Inside Jokes and Tropes!

I made this cartoon picking fun of my daughter (Caroline) and her dude friend. He’s a great guy and a gear head. His first car was loud, and had all the “look at me!” things meant to attract the attention of girls but captivated traffic cops instead.

To be fair, I’m the folklore junkie. Caroline reads instructional stuff, and actually learns useful things from TikTok. Who knew you could use the Internet for that, right? Oh, and I’m certain she watches a lot of funny animal reels. I am certain of this, because I send her many!

The trope I use here and often is to unplug. They are hanging out, but on their phones. Sure, my family does the same, but we at least put a movie on that no one is watching!

The OG

No “Original Gangster” for this comic! It is the original.

Critter Sighting!

The Inspirations to the Comic, and Temporary Tattoos!

Some of the first Critter Temporary Tats went to Caroline and dude friend Brandon.
