL THE TIME. I yearn for freetime and then I waste it all trying to figure out what to do. J will often come home to find me MORE stressed than when he left, because I've driven myself mad looking for the "perfect" thing to do. (Spoiler alert: there isn't one.)I p...

COMIC: Big Blue Eyes

Based on a true story.BONUS Panel:

Making of "The Explorer"

4yo was watching some dumb YouTube surprise egg video and was FURIOUS when the man dared to open the blue egg against his wishes. Dora the Explorer is the classic example of these types of videos and I knew people would get a kick out of a Litterverse Dora. I wasn't exactly sure what animal she ...

COMIC: All Day

It's Fran's day off!(edit) BONUS Panel:

Making of "Ms. Hoots"

I realized I hadn't done an animaly comic in a while so I reviewed my ideas list and "gecko kid always loosing tail" caught my eye.The story of this one was easy enough, but I needed to make it 100% clear that they were all looking at his (lack of!) tail. This involved quite a bit of rea...

COMIC: The Explorer

Hola!BONUS Panel:

COMIC: Ms. Hoots

Oh Jeffrey! BONUS panel:

COMIC: Claw Machine (remastered)

(Reposting this because the GIF shows up better than the video here)Which toy would you go after? 😊BONUS Panel!Been looking forward to remastering this one, but not so much dealing with the animation! Oh my word, it's always such a pain!! Not the animation itself, but getting it to display pr...

Smudged Comic Prints

I'm absolutely mortified to discover that ink has been rubbing off some of my signed prints!If this has happened to one that you've bought, please send a photo and order number to contact@litterboxcomics.com and I will send you a replacement. Really sorry guys! What a mess.

Making of "Kids These Days"

I honestly don't know why I found the notion of kids calling makeup and hats "filters" so funny. I ran the idea by J first and then Daneman on the podcast and neither of them really got it. I was going to drop the whole idea altogether, but then @sveninframes messaged me and said he'...

COMIC: New Show

Do other people do this? I can't tell if we're just weird. 😅Edit: BONUS Panel!

What's Up Beanie

@WhatsUpBeanie has her first book out AND she did a comic a couple of days ago where she turned into a dog. How could I NOT draw Pupper-Beanie?! I'm going to surprise her with it tomorrow, so shussssh for now! 😁

Holding back new comics a week

Stressing myself out trying to get the buffer back up. I hate being in a situation where I'm completing a comic the day before I post it -always feels like I'm running out of time! Rather than posting the new comic I have, I'm going to repost some classics today and give myself some brea...

COMIC: Kids These Days

The Pet Foolery crossover comic wiped me out and then I had another (hopefully very exciting!) thing to take care of, so I'm playing catch up a little! Gotta get that buffer back up!

Lucky Skeletons

6yo "It's lucky for skeletons with their ribs, because if they eat something, it will just fall out of their ribs and then they can just eat it again. Like imagine the yummiest thing in the world!"

Making of "Worlds Collide"

Get comfortable, because this is a long one! Pet_Foolery has done collabs with Stuffed and Vixiearts before, where they took turns doing panels. I really wanted to make this part of the joke; like our 2 comics are in parallel dimensions and we're shifting between them. Above was my first attempt...

COMIC: Worlds Collide

Pixie and Brutus crossover comic!!!BONUS Panel:

Making of "Yellow"

The color changing bath tablets are basically the only way my children smell remotely OK. Me "Time for a bath!"Kids "NO!"Me "What color are you going to pick?"*kids come running*They delight in grossing me out, which includes picking yellow and drinking the bathwater. I try n...

Crossover Sneak Peek!

The full comic should be going out tomorrow, but I wanted to give you guys an early look at a panel! @Pet_Foolery and I went back and forth on the script and then took turns drawing panels. It's turned out pretty great! I can't wait to show you! I'll be posting a bunch of behind the scen...

Pixie & Brutus

OK, so just between you and me, I'm trying to work out a crossover comic with @Pet_Foolery. Here are Pixie & Brutus as they'd appear in the Litterverse, but blending the 2 narrative styles is proving DIFFICULT!! The silver lining is once we DO figure it out, I'll have a bunch of outtakes...
