Regarding my latest comic.
Added 2019-11-20 02:10:40 +0000 UTCRegarding my latest comic: Most of you seemed to enjoy it, but I think some of you felt I was being rude or poking fun at certain people for wanting to have a romantic relationship in the Pet Foolery comics. Let me be clear; I don't care if anyone is interested in stuff like that, and while I probably won't have it in my comics, I don't think the idea is stupid, or the people for liking the idea. The comic was purely a joke, and not meant to make fun of anybody. I'm sorry if it came across the wrong way.

Reading only the "Patreon" am I missing any of the strips?
2020-12-25 04:51:57 +0000 UTCI remember when this happened and I know it’s a little late now but it kindof seemed like baiting for people to get Patreon...
2019-12-17 05:17:24 +0000 UTCIt would be cool to see Stella recur, maybe a good heart to heart on the difference between being a military dog and a police dog, tug the heartstrings, break my heart!!!!
2019-12-06 13:58:49 +0000 UTCHaha I do think that “love story” post funny, tho I kinda feel like Brutus doesn’t have much life outside of Pixie. TBH I’d like to see Brutus have some more equal relationships where he doesn’t need to constantly worried about others and can relax a bit. Not necessarily has to be romance like a close friendship with Stella or Mr Wrinkles would be great.
2019-12-06 07:22:24 +0000 UTCLOL I thought it was great - you had me going there :-)
2019-12-04 06:19:16 +0000 UTCWe understand! I did get my hopes up for a minute there while I was reading it... Stella... Ah, but alas it cannot be. (You're still a meanie 😝)
2019-12-03 04:23:48 +0000 UTCI hate when creators have to make posts like this because they felt like making a joke.
2019-12-02 02:27:10 +0000 UTCi actually love that idea
Robbie Richmond
2019-11-29 11:36:50 +0000 UTCNo offended at all! Brutus has Pixie and that's all he'll need. Some people need to know it's not always about the romance. A story can be told without it and still be good! However... If you do keep Stella I would love her to have the attitude of adhere by the rules kind of girl and Romance isn't apart of it!
2019-11-26 15:15:15 +0000 UTCI’m not offended at all, you sucked me in and then yanked the rug out - brilliant move! I also agree with some of the other comments, it would have distracted from the P&B spirit/core of your much loved comic. But seriously, whatever you, the artist, decide for this comic, I will respect. Ps just like another Aussie here who said rightly so, if they don’t like it then they can go and get fucked 🤣🖕🏻
2019-11-26 04:05:21 +0000 UTCBut it’s perfectly good! Don’t worry about it man! Just make whatever you want!! 😊
2019-11-26 04:00:36 +0000 UTCI thought it was hilarious! Honestly I love fanfic but every time they get into shipping territory, I'm like, "Nope!". I'm here for laughs and cuteness, man. Not that there's anything wrong with having a romance in a strip, it can add for some hilarious interactions. But...totally not offended.
2019-11-25 15:18:42 +0000 UTCI liked your design of Stella, but found the joke funny - People can chill out if they don't like it. If you don't wanna make a romance story, it's your business. They can make their own stuff instead of heckling artists.
Coda
2019-11-25 11:38:28 +0000 UTCI liked the joke. Besides a 'love interest' would steal the focus away from the initial friendship between Brutus and Pixie
Rowanmun
2019-11-25 07:09:01 +0000 UTCRomance storylines are a dime a dozen. What upset me was that you introduced a new character and then BAM! Just kidding! No new character! At least add her to the comics and let her be an adopted sister character to Pixie or something. BUT, as the saying goes, not my circus not my monkeys. Love your comics regardless!
Laboraex
2019-11-25 05:39:09 +0000 UTCEveryone is offended by everything. Difference of opinion is great, but don’t berate an artist for showing their interests.
2019-11-25 05:16:14 +0000 UTCI was amused.
2019-11-25 05:13:44 +0000 UTCI'm mad. Only because it looked interesting and there could have been a ton of funny material there. I also don't like being tricked while enjoying something.
Tigrika
2019-11-25 04:35:03 +0000 UTCyour comics, you created this wonderful world. do as you please. this might be the Australian in me but if people have an issue tell them to get fucked.
2019-11-24 23:49:56 +0000 UTCNP. I was a little dissapointed, but then again I guess It could have ruined it if it became romantic. I love your comics and did not get offended at all. ;)
2019-11-24 23:03:37 +0000 UTCLike I’m one of people who got excited for Brutus to have a lady friend but when I realised it was a joke, I laughed harder 😂
la belle dame sans merci
2019-11-24 10:05:26 +0000 UTCNo stress man, like there’s no need to apologise. It was freaking hilarious 😂😂
la belle dame sans merci
2019-11-24 10:03:41 +0000 UTCYou really don’t need to apologize for it. It wasn’t that mean-spirited. You were much more making fun of the idea than you were making fun of the people themselves who were asking for Brutus to have a love interest.
2019-11-24 01:14:19 +0000 UTCSorry, I’ve just read some of the other comments. Really? Really?? You’re going to tell the artist what he should draw, who he should draw and what do you include? Would you ask Charles Schultz to include a girlfriend for Snoopy? This is what happens when people become so invested that they lose touch of real life. Take a step back. It’s a comic. It’s entertainment. It’s cute. If you do not like the content, don’t look. It really is that simple.
2019-11-23 20:12:03 +0000 UTCWhy apologize? I thought it was hilarious!
2019-11-23 20:05:53 +0000 UTCHonestly, I'm perfectly fine with there not being a romance in this strip. The whole romance trope is rather tiresome because it generally follows a very well-worn path and it's not something I feel is really needed. Also, it'd be very dangerous honestly. Pixie is too young and I'd worry that people would start thinking that PTSD and just difficult pasts would be 'fixed' if the person fell in love. (While it may help, I rather explore other social connections than romance.)
Pamela Hineman (Lexy Wolfe)
2019-11-23 14:01:26 +0000 UTCThat is completely wrong. As long as he is happy, then he is doing the right thing. No artist should ever be obliged to draw what the viewers want, unless it is a commission. And in this case, his patrons are literally just paying $1 a month. He doesn't have to draw anything he doesn't want to. It's his art. If people don't like it, then they can just draw their own. As long as he's happy with what he's drawing, it is the right way :)
2019-11-22 22:34:25 +0000 UTCI didn't care, for the split second I thought the comic was going to have a love story I was happy, then the next second I was laughing my ass off at being had. It's your art. You can do whatever you want with it!
Paleo
2019-11-22 19:35:30 +0000 UTCwhat sucks is that you felt like you needed to explain yourself for your art and humour. You do you! Some people just suck.
SinisterVibe
2019-11-22 19:30:05 +0000 UTCEveryone has opinions and you'll never make everyone happy. I loved the last strip and thought it was hilarious. Just do what makes you happy like you have been doing, you have plenty of fans that'll like it regardless of what others think. I give the comic a 10 outta 10 👌
2019-11-22 16:09:55 +0000 UTCTo the author, idk if you'll see this, but you're doing great, please don't feel bad! I love romance comics tbh, but if you're not into that, it's ok! And not to be rude to all the other fans, but can you not feel so entitled to what you want, because obviously not everyone wants romance in this comic, and maybe the author is not comfortable developing a romantic story line yet. Either way, is all a joke yo.
2019-11-22 14:28:48 +0000 UTCI'm just disappointed, Stella looks gorgeous. I wouldn't have ever thought of a romance in P and B until this comic was made. but as creator you can do what you want. I don't need a romance, but the tease I did not enjoy, it just made me wish for something I had no notion of beforehand.
2019-11-22 06:17:01 +0000 UTCI hate the way people act. There is nothing wrong with not having a romantic relationship added. People act as if the comic belongs to them, haha! You guys can't choose what he does with his own comic :T
2019-11-22 04:11:41 +0000 UTCYou have nothing to apologize for and people need to calm the F down. Brutus and Pixie are your creations, therefore you have FULL CREATIVE LICENSE! So you can do whatever the heck you want. Please ignore their daft grumblings and you continue doing what YOU want to do. If they don't like it, they can piss off.
2019-11-21 23:33:11 +0000 UTCPeople who get upset at stuff that's just supposed to be funny and neat have zero motivation and way too much time on their hands and need to seriously sod off
Dee Bee
2019-11-21 21:30:26 +0000 UTCI'd rather there not be any falling in love and what not. I feel like it would take away from the relationship between Pixie and Brutus.
Caitlyn ODonnell
2019-11-21 18:55:21 +0000 UTCSo, is Stella canon and we might see her again later, or does she not exist? Welp, if not in love, Brutus could be friend with her if he meet her again ^^
Akela74
2019-11-21 17:26:40 +0000 UTCOkay so, as an artist I have an opinion on this. Yes, you can make whatever you wish , sometimes it isn’t always the right way though. I learned that to show my appreciation to people, I should also draw what variety of them are wanting, even if I don’t like it much myself. You have millions of followers and hundreds of thousands of patreons, you could try considering what they might want instead of always what you want to make? Idk, just my opinion.
2019-11-21 14:54:00 +0000 UTCAnd if anyone doesn't get it I'm being funny, it's his work he does what he pleases with it, but I can Fanon ship her
Kim Martin
2019-11-21 11:33:47 +0000 UTCYou created Stella, she now exists. Though you say nope, there's no take backs
Kim Martin
2019-11-21 11:31:47 +0000 UTCI'm so glad that it was a joke. I'm so sick of romance ruining everything. And I hate that name too! GREAT COMIC!
2019-11-21 08:19:26 +0000 UTCAnybody who took offense to it needs to stop looking for things to be offended about. It was hilarious!
SesshouFan22
2019-11-21 06:44:51 +0000 UTCTo me it's not so much the tone, we are paying extra for additional comics because we like the content not for a "comic" that's secretly a middle finger to its fans.
Ashley Brown
2019-11-21 06:44:25 +0000 UTCMany of us look into Brutus as a part of our soul. That bull you pulled hurt.
2019-11-21 04:35:45 +0000 UTCWell...I loved your joke and I understand humor so...no problem with me^^ (I know people sends more mean than happy comments so I'll make an effort for you^^)
2019-11-21 04:25:55 +0000 UTCI'd be happy with Stella joining the neighborhood as a friend (+ fairy godmother the eagle mom)😺😻
2019-11-20 20:23:23 +0000 UTCI understood; this is about the platonic and wholesome relationship between a retired military dog and a tiny kitten. If I wanted to romanticize pets, I could find a different comic for that. Or fan art. lol Keep doing you!
JPetrakis
2019-11-20 20:05:17 +0000 UTCNo apologies necessary! We’re both shippers of varying degrees in different fandoms, and we both loved the comic! 😊 A very happy, welcomed change of pace!
2019-11-20 19:42:53 +0000 UTCU go, sire! I'm shipping u!
Luciano Schinke
2019-11-20 19:11:46 +0000 UTCYou don't have to apologize. People tend to get offended too easily these days. I love your comics and I think it's best if you stay true to the direction you see for the characters. Don't compromise for because "fans" want you to do something.
2019-11-20 19:05:42 +0000 UTCThat was funny as hell, had a feeling there was a setup there. It's your comic, draw it as you feel appropriate.
Scottie Kay Bay-Bay
2019-11-20 18:55:05 +0000 UTCPeople are just too easy to offend. I thought that comic was great!
2019-11-20 18:48:06 +0000 UTCAwww, don't worry. I had so many emotions during that comic, and I thought it was cruel, genius, and hilarious all at once. In the end, it's probably for the best and it's your comic anyway. It's polite of you to make your stance clear (no one wants to accidentally offend people) so I definitely respect the clarity. But there are definitely no hard feelings over here.
2019-11-20 17:59:11 +0000 UTCExactly. That’s what I also said. Stella should’ve been introduced as Brutus and Pixie’s new friend rather than having a romantic relationship with Brutus because that’s weird.
Ethan Schaeffer
2019-11-20 16:33:05 +0000 UTCYou weren't being offensive at all it's your comic
2019-11-20 16:25:50 +0000 UTCA. Don't Apologize for making a joke that wasn't offensive in the slightest. B. Your work is awesome, and while I would have liked to see some kinda romance, you have your vision as an artist and creator and if you don't see it then people have to respect that. I love your comics and I love Pixie and Brutus and Stella is beautiful and if you wanna bring her back in some sort of way that would be awesome!
2019-11-20 16:17:02 +0000 UTCLook, I get it that it was a joke and it was actually kind of funny. But you know what, you could’ve just use that new character that has a similar trait to Brutus and becomes best friends with him and Pixie instead of romantic relationship. I agree that there shouldn’t be romance in Pixie and Brutus comics. But I would enjoy seeing a new character that has the same personality of Brutus, and can look after Pixie as a Sister would do. Also, believe or not, but I think you read my mind a few months ago because I was imagining the exact same idea that Brutus and Pixie would meet a female K-9 that is a police dog, and has a similar resemblance of Brutus😂😂. Are you a mind reader or something? Anyway, don’t worry about it and you don’t have to apologize to some people that always complain of what you draw. Those whiney-snot-snowflakes needs to get over it and you need to ignore their ignorance. I will always enjoy reading your comics no matter what. Keep up the good work👍👍
Ethan Schaeffer
2019-11-20 16:11:44 +0000 UTCAll retired adopted out military dogs are fixed anyway. LMAO Sorry, couldn't help it. Please don't do a comic about that. And please don't add romance just because people demand it. I've gotten rather sick of the mandatory romance angle that people seem to think a story needs. Seems so annoying and forced and in the way half the time. Romance should only be there if it's actually fitting the flow. And quite frankly I would love to see more platonic friendships anyway.

2019-11-20 15:56:52 +0000 UTCI thought it was really funny.
Kody Ihnat
2019-11-20 15:42:47 +0000 UTCIt breaks my heart every time I see an artist who feels they must apologize for their work. You are sharing a piece of your heart and soul with us, and a few jerks want to stomp on that. I see the Lunarbaboon artist getting unfairly attacked from time to time too. As another commenter said, this is why we can't have nice things. Please don't take to heart the lame and unappreciative jerks who spout mean comments from behind keyboards. It is the internet, and you just can't please everyone - and you shouldn't have to apologize over their childish outrage. Thank you for sharing Pixie and Brutus, and the dinosaur comics, with us!
Dara Garretson
2019-11-20 15:17:08 +0000 UTCYou got me bamboozle sir. 😂😂 i thought it's funny. Don't mind those snowflakes. As i checked the comments here, majority of people found it funny. So keep it up and we will laugh at your jokes and will love them.♥️
2019-11-20 14:57:10 +0000 UTCIt was funny and cute
Teagrrs
2019-11-20 14:40:04 +0000 UTCIt was funny, but when Brutus eats him in his sleep, that will be too.
Kevin Menard
2019-11-20 14:13:37 +0000 UTCGood grief... I thought it was hysterical and actually laughed out loud when I scrolled down. The only objection I had was the spelling of the expression "Psych!" but I can understand why you used it. :-D
2019-11-20 13:45:58 +0000 UTCNo you're not the only one. I don't care for a romance either
2019-11-20 13:44:20 +0000 UTCI thought it was funny. You keep saying there will be no shipping. Some people just don't want to listen. Keep up the awesome comics!
2019-11-20 13:36:20 +0000 UTCI tthought it was really funny. I loved the 4th wall break.
Jessica
2019-11-20 13:13:44 +0000 UTCIt never felt like --you-- were being mean with the joke. It's society that craps all over those who like romantic movies and even more over those who enjoy to read romantic books. And so it was just another block in what some have to deal with every day. And, I personally would love something with that character anyway, not romantic, just in general.
2019-11-20 12:49:57 +0000 UTCI liked the comic and love new content. I laughed at the joke and it’s unfortunate not everyone thought it was funny. I’m glad your sticking to your own story and not letting the offended internet change you or P&B.
2019-11-20 12:36:48 +0000 UTCStill it was a cute dog
Hyperblob
2019-11-20 11:54:21 +0000 UTCA part of me would have loved to see something on the lines of thar Kommissar Rex episode where the se criminals used a female dog in heat to kidnap Rex. Like getting Brutus be sucked up by the 'bitch' and the rest of the gang going to the rescue led by Pixie. I would have missed Gedeon Burkhard on his prime almost fully naked tho 😜
2019-11-20 11:33:41 +0000 UTCI thought it was hilarious. You are doing great. You can’t please everyone, and it is your comic. Looking forward to your next release.
Robert Dusenbury
2019-11-20 11:27:45 +0000 UTCI respect and even approve of your decision. That being said, I could see how people might have found you last comic a bit... confrontational.
KMas
2019-11-20 11:27:14 +0000 UTCI liked it maybe just too many snowflakes in this world now
2019-11-20 10:41:33 +0000 UTCIt's such a shame that you feel you had to apologise for a harmless joke.... I adore P&B and a romantic thing would just feel wrong IMO. A couple of people seem to be taking this weirdly seriously but everyone else just seems to love new content :) I now just want a Brutus plus to sit next to my Pixie one!
2019-11-20 08:25:53 +0000 UTCIf they are offended, they are welcome to leave, this is your comic, your creation and you are free to do with it whatever you do... I for one appreciated the joke. Why would the strip need a romantic plotline? Least of all out of nowhere... Had you been earnest about it you'd have let us see Pixie observing Stella moving in in a previous strip
Nighteyes
2019-11-20 08:17:05 +0000 UTCI got the joke. I guess my response fell flat amongst those who were seriously offended.
Moose
2019-11-20 07:53:15 +0000 UTCShe is a stunner.
2019-11-20 07:39:06 +0000 UTCRIP Stella
2019-11-20 07:33:04 +0000 UTCYes, indeed.
2019-11-20 07:02:06 +0000 UTCI take it you didn’t like the comic 😅. Joking aside, like I said, it wasn’t intended to be legitimately patronizing, and from what I’m reading, most people didn’t take it that way. I think saying that I treat my fans enthusiasm as a joke, and calling me childish is a bit of a stretch, but hey, you’re entitled to your opinion.
Ben Hed
2019-11-20 06:49:46 +0000 UTCtbh, I had to look up what "shipping" meant in this case.. LOL.. guess I am a little out of touch with slang lately, but I when I got the comic I was like awww, then my second thought was what about Lola?? either way, I loved it and I would like to see more of Stella also, but as a female that relates to Brutus and a girl friend who gets him and his issues, not a girlfriend..
Barbara Miller
2019-11-20 05:41:55 +0000 UTCPeople can't take a joke, and water is wet. It was hilarious, and don't let some spoil sports get in the way of that.
Torvus
2019-11-20 05:39:53 +0000 UTCAs a sappy romantic, I LOVED the comic and thought it was hilarious. Thank you so much for sharing it!
Kaitlynne Mae
2019-11-20 05:33:10 +0000 UTCIt was funny, don't be afraid to make jokes. Also it's your comic, made special by you making it your way, if you stop making it your way it won't be the same. I don't know about other people and can't speak for them but I know I became a patreon supporter because I liked your comic your way.
Hugh Fay
2019-11-20 05:26:32 +0000 UTCI am personally so relieved that there won't be any romantic subplot in Pet Foolery. That comic made my day. Thank you.
Nick Siskonen
2019-11-20 05:14:26 +0000 UTCI thought it was hilarious. I'd also be fine with her being an actual character.

2019-11-20 04:48:20 +0000 UTCI liked it! I thought it was clever
Raptorzs
2019-11-20 04:32:44 +0000 UTCIf people got upset, they are too uptight. I found it hilarious, too many comic creators give in to shipping, and that subversion was very amusing.
Jenna Briggs
2019-11-20 04:27:29 +0000 UTCIt felt like good natured poking to me :) I think it's nice and refreshing to focus on meaningful friendships, and see something different than romance. Keep on rocking dude.
Daphne R
2019-11-20 04:21:25 +0000 UTCI didn’t think you were being mean i was like aww we gonna get a love story then NAH i found it in good faith
2019-11-20 04:20:22 +0000 UTCIt'd be the one thing Brutus can't handle. Someone that he doesn't have to look over. Someone that can watch his back.
Bulk
2019-11-20 04:09:08 +0000 UTCPleeeeeeease bring on Stella! Brutus deserves some loving ❤️
2019-11-20 04:09:01 +0000 UTCTbh now I see her I WANT Stella in but as a platonic friends who share war stories and have a series of code words so that pixie thinks they're telling fairytales and when one experiences PTSD they're there for each other and relate to adapting to a "normal dog" life.
2019-11-20 04:07:00 +0000 UTCHowever, if you want to add Stella or whoever else, I am totally for that. It's your comic, and you are genius at it.
Mak
2019-11-20 04:03:19 +0000 UTCHonestly the last comment made me go "NOOOOO!" as I started laughing. It was honestly hilarious. I completely enjoy this comic in that it's just hilarious. Your art is amazing, and I enjoy every update. Romance be damned.
Mak
2019-11-20 04:02:45 +0000 UTCIt's a dollar 1 dollar!£1.20 for me... If people are getting upset because of that reason they need to chill out and stop being so idiotic and whingy. There's some great content for very little money. Regardless of the bamboozle it's worth the money and not exactly breaking the bank lol
2019-11-20 03:57:37 +0000 UTCI agree, I'm glad it's not a love story however I was SUPER EXCITED to see another rehomed working dog as a new character, to see Brutus try and keep what he actually has done from Pixie etc etc So please please please consider adding a ex police dog unromantcally
Zombiekitteh13
2019-11-20 03:54:31 +0000 UTCEven if you disagree with your fans, if you want them to keep giving you money, don't treat their enthusiasm as a joke. It's less about whether you choose to add a romantic plot to your comic or not, and more about the fact that at a Pateon-only comic, the only people who are going to see it are the fans who enjoy and appreciate your work so much, that they took the time to sign up to give you a financial token of their appreciation each month. To then reward that appreciation with a comic that was dismissive and patronizing was childish. And your "I'm sorry if you were offended" apology even more so.
2019-11-20 03:52:06 +0000 UTCIt was cute, but you have enough stories to tell as it is!
Julie Prommasit
2019-11-20 03:49:16 +0000 UTCIt’s a great strip. I don’t know why people are so negative. Don’t pay any attention to them. 👍
James Noury
2019-11-20 03:48:33 +0000 UTCIt's your comic! Your characters and your story! People can go wild with fanart. It was adorable and you definitely broke the 4th wall and I loved it!
Rio Fluff Butt
2019-11-20 03:27:45 +0000 UTCI was disappointed about it but it was a nice joke! 😂
2019-11-20 03:21:27 +0000 UTCI laughed, and figured it wasn't going to be a real plot point That said I was a lil sad that he wasn't going have reason to smile more often in the comic. One of if not my closest friend is a wounded warrior from Iraq and I love seeing him happy.

2019-11-20 03:19:57 +0000 UTChttps://youtu.be/qi7Yh16dA0w lol this is what I thought of when you posted that content. I loved it! “I’m not gonna draw you a love comic” 💕😂
2019-11-20 03:16:06 +0000 UTCNot offended all the content worth more than $1. Some people just get offended easily and others have a sense of entitlement because they pay $1. 😕 sadly you wont ever please everyone. So you do you.
2019-11-20 03:11:40 +0000 UTCit was a funny joke. even though I dug the thought of romance I wasn't offended.

2019-11-20 03:11:38 +0000 UTCYou were fine!
2019-11-20 03:08:49 +0000 UTCI mean for the people who pledged because they thought there was going to be a love interest and then there wasn't I can see why this would be seen as a bad thing but the comic in itself isn't bad at all! It's just a bit of fun but because people expected one thing when they signed up they felt cheated and upset.

2019-11-20 03:05:39 +0000 UTCPeople got offended and upset? I thought it was actually quite funny. Tricked me and I burst into laughter with the "sike"
2019-11-20 03:04:48 +0000 UTCSad and baffling how some of these people can't take a joke. They're your characters, you do with them whatever you see fit. I'd say those getting their panties twisted complaining about a fictional dog's love life have been far more rude than you could ever be

2019-11-20 03:01:17 +0000 UTCIt's just a comic series. People need to lighten up. And yes we are paying a whole dollar a month to access these things. But you don't owe us anything. (Besides obviously the four comics we signed up for.) You're the artist, you get to decide what you want to create. And if someone wants to throw a fit about it, you're better off without them. 🤷
2019-11-20 02:59:07 +0000 UTCIt's all good. You know who we all still love? YOU!
2019-11-20 02:57:08 +0000 UTCI thought it was funny. Carry on.

2019-11-20 02:55:35 +0000 UTCI thought it was hilarious and I love Pixie and Brutus comic.You are doing great!
2019-11-20 02:55:02 +0000 UTCstella was cute, and it definitely didnt seem rude
2019-11-20 02:54:52 +0000 UTCI know it wasn’t meant to be rude
2019-11-20 02:52:17 +0000 UTCReally people?!! This is why we can't have nice things!
Veronica Vatter
2019-11-20 02:49:42 +0000 UTCyou got a few panels of exclusive art, that was made relevant to the comics you enjoy... and your complaining about 25 cents?
2019-11-20 02:44:48 +0000 UTCIt was funny! But it would be nice to have Stella in the comic 😊
2019-11-20 02:43:36 +0000 UTCI thought it was funny, and a relief
2019-11-20 02:42:22 +0000 UTCi'm annoyed that crap half-assed comic cost me 25 cents. i want my 4 brutus and pixie comics as promised. the last couple were lame and not worth it
2019-11-20 02:40:47 +0000 UTCI thought you were having some cheeky fun about the no shipping Brutus and Lola thing. I'm not sure how you could misinterpret this, except as some fun. You already did the incredible shrinking kitten gag so why not this one too? We love what you do
Scott Buchanan
2019-11-20 02:40:30 +0000 UTCDidn't bug me at all, though I'd like Stella to join the comic, not as a ship but just a character? I think she would have a past similar to Brutus in ways. He'd have somone to talk to
KansaiKensei
2019-11-20 02:36:59 +0000 UTCDon't blame yourself, especially since the the start of P&B, you've mention before, or at least hinted in the comments of your Instagram works that you weren't interested in a love story for this line of comics. It was more of a surprise that you hinted at Brutus being in love, than it being a joke.
2019-11-20 02:33:27 +0000 UTCPfft. Military dogs are fixed, so yeah, not going to happen anyway. 😅
Christine
2019-11-20 02:29:32 +0000 UTCIt was funny! don't be put off by the snowflakes! :D Awesome work as always!
Claire Fletcher
2019-11-20 02:29:31 +0000 UTCI loved the comic, I did not see any problem at all. Keep going, you're talented.
2019-11-20 02:29:31 +0000 UTCYou’re amazing 💖 you didn’t do anything wrong
2019-11-20 02:29:26 +0000 UTCDon't let it get you down. It was clearly intended as a joke and not everything you do is going to make everyone happy. Be you. The exact person you are is what makes this comic awesome. No one else would make it the way you do.
2019-11-20 02:29:03 +0000 UTCI saw it as a joke and took it as that.
Robert Uthoff
2019-11-20 02:28:44 +0000 UTCI didn't take it amiss! I adore both of them, and eagerly wait for each new adventure.
Maggie Warren
2019-11-20 02:28:23 +0000 UTCHow dare you do what you want with your comic, people really need get a grip. It was funny
2019-11-20 02:28:10 +0000 UTCYour comics, your choices! I would never support an artist who used their art just to please everyone. It was funny and totally within your right to do however you saw fit! Keep on keeping on!
2019-11-20 02:27:57 +0000 UTCI wasn't offended at all. I thought Stella was pretty cool. Boys and girls can be just friends... Plus she's a police dog, so probably pretty bad to the bone. (get it?!!?
2019-11-20 02:27:54 +0000 UTCIt was a great comic and I laughed! I loved seeing Brutus awe struck then the SUPRIZE!!!! Your amazing as always
2019-11-20 02:27:17 +0000 UTCEven if you don't add her as a love interest, will you be adding Stella as a character? It would be interesting the see the interactions between an ex-military dog & ex-police dog.
Slye_Fox
2019-11-20 02:26:49 +0000 UTCLove the comics, never thought it was rude, keep being you and making greatness!
2019-11-20 02:26:06 +0000 UTCNo need to be sorry for people misinterpreting stuff, ships sail anyway
Tyro Thunderdrone
2019-11-20 02:26:03 +0000 UTCIt's all good! I thought it was hilarious--keep on keeping on. 🙂
Nola Barrett
2019-11-20 02:25:54 +0000 UTCThe society on general is obsessed with the idea of romantic love which I think is overrated. Specially in comic/manga/webtoon fandoms. They would rather a character/person/animal be in an abusive relationship than be single and happy.
2019-11-20 02:25:44 +0000 UTCPlease, please, PLEASE make Stella a recurring character, I don't care if shipping is involved, I just want her to be a character who gets speaking lines and a personality.
2019-11-20 02:24:45 +0000 UTCI wasn't offended or found it rude I thought it was funny. But I do hope Stella does because a sort of rival character I think that would be cool😁
2019-11-20 02:23:52 +0000 UTCExactly. EXACTLY. This very well articulates what I was going for, I just couldn’t think of the right words to describe it 😅
Ben Hed
2019-11-20 02:23:12 +0000 UTCThank you for your conscientiousness. But as others have said I don't feel like you need to apologize for your art. I know you have a lot of pressure because you have such a huge viewership but try not to let it get to you you're a fantastic writer and artist
Clarke
2019-11-20 02:22:49 +0000 UTCYou shouldn't ever apologize for your creative decisions in your comics! It's your art to make decisions for! Also, I think it was great! Can the Shippers!
2019-11-20 02:22:16 +0000 UTCI thought the comic was great. At first I thought you were giving Brutus another friend and then you burst through the 4th(?) wall. Keep em coming man.
Gavin Boatright
2019-11-20 02:22:07 +0000 UTCI was very offended that you tease us with a cute new character and then we are swallowed by LIESSSSSS😂😂 it was hilarious
2019-11-20 02:21:36 +0000 UTCI thought it was funny and more of a light-hearted jab at shipping in general, not a malicious attack toward any of us. Keep that sense of humor!
Dean
2019-11-20 02:20:53 +0000 UTCI thought it was hilarious. Made the end if my work shift bearable. :)
2019-11-20 02:20:43 +0000 UTCI didnt find it rude either! I thought of it as a joke as well :) Im still shipping Brutus and Stella now though 😜💜🦄
KionaRedHawk
2019-11-20 02:20:32 +0000 UTCI don't think you should apologize for your art man. It was funny and refreshing to see someone actually be honest and say "that'll never happen here" your comics are cute and hilarious. Keep it up and if people get offended. Fuck em.
Mike Hawkes
2019-11-20 02:20:18 +0000 UTCAs someone who regularly ships characters I thought it was a funny poke at us. Definitely not offended 🤣 I DO hope we see more of her though!
Ivory Larethian
2019-11-20 02:19:19 +0000 UTCI think I’m the only one that doesn’t really care for a love interest for Brutus lol
2019-11-20 02:19:19 +0000 UTCyou shouldnt have to apologize for a joke comic 😭 however this is the internet. i thought it was funny, although i really love stella's design and wouldn't mind seeing more of her! maybe in a non romantic way, though!
2019-11-20 02:19:12 +0000 UTCIt definitely was 'foolery'
2019-11-20 02:18:52 +0000 UTCI'm not offended. I just think it's stupid that people have to ship and pair anything with a pulse.
TwilightSky15
2019-11-20 02:18:43 +0000 UTCOh, my friend, we are cool! I saw nothing for offense. Thanks for being responsive to your fans. You are a good person.
Chris Fow Cohen
2019-11-20 02:18:01 +0000 UTCI just really like the way you drew her and want to see more of her in the comic :)
Alexey Didenko
2019-11-20 02:17:42 +0000 UTCof COURSE someone was offended what else is new I thought it was hilarious! You keep doing what you’re doing screw the dummies who was actually butthurt over a comic
2019-11-20 02:17:30 +0000 UTCI thought it was hilarious. I was like "yay, oh, lol" You got me on that one. Well played sir, well played.
2019-11-20 02:17:18 +0000 UTCNot offended but I share the desire to see more comics with that k9 dog =]
MaTaTaN87
2019-11-20 02:17:07 +0000 UTCI think most people got the message, plus it's your story so you are the God that decides if any romantic relationship is Canon or not. I'm sure you welcome fan fic and shipping and stuff haha.
Christi-Jan Carlo Hendriks
2019-11-20 02:16:53 +0000 UTCWhile I'm a huge fan of shipping, its honestly refreshing your comic is a pure buddy comedy with splashes of heart in it. I love Pet Foolery and people need to stop being so damn sensitive.
Kayisacat
2019-11-20 02:16:41 +0000 UTCI wasn't offended by it, but I can definitely see how people would interpret it negatively. Glad you decided to make this post to clear the air :)
Jae Lynn
2019-11-20 02:16:40 +0000 UTCI thought it was funny, though it would have made a better April Fool's post. Keep up the amazing work and thank you for sharing your talent with us!
2019-11-20 02:16:32 +0000 UTCNo worries, I got the joke. It's nice you have made such a connection with people so they already deeply care about your characters happiness :). I can definitely see some cool stories if you do an ex cop k9 to the mix as a drop in visitor :)
Uriel grey
2019-11-20 02:16:10 +0000 UTCNothing to apologize for
Brian
2019-11-20 02:15:58 +0000 UTCThe "sike" was pretty funny and clear for me. Didn't think you meant it to be an offense to others. It was a joke. But like every joke some people don't take it the way we meant to.
2019-11-20 02:15:52 +0000 UTCI was like he's not going there, got my hopes up for a second...then I remembered why I love the comic. Glad you didn't really go there.
Jeni Hall Peel
2019-11-20 02:15:35 +0000 UTCIt was pretty funny just made me sad for brutus which is great. I didn't realize I felt so much for the characters. That's awesome
DrkShdow
2019-11-20 02:15:14 +0000 UTCDont care for romance personality but mate, that dog was adorable! I just wanna see more of her ;0;
2019-11-20 02:15:11 +0000 UTCI was laughing but i still think you're a troll Lol
2019-11-20 02:15:05 +0000 UTCNot offended at all and in fact it made me laugh. I just felt sorry for poor old Brutus 😅
2019-11-20 02:14:54 +0000 UTCIt was funny but damnit now I want to see more Stella lol
Rachael Jokerst
2019-11-20 02:14:53 +0000 UTCI can’t imagine someone being offended over that comic. I thought it was hilarious. Screw this oversensitive world we live in.
Andrew Soldan
2019-11-20 02:14:47 +0000 UTCI wasn't offended. I thought it was funny despite the fact that I 100% want to see awkward in love Brutus because it would he like the only time where he isnt totally in control of everything.
Ashley
2019-11-20 02:14:34 +0000 UTCIm not offended in anyway. I just think you should not post it on instagram the way that it would mislead people to subscribe to patreon only to find they're being trolled lol
阿瑠
2019-11-20 02:14:10 +0000 UTCI think Stella and Brutus would be super cute!!
Nina Swanson
2019-11-20 02:13:55 +0000 UTCNot offended, but wanted to thank you for being decent as hell. Keep up the great work! <3
Rachel Gray
2019-11-20 02:13:50 +0000 UTCYou've broken my spirit in ways that the Army never could 😭😭😭. Kidding kidding, thought it was funny. Keep up the good work.
2019-11-20 02:13:49 +0000 UTCI think it’s a genius idea for the fan comics. You give them an idea so they can draw it and we enjoy. And then you don’t have to draw things you aren’t comfortable with. It’s a win win
Aelan Ryland
2019-11-20 02:13:36 +0000 UTCI don’t see why anyone would be offended by it. It was really well done!! I didn’t see it coming at all!!!

2019-11-20 02:13:30 +0000 UTCI am with @Jessica! And just loved the female german sheppard
2019-11-20 02:13:20 +0000 UTCShame that you had to apologize for something so small.
2019-11-20 02:13:11 +0000 UTCNot offended but love the idea of a k9 dog
Jessica Shontz
2019-11-20 02:13:08 +0000 UTCJust bummed! Love your comics!
2019-11-20 02:12:56 +0000 UTCI didn't think it was rude at all!! I found it quite funny.
2019-11-20 02:12:47 +0000 UTCI was not offended at all!!! Just excited for Brutus and then bummed out!
