Roger on the Run, part 1:

A special treat for you ladies and gents, a sneak preview of the upcoming action-packed storyline! Featuring lasers and robots and explosions and maybe we'll even disintegrate a few things! A return to the classic TWB after all this lovely-dovey kiss...

Relationship troubles...

Alt. Title: Stubble Trouble, or the Bear Necessities. :)

Making up

An extra gag for you ladies and gents. :)

08-15-17 Embiggened

I actually spent quite a bit of time on that center panel, probably twice what a whole regular strip usually takes. :)  Aaaand then reducing it for upload made it kind of an indecipherable mess. I tried increasing the brightness and contrast in ...

Hindsight is not always 20-20

Okay, it's a terrible pun, but I thought it made for a good gag. :)

A building, historical

In my mental model of TWB's Alaskan small town that has elements of several actual towns but isn't any one actual place, I picture the street that Cara's shop is on, as one that was originally part of a "main street", and thus had several prominent s...

A glitch in the Matrix

Sometimes the dalmatians have problems with their spot-display software, and have to reboot. :)

Lil' Duke

A possible mascot for what was Project X, recently revealed to be a new lever-action paintball gun. Lil' Duke is a Black-Tailed Jackrabbit, and will likely ...

Roadside stand

A quick sketch for the author of Carry On, who does, in fact, raise sheep, is considering getting out of the sheep business, and wonders what to do with the remainder of her small flock of pets.

The trebuchet idea was vetoed almost immediately. :)<...

In Repose

The July 28th strip didn't come out quite as well as I was hoping, but I liked the pose in the first panel, so I tried redrawing it, larger and with more detail. And a little less oil. :)

I like how it came out, but the airbrush shading doesn't pla...

July 24, Revised:

After a couple of emails asking just what exactly is going on, I lightly revised the dialogue for July 24, which should hopefully clear things up a bit.

Doc.

NSFW Version of July 14th:

Not at all... safe...  for work. :)

(Credit to Curtailedcomic.com for the idea!)

Kasi Javelin

From a brief Guild discussion on the merits of flinging employees. :)

Kasi, of course, isn't one of Doc's employees, but it was pretty much a given that she'd enjoy being flung more than just about anyone. :)

Doc.

July 6th, revisited:

Regular reader Tuyu thought Cara wasn't being quite forceful enough with Miki. :) The only thing missing is the classic sound effects of all the pots and pans and tin cans crashing and scattering when she lands. :)

Doc.

Thursday Brain Fart

Had a bit of a brain fart, and didn't properly set the scheduler. So I had to replace Wednesdays strip with Thursdays. It'll straighten itself out the next time the system updates, but in the meantime, sorry for the inconvenience. :)

Doc.

The Unasked Questions

"Slightly" reworked future strip. :)

Doc.

Thursday's Strip

I have no idea why the system didn't update. The scheduler was set, the strip was in place, etc.

Here's Thursday's strip, and I've temporarily replaced Wednesday's with today's on the main page. Everything should be back to normal as soon as Curt c...

Fifteen Years, and Counting!

Believe it or not, June 18th marks a full fifteen years of TWB! Some 2,500+ strips (including "officially" numbered and special and holiday strips) a total of five books (plus one on the way (or so I keep being told) three Oscars (probably lost in th...

June 9th, Illuminated

For those zooming and squinting, the answer. :)

Doc.

Oh, Baby!

Jinx discovers Doc's copy of the rare centerfold issue of PBCrap Magazine. (Featuring the new AutoElectroBlastemFlatter Mk VII, whose hobbies include "shooting really fast", "scaring newbies" and "mowing muppets".)

Doc.

Pirta & Jake

Another bit of booksketchery from a while back. These date back to just as Jake and Pirta were "hooking up", and I always thought the idea she'd have a custom plush of him would be kind of cool.

Sorry posting has been kind of slow, high summer is m...

The Cell Phone Pic, Animated

I took screenshots of the various steps as I cleaned up the cell-phone pic, and turned it into an animated GIF. Enjoy!

Doc.

The Famous Cell Phone Pic, Revisited

I had to replace my graphics tablet last week, when I managed to fix my slightly-troublesome one just enough to break it completely. :)

It took a couple of days and several inquiries to their help desk to get the new ones' drivers sorted out, but I...

Not one of their better ideas...

Here's another book sketch from many years ago, a gag that I have meant, time and again, to turn into a proper canon strip, but I never had occasion to get the crew out swimming. :)

(For those that aren't familiar with the sport of paintball, the p...

Just havin' a bit of fun...

Here's something from the depths of my scrap-bin folders, that I had long forgotten about. :)

Years ago, on one of the tool-junkie boards, a fellow made a post complaining about his circular saw- seems he had, for the second time, managed to lop hi...

A Reader Suggestion, in Color

By undoubtedly popular request, and in higher than normal resolution. :)

Doc.

Suggested By a Reader...

Actually, suggested by about two dozen readers. :)

Doc.

Here Comes Trouble

Sorry I haven't had time to draw anything new for you ladies and gents, it's been a busy week in the shop, and likely may continue to be that way for a bit.

But here's a pic of Kasi I did as a T-shirt promotional back in 2010 for our big holiday sa...

The Famous Cell Phone Pic

Found another old book sketch for you! Back in the storyline wherein Pirta is hijacked out to the field and convinced to play some paintball, at one point she stops behind some bushes and removes the padded chest protector she'd been given, because i...

An Addendum

Just for the Patrons, especially the new ones, I'd like to point out that, despite what the weekend come-on strip implied, I'm not generally known for "adult" art. Point in fact, the "without comment" strip is pretty much the most risque` thing I've ...
