Pixie And Brutus Comics Already Have Over 2.3M Followers And Here Are Their 18 Newest Strips

ADVERTISEMENT

One and half years ago, illustrator Ben Hed uploaded a new comic to his Instagram account. In it, a kitty named Pixie got a foster brother — Brutus, the retired military dog. The Internet instantly fell in love with the adorable duo, so Ben decided to dedicate an entire series to their fun little adventures.

“Honestly, Pixie and Brutus were just another random comic idea I had while at work. I was never planning on making them a series,” Hed told Bored Panda in an earlier interview. “I just thought it would be a funny idea to introduce a cute little kitten to a big intimidating war dog. So I made the first Pixie and Brutus cute animal comic and people liked it so much, I just kept making them.”

Now, over 2.3 million people follow Ben on Instagram, and Pixie and Brutus contributed to this insane number quite a bit. Whether you’re new to the series or know these two very well, their new comics are just as pawesome as the old ones and should really brighten up your day.

Of course, the series is much more than its main characters. The supporting cast is wonderful, the storytelling is exciting, and the art is beautiful. But the complex, polar opposite stars of the show really take it to another level. “Pixie is a tiny, joyful, energetic kitten,” Ben introduced the beloved feline. “She’s innocent, and also somewhat oblivious to the serious, dangerous stuff around her.”

Brutus, on the contrary, is a large, scar-faced German Shepherd. “He was adopted by Pixie’s owner after retiring as a Military Working Dog (MWD). Brutus, in many ways, is the exact opposite of Pixie. He’s… seen things. He’s a very serious and intimidating military dog, but he has a soft spot for Pixie and does what he can to protect her from the harsh realities of the world around them.”

Keeping up with demand from such a big fan army might pose pressure for some but instead, Hed has been using it to push himself as an artist even more, saying “I do worry about each comic’s performance, but I worried about that before I created Pixie and Brutus too.” Following that interview, his Instagram followers substantially increased, which he said never ceases to amaze him.

Wait, what happened to Hugo's eye? Where is the continuation ? Great comics, as always.

I looked on Instagram. When he was a puppy, his eye got pecked by a chicken. That's why he's so scared of birds.

The one of Hugo on the "high ledge" was my favorite. However, the chupracabra one at the end was hysterical!

Hmmm, starting to suspect the name "murder" for a group of crows might be somewhat deserved.

Hugo lost his eye because of a bird which is why he’s afraid of them. They should have included that comic too.

I thought it was well planned as a way for newbies to Pixie and Brutus to go back and find out. Not that the spoilers spoilers will stop me from joining the fun from the beginning

Comic 8 roughly translates to: "don't worry friend, be calm, we'll be fine.". Also, in the last panel in the bonus comic, the goat has a bigfoot imprint on its white patch of fur.

Plot twist- this is also an advertising! Ever since it's been posted on BP for the first time! But i guess u didnt realise that, since it's not a "huge corporation". 😹

This is so cute! I was waiting for more comics! This also reminds me of one of my friends. She has a kitten that looks like Pixie (Her name is actually Dixie!) and a dog that has been to war too, when he was young. It’s kind of crazy because they both remind me of Pixie and Brutus!

8 made me cry. People forget animals can have PTSD too. It's a good thing he has pixie to be his emotional support kitten. I love this comic strip!

I have only one criticism. There aren't any 300 lbs dogs. Even if a dog of one of the largest breeds in existence was morbidly obese it'd be hard pressed to reach 300 lbs. Thank you and welcome to my TED-talk.
