A Parallel of Puppies: Mornings

Olie liked sleeping in. Akela sleeps in his own kennel, but wakes up before any of us cares too. Although lately he wakes up, goes outside and THEN sleeps longer on my bed.

A WILD KIM BELDING GUEST STRIP APPEARED!!

Today's Surprise Guest Strip is brought to you by the ever impressive Kim Belding!
Thanks Kim for this hilariously accurate comic!

Jacques & Kay: More Questions Than Answers

Jacques is now sporting his (mostly) Spring/Summer coat, as the snow is finally melting. (knock on wood)

Derpy Face

I know the graphics cards and settings are different for computers, so I hope the final image is light enough for you all.
The Muppet clip is from the ending of The Muppet Movie. I love those lyrics.

A WILD GUEST COMIC BY CHRIS GOBBETT APPEARS

A very nice shirt indeed!
Thanks Chris Gobbett for the awesome Guest comic! As always!
At this point I'm sure you are all familiar with Chris and the Root Beer Party, and their natural ability to reach out when the going gets tough or Root Beer is involved.

As far as the schedule is going to be for Once Upon a Donna, Mondays should be regular updates, I think Wednesdays are going to be hit and miss (hopefully more hit then miss) and Fridays are going to be Right Out for the next little while. Thank you so much for understanding my Friends and Relations!

Jacques & Kay: Even the cat doesn't like him

Coco occasionally takes interest in things. He's friends with Turtle after all. His interruption probably saved Kay from tearing Wapamiw a new set of wings.

A Parallel of Puppies: Don't Bark at Me

I can't help but compare Akela to Olie's behavior. Not "which one was better" but more "how they react." Akela's still a puppy so he may get a bit more fierce as he gets older. Olie had a few bad run-ins with other dogs so she didn't like them as much as Akela, who thinks everyone is his friend.

Update on the Schedule: I think I should be able to maintain a Monday comic still. I MIGHT be able to do a Jacques & Kay Wednesday, but I think Friday's are gonna be right out.

Akela's Room

They've all been in that room before, but they reacted like they had never seen it before.
Once they realized the dog crate was Akela's room, they thought it was great that it came with a door so he could close it if he wanted privacy.
A reminder that it may be a bit touch and go with the comics for the next few months or so, as I figure out my new schedule. I'll probably post on my facebook and twitter on the status of what's happening. If I do have to take a full hiatus I will post it on this page as well. Otherwise, until next time!

Jacques & Kay: What I did on my winter migration

Striking up friendships with mammals might run in the flock, but Yotin doesn't much care for it.
Ken, the Opossum, is one of those individuals who does crazy things and no one is really sure how they are still alive.

Akela

This is Akela, our newest family member. He loves the little kids, but hasn't quite mastered the concept that he can't play with them the way he would other puppies. The kids in turn love him, but don't like being too close! It's a learning experience for all.

Hiatus?

Hello my Friends and Relations.

I'm writing this post as a "heads up" that Once Upon a Donna and Jacques & Kay may be going on a bit of a Hiatus.

Those of you who know me personally, know that I currently work two jobs and that my comics are done on the side and earn me no money from it (stupid ad revenue policies). Quite frankly when I started this series, I was using is as an excuse to remain constantly drawing and learn how to keep a personal schedule for Freelancing, having just finished an animation program as my province got rid of the Film Tax Credit, making jobs in animation few and far between.
I was quite surprised to see that people actually enjoyed the comic!

One of my current jobs is going to require more hours from me, and I'm not sure what that is going to mean for the comic. It may mean that the comics will stop for a few months, or they may be more sporadic, or it may mean that nothing will change at all. I don't know.
 
I just wanted to give you guys a heads up instead of cutting it cold turkey one day.
This up coming Monday and Wednesday will have the usual comics, but beyond that, I don't know.
If it is a full Hiatus, I do intend to come back and continue Once Upon a Donna and Jacques & Kay. It won't be a complete end.

Thank you for reading these silly comics about my family, and a Rabbit and Crow.

I'll keep you posted on what the plan is.

Donna

Fried Koala

Probably shouldn't have had those two things going at the the same time.

Jacques & Kay: The Crows Come Home

Coco has never been that close to a goose, and he was thinking about what they must taste like. But a Mob of Birds quickly shifts his priorities. But Gordie is on his own!
If you recall, the crows call Kay by her full name. Which is Pronounced like This.

Easter Morning Basket Hunt

Happy Easter my Friends and Relations!
I've never been a morning person, and problem solving after waking up is not my strong suit. Nowadays I require coffee first.
