In the beginning, Ted was a lot less sure of how to take care of Dee, and here he made the poor choice of listening to Vachel.

A lot of the early strips were about Dee getting into unfortunate or odd circumstances, and the animals reacting to it.
In fact, in response to an early syndicate submission, an editor mentioned that a good number of the strips involved her being airborne, usually falling. Duly noted! Lol. 
Childhood is all about the fizz of Hydrogen Peroxide from the brown bottle. It means it’s DOING something.
i think this was the first strip where her dark side is really shown. She is cute and innocent, but that doesn’t mean she’s not a force to be reckoned with.
I just anted to draw Vachel in a cowboy hat.

This is one of the first strips I’m putting up for sale which somehow wasn’t put up in the first run (perhaps I was too attached to it)
I love her hand prints on his jacket.
Sometimes with a kid you have to be very specific.
At first, i was going to draw Blake in human clothes as a disguise as well. And then I realized that would be not make any sense. As much sense as a bear and vulture in clothes. It’s all perspective.
Ted’s outfit still makes me smile.
What’s a vulture to do when you have no teeth and your diet consists of roadkill?
Eat lots of mints, i suppose.
That’s a joke from my childhood. We’d put our dishes in the dishwasher, and our dog, Wiggles, would get his face in and lick ‘em as best he could, and we would call it the “pre-wash cycle.”
This was one of the first strips where I showed the deep blur in their lives between being animals with animal behaviors, and being cartoon characters who live very human lives as well.
