I love coming up with nicknames for the kids and the dog. Here are some cartoons to prove that to you…

And next I have a behind-the-scenes tidbit for you! See the cartoon above? Well check out the one below… same drawings! The text changed, because I was saying something different to the dog.

I was actually drawing the cartoon below from scratch, but then I thought, “WAIT. I’ve drawn this scene before… I’ve drawn myself greeting the dog!” So I went back through my cartoons and voila — there it was. It was great to find it. Saved me a lot of time! Even though what I was saying to the dog was different, the basic scene was the same.
