And he found he missed doing comic strips. So, inspired by the insane dalmatian named Holly that he and his wife brought into their lives, he created a new character ... DEVIL DOG.
So here is the second of two (count 'em two) strips I did for my college paper. I have the first one kicking around somewhere. If I ever locate it, I'll be sure to post it.
Those of you who know me can probably guess what this comic strip is really about. On the surface, it's a response to the Heaven's Gate group suicide.
Note that there are at least two hidden penises in this strip.
(Yikes. I was really full of piss and rage!)
Devil Dog has evolved quite a bit, and is now far more inspired by our second dalmatian Piper:
Even though the inspiration has shifted over the years, Devil Dog bears a heart-shaped spot on his shoulder as a tribute to his original inspiration, Holly. (Holly had the same spot, but on her left shoulder.)
I hope you've enjoyed this little walk down memory lane! As I said in the entry about the early "Up to Bat" strip, I think it's neat to see how this character has evolved over the years.
