Pixie And Brutus Comics Already Have Over 1,4M Followers And These Are Their 6 Newest Strips
Pixie and Brutus is one of those cute comics that put a smile on many people’s faces no matter how their day went. So far, the man behind them, Ben Hed, has massed a huge, 1,4M-strong Instagram following, and these two adorable critters are one of the main reasons why.
1.
Ben, however, doesn’t feel any additional pressure now that hex5cs got a gigantic fan army. “I do worry about each comic’s performance, but I worried about that before I created Pixie and Brutus too,” he told Bored Panda. “I always want to do better.”
Looking for new ways people could enjoy the series, Ben also revealed his newest plans. “I’m in the process of getting some Pixie and Brutus plushies. Not sure when they’ll be ready but I’m pretty excited to release them!”
2.
Recently, Ben has devoted all of his time to his artistic endeavors, becoming a full-time illustrator. “I get a lot less sunlight, haha! When I worked construction, I was outside all the time, and now I spend most the day sitting in my office in the dark with the windows covered, so there’s no glare on my screen! Nah, just kidding!… I mean, it’s true, but I don’t want to sound regretful of my career change, because I’m not. Illustration is what I love, and I’m incredibly lucky and grateful that I actually get paid to do it!”

As you might’ve noticed, Pixie is a tiny, joyful, cute kitten. An innocent fluff who’s somewhat oblivious to the serious, dangerous stuff happening around her. On the other hand, Brutus is a large, scar-faced German Shepherd. Pixie’s owner adopted him after Brutus retired as a Military Working Dog (MWD). You could say Brutus is, in many ways, the exact opposite of the funny cat. “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.”
4.
“Honestly, Pixie and Brutus were just another random webcomic idea I had while at work,” Ben told Bored Panda earlier. “I was never planning on making these cute drawings a series, and 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.”
5.
Now, he spends roughly a day, maybe two every week working on this amazing animal friendship.

Aaaaw the spider! Children are so innocent and unbiased. Adults can learn from them a lot.
Aww, I agree, that´ spider one was c-u-t-e!

Load More Replies...The spider was my favorite. We should really cut spiders some slack.
TJler wants to harm his own kind... Actually that's harsh. I may not like spiders but they are at least of use to the planet.
Load More Replies...For some reason I find the little one about Brutus' first owner really sad. Does anyone know the story? Did he make it out of war alive? I'm randomly sad...
He reffered to him as "was". So...I don't think so... That's really sad.
Load More Replies...I've been called pixie all my life (I'm 71). It's a name you don't run across that often, so when I do, somehow it makes me feel special. I LOVE having this little Pixie to relate to.
I love Pixie and Brutus so much!!!! I'm always so excited when they come out!
Facts, Emma these are facts. Cartoon makes me feel a wee bit better about the world.
Load More Replies...Do not give TJl any votes (up/down) or comments - keep him at Zero. If he has downvotes - upvote him back to 0. Bore him with no reactions
Load More Replies...Sergio.... why??? That one broke my heart. Get away from me you damn ninja cutting onions!
I guessing thats where Brutus got the some of the scars. Rest easy Sgt. Who Rah.
Load More Replies...Yeah so about that movie/series about this? When should we expect it? and who would be the voice of smol lil' Pixie, and best bro Brutus?
Seth MacFarlane could do both. And all the friends as well.
Load More Replies...The relationship between Pixie and Brutus is so pure and innocent, it just lights up the whole world! I hope these comics never stop!
Yup, spider's web is a beaufitul thing. Pity it doesn't look so good from the 'I walked through a forest and now I have one on my face' perspective.
One day I opened my window and put my head out to breathe some fresh air...and stuck it right through a spider's web.
Load More Replies...Seriously love these and I ALWAYS look forward to new ones! . Thanks for sharing them with us!
My name is Lucas, I am a spider, I want to be your friend all day long....
AAA I legit got so excited when I saw the article title!! I really enjoy these!
Well, I may be scared of spiders, but this is probably the cutest one in the history books.
My favorite videos are really, really big dogs being so gentle and caring with tiny little kittens and cats. Humans sure could learn something from that.
NO! They would be unrecognizable in no time. I would much prefer this: "DISNEY! Give this man enough professional space to make it without being gobbled up by the behemoth."
Load More Replies...I absolutely LOVE this strip and I really look forward to them. I am so glad you are doing this full time now. Good luck with your change of career. I hope you get all you want in following your dream. You are certainly more than talented enough to be a great success.
The second one is a little sad, I noticed Brutus used past tense. Is his handler dead? Unexpected sadness in these adorable comics!
Das ist eine großartige Idee die du gemacht hast Der Comic ist sehr interssant Pixie lernt von Brutus die Gefahren einzuschätzen und alles mögliche, was in der Welt passiert
SPIDER WAS CUTE but i no like spiders tho BUT I LOVE PIXIE AND BRUTUS
I have a question about Sergeant Sergio Castillo. Brutus said, "...he was a nice guy." What happened? Did he end up giving his all? Did he retire and no longer needed Brutus? I sure hope it wasn't that something happened in his head to where he no longer was a nice guy any more1
In my head as I read these, it's Mike Ermantraut (Jonathan Banks) as the voice of Brutus.
this little dog in the first comic is my little chihuahua Bambii xD he thinks he is a suuuper big dog and he also barks at dogs who are 16 heads bigger than he is
I keep adding animated voices to the characters as I read this. WHEN ARE YOU GETTING PICKED UP BY ADULT SWIM??
These are all so cute. I have to confess, I see a lot of nuances between Bucky Barnes and Steve Rogers and the marvel fan universe. Steve being the "Asthmatic chihuahua" that Bucky has to rescue. Hahaha. The ones of Pixie having super powers and Brutus/Bucky doing the hard stuff. NO THEY AREN'T PLAGARIZED,I just see a lot of cute similarities In My own fantasy land.
So sweet! But is Pixie the size of a spider, or is that spider the size of a kitten?
Love this story, wish there was more could not get enough of it, so much inspiration from little Pixie and brutus
Pixie is a spiderbro! High fi- Uh, fist bum- I mean, toe bean bump! :-P
Go jump in a lake you stale fruitcake of a troll!
