Teeeeeeeeaser
I've been asked for quite some time if/when I will make a full-blown Pixie and Brutus graphic novel. Welp, it's finally happening! This is the lineart for the first page!
We haven't pitched the comic to any publishing houses yet, but I just thought I'd share this with you guys. I'll probably share more sneak peaks as the project progresses...

I’d like to see all the strips so far in a book.
Yes! I've been watching for notices of a graphic novel of these guys!
Just take my money
Self publish and we will buy!
It’s so cool!
😍 aaaaahhhh!!! So exciting
Another vote for kickstarter and self-publishing! I wouldn't do print-in-demand, they'll take too much off the top and they won't be as good as an offset print run which you can likely do gangbusters on given your following. Good luck, whatever path you take!
Also digging the new art style. :)
This just makes me want a P&B coloring book :)
I can't wait! I love pixie and Brutus
Oh my!!! I cant wait ❤🙀
Its Brutus. Look at that ear.
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!
I agree! Shut up and take my money! I love Pixie and Brutus!
omg are there two kitties? Who's Pixie's friend? I need this so much! I would so do the kickstarter.
I think that's just showing her movement across the yard.
Would probably do well on Kickstarter
You can also self publish at Lulu.com. It's very easy and allows you to set your own pricing based on the amount of pages.
So cool! In the meantime, could you give us a few colouring pages for the kids?
Awww !! This makes me so excited !! I'd definitely support on Kickstarter or the like if you go that route! Look forward to more of sneak peaks!
In response to the calls for crowdfunding: Not that I am disparaging crowdfunding in any way (90% of my favorite comics are kickstarted), but dealing with the printers and fulfillment yourself are a major undertaking, especially for high volume projects like this is guaranteed to be. I've seen many a webcomic artist have mental breakdowns because they couldn't fulfill the pledges of their overly successful campaigns. If you want to go down the crowdfunding road, I'd suggest a pledge manager like BackerKit or Make That Thing.
Yep. I have seen successful Kickstarters sink everything from comics (I'm looking at you Lady Sabre and Wart) to lock picks to ceramic tools. There are fulfillment companies to take the burden off the artists, but they can cut into already-thin margins.
can't wait!
i am sooooo excited !!!
Sweet! That's awesome!
You should also make a coloring book!
Oh man, oh man, OH MAN, I'm so excited for this!
My god how exciting is this!!! Those bulgy eyes is hilarious. Can’t wait dude!
This is exciting! I've worked a bit in the publishing industry, so my tip would be to get an agent first! Although they take a commission, from the profits of the book, they ultimately know the details industry much better and know how to negotiate for your rights and for your profit muuuuch better than most authors are able to i.e. to only sell the English rights and not world rights, so you can get better foreign book deals too! Although, to be fair, I was more in the literary sphere and not graphic novels, so do take this advice with a grain of salt. But I wish you all the best!! :)
For Consideration: "John Wick" and Brutus have a history?
Don't pitch it to any publisher, set up an indigogo or a kickstarter campaign and get rid of the middle man
Yessssssssss!!
I liked the old design better
Good luck. It will be great.
Awesome!
Omg this new style for Pixie reminds me of the cartoon for Sagwa the Chinese Siamese Cat that I used to watch as a little kid
My life is officially on pause now until this completes me! Thanks a lot, Ben! >:C <3
Woohooo!!!
Yeah getting a small publisher would be great.
Yay!!!!
I'd buy it!
CAN'T. WAIT!!
I'm looking forward to it!!
Nice! There is always Kickstarter if you can't get a publishing house.
With the number of people who follow you, you could easily just fund it via a Kickstarter campaign. It seems most of the artists these days go that route!
👏👏👏
I am so behind this!!
Yea!!!
If you can't get a publishing house to do it, crowd fund it! I have no doubt you'd hit it out of the park. Congrats!
Absolutely buying this! Super excited 😜
I am already saving up!
Yesssss!!!!🎉🎉
SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!
YAY!!
It looks amazing!!!!!!!!!!!
Take my money.
That's so cool!
Squeee! YES! Can't wait. :)
"This will make a fine addition to my collection"
So excited for this! I hope you're able to write and direct it exactly as you envision!
