We have featured Minnesota illustrator Ben Hed’s work before here on Bored Panda, laughing along with his imaginings of animals flirting like humans, and featuring his wildly popular comic creations Pixie and Brutus. His Pet Foolery Instagram page, featuring “goofy little comics” that feature various types of animals, has really taken off, with the success of Pixie and Brutus in particular pushing him close to 1 million followers.
The contrast between Pixie, a sweet, naive kitten who Ben describes as “joyful and energetic,” and gruff, cynical former military dog Brutus is the secret to the pair’s popularity. They have all kinds of adventures, with Pixie’s enthusiastic bumblings bringing despair to the serious and sometimes grumpy Brutus. He has a real soft spot for her though, and will do anything to protect her! “Honestly, Pixie and Brutus were just another random comic idea I had while at work,” Ben told us. “I was never planning on making them a series, 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 comic, and people liked it so much I just kept making them.”
And he is still making them today! Scroll down to see the latest batch of this adorable series, and let us know what you think in the comments!

These are some of the best comics on the internet. Upbeat, funny, cute, compassionate and speaks to our society.
Not just the internet! It's one of the greatest comic "strips" of all time. These could easily be ranked with the classics (Family Circus, Peanuts, Far Side) EDIT: How dare I not include Hagar the Horriable and Calvin and Hobbes. Forgive me Malissa and danielw!
how dare you include Family Circus.
And Calvin and Hobbes!
no hagar the horrible or crankshaft?
IF YALL R LOOKIN FOR THE COMICS: https://www.instagram.com/pet_foolery/
I'd love to see these as an animated film as well. Or animated series. Or BOTH! ♥ (preferably in 2d, as they are in the comic, but 3d is okay too)
When I was a kid, I'd say 3D, as a grown up kid, 2D will do it for me.
Cody.... thanks for making me feel old. I still remember when Babylon 5's CGI were amazing. Blew star trek out of the water.... which is no surprise since ST:DS9's first season was stolen from an early bible for the show. Naw. I'm not really a fan... not at all....
Aww, now I want comics in which Lola and Mr. Wrinkles realize that Brutus isn't that bad and all four team up, go on adventures and become friends

Thanks 😂 poor Mr. Wrinkles
don't forget randal
For Randall, I say he should be voiced by the guy that plays Badger in Breaking Bad... he's also the ex-husband of Anna Faris' character on the show Mom...
One of them HAS to be played by Steve Zahn
and possibly harass the racoon. Clearly, that guy is a klepto.
Yay, a second part! These comics series would eventually become one of the best in their category ever created! I'm sure of it!
There's a first part?
