Nabbed By His Own Kind

So the "cat" burglar is really a dog. Nabbed by his own kind no less.
Way to go PH and BW!

Behind The Scenes With Rich

Orginally Robby John was just going to be anoymous. "Dog thief" is all Ed and I called him in our original script.
Then I saw the Alfred Hitchcock classic To Catch A Thief in which Cary Grant plays a retired burglar named John Robie who is nicknamed "The Cat." And an idea was planted as to our own thief ...
Thus the name Robby John "The Dog" is a tip of the hat to Cary Grant's John Robie "The Cat" in a movie I doubt many people my age -28- have seen. Or even know exsists in the first place.
So Hobo and Bowser has tipped our hat to Mr. Hitchcock.

Page 25 (An update on time!)

...And here we are. Page 25 came out rather well, it took me quite a while to get Puppy Hobo to look right in the second panel. For some reason he just wouldn't come together right when I first started to draw him, the end result though came out just as I envisioned him... His look is one of pity/disgust. What greater insult to a dog then being called anything "cat".

The current story line only has a few more pages to go and then the first script we've been working from will wrap! Have no fear though, Rich is hard at work on script number 2!
