Hey Buddy Comics are about relationships between dogs and their owners. They encapsulate the quintessential experience of having a dog: from love to heartbreak, the cuteness and silliness of each and every situation.

I have been writing short dialogues about my dog since he was a puppy. The intense affection I felt for a creature I could not communicate with inspired me to imagine the conversations we would have if I could. Let's be real here, who hasn't wished they could talk with their dog? I'm pretty sure the conversations would be lovely.

Unknowingly, it amounted to loads of fun little imaginary conversations. Recently, I realized that the vast collection of stuff I had written might entertain other people. The problem was they were kind of boring to look at in text form. They needed to be brought to life to have the same energy and vigor as my actual dog.

Enter Hey Buddy Comics by the talented artist K, who draws the scenarios I imagined. Together, we planned out a series of comics based on my stories. You can see the fruits of our labor below. This is the 4th time we've been featured on Bored Panda. Check out parts 1, 2, and 3 at their respective links here.

I hope you like them. We also make custom commissions and comics for our most generous Patreon contributors, or add a bonus comic from time to time. There are many more to come! Find us on Instagram, Facebook, or our webpage if you want to see them.

Dogs don't get the virus so you can cuddle with your best friend for as long as you want

Why all the downvotes for the comment about the person who disagrees? Yes there are similarities, not it is not the same. Ask anyone with a dog and a child they will tell you the same. It doesn't invalidate the work needed to raise and train a puppy or keep your dog happy. It just is not the same on the long run. It's okay to disagree with other people's opinions, we don't need to be jerks about it.

I've had multiple dogs raised from birth and gave birth to and raised multiple children. it is exactly the same with the exception of slightly different body language used for dogs since they can't actually ever speak english.

While puppies prepare you for babies (minus the diapers), cats prepare you for teenagers.

lol definitely. Never wanna be around you, all of them are sarcastic even though they can't even talk, but you know if they could they would be spewing ironic comments left and right

Ughh, I can't stand people that say this kind of s**t.. "you're dog isn't a kid" - my dogs ARE my kids, they're loved and treated like children and in fact they're much better then any human brat.

While I don't agree with calling someone else's child a brat I do agree that our pets are our kids. I have two young kids and four dogs. My dogs are spoiled rotten and are my kids. In fact, my in-laws call them their grand puppies. My dogs even get Christmas and birthday gifts!

And people like that are the main reason that I don't have kids. Just dogs, dogs, dogs. Dogs are enough! 🐾🐾

It's not the same. Can you lock your kids in a kennel & leave them alone in the house for 8 to 10 hours a day? Can you take a kid for a walk with a chain around their neck? Can you have your kid neutered when they become teens? I think if you did any of those things, you'd be in serious trouble with Child Protective Services.

only that those that don't like animals at all or have one that they love as children will say that. those of us that LOVE our animals as children will ALWAYS disagree.

Well, it's not. There are some similarities, but it's really not. It may be like having a toddler, but you didn't go through pregnancy, didn't go through numerous sleep-deprived nights to feed them, and aren't expected to raise them into independence. You don't send them to training school for over a decade and are expected to continuously assist their progress there. They are also unlikely to mention embarrassing private things about you (like children might unknowingly do), nor will they ever disagree about political and or/religious matters.

Yeah, that's why I will ALWAYS have dogs and NEVER have kids. Plus the dog is grateful and loves you unconditionally while you could be the best parent ever and the kid could still hate you or become a horrible person. It is however bold of you to assume that every parent went through pregnancy...

Personally I find this isn’t true... dogs are much harder to raise. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, humans grow up and learn to fend for themselves, dogs will always rely on you. But that’s my own experience I’ve only had 2 children and 2 dogs.

Well....to be fair, I gave a 200 lbs Irish Wolfhound and he is expensive..but not as expensive as a child. I can't compare myself to a child parent.

Yikes, every time I see ridiculous and untrue hair color stereotypes like that, it's so cringy. Couldn't the brunette one be the stuck up b****y one instead and the blonde haired one be the cool, dog-loving owner?

Yeah, well, I cried when I had to say goodbye to my fur babies. Hugs before, tears after - many tears. But I always went right to the shelter and got a new one. However many you love, there are always more waiting to be loved.

Some dogs usually let the other one win in a play fight, so I think that is what is going on. (My dogs do the same thing)

At the end of the day, siblings are still siblings. Love them with all of your heart. I often feel like the white one while my brothers are the bigger one. But it doesn't mean that we don't love each other!

Had my dogs trained to come running if I said "oops!" as it meant I'd dropped food.
