Lovestruck Brutus

Hahah yeah I agree! Nice trick, Ben! 😏😆

petition to bring back stella

Ya got me good

I wonder what Stella would look like in the modern foolery art style?

I would love to see Brutus get a girlfriend one day

I LOVED that. PSYCH!

Curse you good writing

aro-ace people unite !!

THANK YOU!

Awww Also Awwwwwwww

Bro just went a-train on us💀

While cute and hilarious, imagine the difficulty of connecting with their past careers.

Dang it man, that would have been adorable, you better bring her in some comics at least

OH THANK GOODNESS

I think it’s a bit too late, you already gave people a reason to start shipping these two together

I'm just guessing, but as a military working dog, Brutus probably would've been neutered, right? Pretty sure it'd help a lot with discipline.

How about a Stella feature every now and then 😭

THANK YOU!!! XD Not all comics need to have romance in them to be entertaining! Yours is perfect as is with everyone just being good friends! 💙💙💙

I know I'm super late to this party, and I love that your drawing what you enjoy. I would love to see Brutus meet another working dog and talk shop though 😅 (maybe a ptsd service dog or something? Idk) this comic spoofed the idea in my brain lol 😆

Why'd you have to get my hopes up?

Hey, we want to see romantic

Join the singles club brutus, lol

Oh noo😭

BRING BACK STELLA!! >:(

That’s mean

NOOOOOO 😭😭

Ha, ha, ha!

XD

I’m so disappointed. I would love this to be a thing!

SON OF A BITCH!

Stella is still canon to me <3 Bring her baaaack

that was brutal. *cries and continues scrolling from oldest to newest*

we want a lovestorry for Brutus we want he is happy :´(

so meeaaaan

Noooo Please make Brutus happy he deserves someone to love him!!! Everyone does! :(

Whyyyyy youuuuu... You MEANY

I like wholesome ships, but pixie and Brutus already has the most wholesomeness you could have and I stand by not having Brutus in a relationship

☹️ WHY NOT.

Nooooo!!! I was so excited for Brutus!

Why u doing this??😫

Oh mean!!! Got baited into thinking there might be some cute Stella and Brutus puppies!

that was mean! really wanted that for Brutus

...but what about Stella? You now have a character just sitting on the back burner, just waiting to be used... just staring at you

Awwwww, that's a shame. Stella looks nice. And you could have all sorts of pleasant misunderstandings between a police dog and a military dog.

😂

I really thought he had a crush on her I already imagine what was going to happen

I thought you were going to make it come true 😂 but thanks for the surprise

Not cool you’ve destroyed my heart with this.

Noooooo Brutus deserves to have a chance at romanceeee

Awwwww come on!!! haha well played sir, well played

Bruh, my hopes and aspirations.

Should have saved that for Valentine's Day! LOL

"Not gonna lie, they had us in the first half."

I was exited with that beautiful female GSD. But on the other hand you're free to do what you want with your comic xD

I would have loved that, but fair to say it would change the dynamic between Pixie and Brutus

Awww. Don't tease us like that. Let Brutus have him a sweetheart. ^_^

You depicted her so beautifully. An unrequited crush wouldn't kill you.

I immediately wondered how she would handle Pixie and how Brutus would be able to manage both of them.

Pleeeease that would be sooo cute!!! And Brutus deserves it!!

I even signed up for patreon to see it. 🤨

Dude... that was my suggestion... and you rip my heart out like this?

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! I WAS LIKE :O BRUTUS!!!!!! D: stella and brutus would have been perfect!!!!!

Aw..it WOULD have been cute.

COME OOOONNN 😫

Ok. So how about a police girl who can’t stand Brutus? Thinks he’s full of himself.

*Hopes Deleted*

Psych!

RUDE

The transitional panel actually started me XD

dude. come ONNNNNNNN lol

why did u bait us so hard

Life has many doors, Edboy

Oh... my feels were ripped just like that screen....

You're a meanie.

🎶🎵🎼CAN THEY STILL BE FRIENDS heartbreaks never easy to take but can they still be friends it's a strange sad affair sometimes seems like they dont care 🎼🎵🎶

Tease..

Hahahahahahahahahahaha xD Good one!

Damn you! Why???? You mean 😒

Thumbs down lol

I’m not gonna lie I feel like I see him with a husky lol think of the beautiful color combo babies they could have.

HAHAHAHAHAHHA

Good for you, man!

Ha Ha Ha

TOO LATE! I already ship BruStella!!!

Why noooootttt... continue on having Stella!!! She looks so adorable but it would be fun to highlight her aggressive virtues in the comic's dynamic. idk, now that I see Stella I can't unsee her hahaha

I don’t mind not having romance, but I was intrigued by the possibility of having another retired working dog as a neighbor.

...I don't like you.

Dammit. You got me good. I was about to be so happy for him.

obligatory Marlon Brando impression goes here.

I kinda wish she turned out to be his Nemesis or something XD that would have been hilarious!

LMAO GOT EM

This is freakin awesome XD

🤣🤣

I would enjoy seeing Stella again! Not in a romantic relationship or anything, I love her design and would enjoy seeing her as an actual character

That was Terrible. I was hoping for brutus to find love.

It's "psych".

Just imagine if it were true tho 😍 but also imagine the furries finding out 😳

I'd be happy with Stella joining the neighborhood as a friend (+ fairy godmother the eagle mom)😺😻

OH MAAAAN!!!

I knew it was too good to be true lol

Ha!

Well, I am shipping anyway.

She cute tho, can she be in the comics as a friend? No romantic but platonic mom and dad friend with baby child pixie 😂

That was cruel lol

I liked her...

THANK YOU! We don't need any of that here. The only love Brutus needs is his little sister Pixie.

I love this. xD

NOOOOOOOOOOOO DFCHBKVFY

Can we get Stella as a reoccurring character though?? Even if it's not romantic lol

Got me.

why not??? xd

NOOOOOO😭

😹😹😹 legit got mii for a moment

Haha, we will see in future 😉😜 😁

This comic is a bruh moment

Hahaha this was great 😂😂

It's psych. as in psychological.

#BringBackStella

Would be very cool though😓

I'm mad

🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

😂😂 love this

🤣🤣🤣

SIKE AS FUG BOI!!! 😂😂😂

She so purd though

I was so lazy I avoided becoming a patron until today when I saw the teaser for the romance comic. THIS GOT ME TO SIGN UP. AND IT WAS A JOKE 😭😭😭

Ha funny!

WHY YOU GOTTA DO ME LIKE THIS? 😂😭 I kinda wanted doggo mom

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 im kinda glad it was a joke. I feel it would take away from the great legend of pixie

For all those crying "for" Brutus, he just doesn't need a woman to make him happy. He's got his tiny pal Pixie for company and that's all he'll ever need. 😻

YOUR SOOOO MEAN!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 O I LOVE THESE!!!!

All the "STELLLLLAAAAAAA" jokes

Stella would be a good character

More Stella please. Even if it isnt romantic. Would be a lovely addition to the comics.

Kurosaki Ichigo, is that you? Lol I immediately thought of him at the beginning of Bleach in which he stated quite solemnly that there would be no lovey-dovey stuff in that story. 😂

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 😂😂😂 wait is that what shipping is?!?! I have been trying to figure it out forever!

I was so happy and then so sad 😭😭🤣🤣🤣

This reminded me of Todd seeing Vicky in Fox and the Hound 😂 I still ship it, though

Now I’m sad 😢

Brutus deserves better! #JusticeForBrutus

I saw your story on instagram and I was like “Wait. He wont. WAIT” so i hurried to check here and..... I was right hahahahah

Let the ship begin!!!!!!!

Hahahaha this would have been great for Valentines or April fools XD

Oooohhh. No. Let the shipping shenanigans begin!!! Lol. 💙💙💙💙

would have been fun police and military dog together

BLESS YA SOUL

Ummmmm.... sir. How dare you. I got really excited for Brutus......😥

The base for Stella remind me of the golden retriever that I haven’t seen in a while

Damn you did us dirty 😂

😂😂 You’ve done it now. You planted the seed and shipping will now commence

I want to cry now that would have been awesome as Brutus would have no experience with love since he been a military dog and trying to even talk to her I would have loved that

ooof i was like, kind of excited for that one

Should have saved for April 1st.

Bwahahahaha XD Woulda made a good April Fools one

That was just cruel

Meaaaaannnn.. 😭

Give us Stella! It doesn’t have to be romantic 💔

What? But... why not? It be so cute and would allow the plot to develop in a new way

Honestly now I've had a few hours to think about it, it's pretty funny and to have that kind of thing just FALL INTO PLACE boom! Love. That isn't your style. I should've known better. You got me though lol

OH THANK GOD

Ugh. You're a bitter man, letting go of a good plot like that.

Love it! Everything doesn't need a ship. Great that you stick to your guns

I can just imagine Stella being a TOTAL badass and making Brutus look like an average dog. 😂 (which he would be super embarrassed about.) Meanwhile Pixie is just jazzed to have another friend.

super disappointed. sadface. i thought it would be cute. ah well

Holy. I opened this thinking "please god no. I like these comics pls let this be a joke" and then it was so thank you ❤

why oh whyyyyyy???

Brutus doesn't need a girlfriend. What he needs is a RIVAL. Stella vs Brutus! Always trying to one up each other on their strengh, agility and training!

Can they at least be friends? :(

ROOD! Brutus is adorable and needs love too!!

That’s messed up

Ngl... I probably would have shipped this if it was a real thing lmao but I'm actually glad you chose to not do anything romantic in this comic. Most of the charm of P&B already comes from not-romantic relationships between characters anyway.

That brought a good chuckle. Thank you

I dont mind there being romance or not. I got different comic artists for that. What i DO mind is being tricked into thinking there would be romance, getting my hopes up, and then them being crushed. And on patreon appreciation day dirty trick making me reconsider my subscription

You 100% could've made Stella a dream

Well I wasn't even considering it until you brought it up. Thanks dude! xC

BAD artist. No cookie for you today.

Damn you. I only joined patreon for you to end up trolling me. I’m dead now 🙃

wow-wee

Do you wanna trigger the internet? Because this is how you trigger the internet.

♥️♥️

Love it lol

Feels sort of like a trick to have the screenshot on your IG to get people to subscribe to your patreon and then make it a bait and switch. Should have been a free comic instead.

You know that playing with the Internet like this is super risky.

I took so much self discipline to heart this comic after that....

Boooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!! 😞

Sigh..... You broke my 💜 Brutus needs a lady....

Oh whew! That scared me for a moment

ah damn. I was so excited after the second panel............

I would have liked to have seen how that went or with the other dog in an earlier comic. Very disappointing.

AAAHhhh man, I joined your Patreon just to see with who Brutus fell in love.. Oh well :(

Idc about the romance but give us Stella!

so mean. he deserves a lady dog if he would like one.

Tbh I'm not much for romance either. Plot twist tho: Brutus is popular with lots of lady dogs around town but he doesn't care or notice that sort of thing :D

How dare you lol he looked so cute falling in love 😭

God damn it give us Stella or we riot!

Booooo!

Damn u xD

😥😥😥😥 I soooooo would have loved to see a romance there!!!!!

I love Stella thooooo!!!

i love stella look, she is pretty ^^

I would have loved to see more stella...so sad :C

You rust literally ripped my dreams apart 😂

I was so down for this :( Stella is my dog's name too!

Adorable! but i do hate romantic subplots so i was worried for a second. Stella is baby though.

Oooh too bad 😭

In all honestly what threw me off the most wasn’t the love it was that for a solid second I thought Brutus had both eyes back and I got very confused

You totally named her Stella for the the purpose of STELLLLLAAAA, I'm convinced

ITS STILL HAPPENING IN MY MIND.

I liked Stella very much, such a nice design. But I think this is a story about friends and family so it's OK.

Why do hate Brutus? Can't soldiers get love too?

NOooooooooooooooooo!! Stellaaaaaa!

you had us in the first half, I’m not going to lie.. 😂

You MONSTER! I freaking loved this. XD

-chant- We want Stella! WE WANT STELLA!🤣📣

you legit got me. i slapped this table so hard my hand hurts

It will happen, we want brutus to have love love.

Well, I'm sorry, you've put that in people's head now. Even if you say it isn't happening, it's happening.

I have been bamboozled

WHYYYYYYYYYYYY??????????

Well, I guess the fan artists have another character to work with, even if you won't ;)

😂😂😂😂 rude

I dont like paying for stuff, but when i saw sneak peak off this post on instagram i just had to see it and now i feel sad cous u joked 😭💔 also this up is bugged for me, so even more sad that i bought it, when i try zooming in on the posts it turns al black🤦🏼‍♀️

Uhhh....what!?! Boo!! Stella! Stella! Stellllllllaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

YOUUUUU DEMOOOOONNNN! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

OMG!!!! This was hilarious and unexpected!!!! 🤣🤣

Not hitting like on this one, sorry

Take it from an '80's girl (who loves your comic), the word you want is psych.

Sitting at my work desk giggling at this one, making my coworkers question my sanity. 😂

Noooooooo I wanted it to happen 😭😭😭💔💔💔

I was like damn pixie works for the FBI that got all the intel so fast

Awwwww. I hate shipping culture with a burning passion and even I was down with this

oof you had me confused for a second there! XD Will Stella still stick around as a character (minus the love interest bit, obviously) or was she made just for the joke?

Bet

💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔 - you had me so hopeful!

You really think people won't take this, name them Brella, and create the ship without you?

Whew!!!! Had me worried for a sexy there

Brutus needs love, man. That's harsh. He spends all his time taking care of Pixie, it'd be nice for him to have someone looking out for him.

Had us in the first half, not gonna lie

People are still gonna do it, watch

lol i actually would of been down for it

Phew....

Too fishy to fool me but my poor sappy heart wanted it. Maybe he and pixie will make Valentine's for each other and that'll be all the love we need. Or maybe their owner will get a gf that Brutus loves

DAMN YOU DAMNN YOUUU TO HELLLLL 😭😭😭😭

Too good to be true SMH 🤣

What was the point of this?

Nooo! Haha- I knew something was fishy. It was just too perfect.

Nooooo, we need a Brutus & Stella romance 😭😭😭 pleasy pleaseeeee

I.want.to.cry..... I was so excited for Brutus!!

Unpopular opinion: good, I'm glad. Please don't double sike

Oh thank God! You had me going for a second there.... 😪😆

NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO awe man oh well

I WANT THAT! DON'T LET IT GOOO :((((

AH C'MON! NOT EVEN FOR THE PATREONS?!

Awwww

That was mean!!!!

Ok. I'm offended.... 😭😭😂

And maybe.... Brutus is neutered?

USE ME AS A HEARTBREAK BUTTON

You monster.

I bought the patreon for this- my parents are gonna kill me--

NOOOO THIS MUST HAPPEN

Dang it I was looking forward to this series

Ohhh nooo. C'mon

DAMNIT!!! I was so excited!!!

You had me there for a second, I want Lola to be such a bad ass that Brutus just *faceplants*

This oddly satisfying

Oh c'mon!! Stella is so pretty!!!

😂😂😂 MEANIE!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! cmooooooon

Too late, you already introduced Lola :P

So.. does this just seem kind of shitty to anyone else? Like... dude, you could have just NOT made this comic. If you don't want to give Brutus a love interest then don't, but why specifically make a comic that's basically saying you have no respect for those in your audience who might like that?

I demand a twitterpated Brutus, crag-nabbit!!!

Twas a cruel trick sire 😞

Ahhh I’m really disappointed!! Would have been a fun new character and possible storylines.

But will we ever see Stella again?

And on patron appreciation day! I think. (I got an email saying it was lol)

And herr i thiught he a soft spot for Lola

Oh cmooooooon

I KNEW IT! But I’m disappointed, just the same. 😂😂

Imagine pixie as the super cool aunt with lots of wisdom (passed down from her big brother ;D) giving it to the three pups that have the super shenanigans and pixies just trying to wrangle them. It could be a sequel series!!!

Nooooooo

It's incredible how Pixie knows everything about the neighborhood, all the hot gossip hehe

Haha I knew it! I saw the title and I said “there’s no way he would do the shipping thing, he’s not like Disney” 😂

BUT BRUELLA MUST HAPPEN!!!!! IT'S TOO LATE. I'M SHIPPING THEM

I never thought i wanted a ship for Brutus but that first bit made me happy then you crushed my new realised dream of a ship XD lol

Boo! Hiss!

This makes me so happy.

Time to uhhh you know... unsubscribe

LMAO!

I got all excited too!

Nuuuh I want Brutus to be in love with her *^*

It would actually be a cool idea to have Stella...sigh

Not cool. He needs someone special too. They could watch Pixie together!

Hope you know you’ve sealed your own fate, people are gonna draw ship art of her anyways xD

Stella is definitely a thing 100%.

Looool! Well done Sir.

Now that's just mean :(

Perfection.

Way to crush my dreams dude?!?!

I feel betrayed

You're a horrible person and I like it.

I don't need the ship! But i need Stella!!!

But noo we want a romantic interest for hiim :(

Awwwww... STELLAAAAA!

Lol, awesome! This comic alone was worth all my Patreon contributions!

....but...she's so cute :( will we never see her again?

Stella!!!!! *yells from bottom of the stairs*

I want Brutus to find love! This hurts my heart! Plus the Police K-9 is such a nice touch!

That was mean...lol

This is hilarious but now you made me feel sad for brutus

Thank you for keeping things simple. Not ever comic/story needs a love story.

Hahaha daaamn! Ngl, was so excited! 😂😂😂

This makes me happy ngl I’m happy there’s no ship 😂😂

STELLAAAAAAAAA

Firstly, ow.

WE NEED THIS PLEASE, WE ALREADY SHIP IT

Too late. I ship them already. They'd be so cute.

I will pay 2 dollars to have that

💔💔💔💔💔💔 😭😭😭😭😭

Tbh tho i love the idea of this character actually exisiting, but as a "bromance" type thing. No romance, just brutus having a female friend from a similar background to interact with.

W h y

Aaaaaand just like that, the snowball has begun!

🤣

Lol @betty Adams! Yes, I feel for Brutus, he needs a bit more in his life than mentoring/parenting his kitten!

I'll pay 2$/month to see the ship

WE NEEEEEEED THIS. BRUTUS NEEDS THIS. ; n ; I NEED THIS. THIS WOULD BE SO CUTE.

Noooooo

They had us the first half, I'm not gonna lie.

He had us in the first half, not gonna lie

... fascinating... I've never hated one of the artists I've supported before...

Nooooo!! We want to see a love story!

OH COME OOOONNNNNN

Poor Brutus. The next comic should be Brutus kicking the Artist out a window or biting the pencil that is drawing the comic since it has been shown they are aware they are in a comic and can read our posts

Too late the ship has sailed. I will die for them.

Awwwww why not???? That would be soo cute! Good prank though lol

Awww but she looked like a good girl. Maybe no love but be fun to have her around as a gal pal to pixie

Awww damn

You got me there

Oh come on! Can’t tease like that!

AW MAN Don't play with my emotions like that man XD Still adorable though. Will forever be shipped now lol

On one hand, I really want to know where this was going to end up so I'll leave it to the fan comics I guess. On the other hand, wtf is "shipping"? Did I just get older? Is this another "YOLO" thing?

Nooooooooo! I ship them. 💜💚 The labrador girl is more like a sister. Brutus need someone in his life. Pixie will not be an adorable bundle of joy eternally (i know that's it's a BD and she will never age)

Noooooooo!!! 😭😭😭

Rude!

Poor Brutus

I lol'd hard

How dare you tease us like that

Goddamnit

Not gonna lie, you had me in the first half.

What... what just happened?? 😭

Everyone here is shipping Brella. Y’all fools forgot about Lola!

NOOOOOOO I was looking forward to see what would happen next

I love Stella now 😩😩😩

For that we have fancomics mate. And there is nothing you can do about it. Now you created this female shepard you can't go back. You have unleashed the furries now, there is no turning back.

Ooh you got me

No you monster STELLAAAAAAAAA!

SAY SIKE RIGHT NOW- oh.

I ship this

You got me for a second there 🤣

WHYYYYYY?!?! I don't even like dogs (follow because pixie is best), but i actually agreed with that idea!

Oh good, I was getting worried for a second 😅 I love that there's finally something I enjoy reading that doesn't have unnecessary romance in it

Yooou suuuck

😥

BRELLA FOREVER

I only say this cuz it is my catchphrase. I love your work otherwise I wouldnt be paying for it but FUCK YOU AND YOUR BULLSHIT!!!! WHY!!!! HE NEEDS LOVE TOO HE CANT BE NO SINGLE DAD FOREVER!!!

You ass XD

We are romantics, we demand Brella

Hahahaha XD I love this! As someone who doesn't ship anything in this wonderful series, this made me lol enough that my boss asked me what's up. XD

would of been better for april fools

Ah, come’on! Puppy love.

Nope you're committed now, you gotta have it happen

BOOOOO 👎🌚

I read the title and was like, wait what? That doesn't fit... and then it started and I was like, alright, well it isss cute. And then bam! Hahahaha awesome

Brella is life!

Well that wasn’t nice 😂

It’s too late, I ship them 🥰

Damn unsubscribe

Boo

How could you!!

Die, author, die 😒

🤣😂

:(

Fan art, commence!

Omg I was so excited !!! But BRELLLAA IS FOREVER

You have challanged the internet... The ship already sailed when the title was shown

I ship!!! Omg!!

Awh why not

thank you i was so afraid

Nooo!!! 😭😭

But Brutus must have more relationship s! That will help character development

Stelllllaaaaaaaaaaaa

😂😂😂

😂😂😂👍

Hahaha

Damn you. I absolutely approved of the pairing already.

Aw. But some of us are romanticists, lol

Evil!

Shipped! ♡♡

NOOOOOO 😭😭😭😭

This won’t stop me because I can’t read.

Not cool man :(

All it takes is a spark of idea, mate :))

what the HECK

WHY WOULD YOU PLAY WITH MY HEART LIKE THIS.

Hilarious

BRELLA IS OTP

Umm... to late I already ship Stella with Brutus

Not cool dude...

The people want brutus to find love

Brutal.

😂😂

Noooooooooooo, STEEEELLLLLLLAAAAAAA!

I've been bamboozled!!!

Lmaoooooo

Damn!

Too late. Let the Brella ship sail

😂😂😂

Too funny!

Too late
