Buggy

Get Up!

» This one's been floating around in my head for quite a while. This is actually the first strip to be inspired, not by my children, but by the characters based on them. Yelling at Baby to keep walking after he fell down (he's only taking his first steps!) just seems like something Buggy would do! (To see a larger version, head on over to my relatively-new comics journal.)

Pumpkins

» An update! We carved pumpkins with the children Tuesday night: one pumpkin for Elizabeth, one for Alex. After much debate, we settled on carving the "Buggy" characters. They turned out really cute, as you can see.

» I don't know what it is with kids and bread crusts. Elizabeth didn't used to mind them; now she won't eat them. And yes, ham and cheese and mustard is her favorite sandwich.

» There's no specific real-life incident that inspired this strip, but Elizabeth does love playing baseball. And Alex does get a lot of balls bounced off his noggin. (Though I confess that may be more my fault than Elizabeth's.)

No Eat Dars!

» Elizabeth can sometimes be bossy toward her little brother. Particularly when he's trying to eat something that's hers. Or something she thinks is hers. Or something she thinks we think he shouldn't be eating.

Homerum!

» Elizabeth likes to play baseball. Sometimes she likes to pitch, sometimes she likes to bat. Last week, she was standing on her bed, and I was pitching to her. I tossed the ball, and she made solid contact, shooting it down towards the floor where it rolled to the doorway. Sarah and I were pleased with the hit, but we were not expecting her to suddenly jump up in the air and yell, "Homewum!" She'd never said the word before, but of course, every time she swung the bat after that, that was her refrain.

Buggy is a comic about a 2-year-old girl and her baby brother. It's based on my own children, Elizabeth (whose nickname is "Buggy") and Alexander.

I don't plan on keeping "regular" updates; rather, new strips will be posted on Fridays when they're available.

I'll also include some commentary, as most strips are inspired by real life events. And readers should feel free to add their own commentary; that ability is one of the reasons I chose to set the site up as a blog.

Enjoy!
