I went back and forth about whether or not to put a dialogue punchline in the last panel, but decided that I liked it better silent. I think it leaves more to the imagination. If you have your own pu...
Hi all! Not a lot going on personally (except for a massive project I’m working on which I can’t talk about yet), so I thought I’d link to some stuff I’ve been enjoying the la...
TCAF was amazing!!! Just thought I’d get that out of the way. To all of you who came out to see me, it was a pleasure. That show is my favourite of the year, filled with interesting, creative p...
Did you know that the Toronto Comic Arts Festival (TCAF) is the best comics-related show of the year? Because it is! I missed it last year due to baby-rearing, but I’ll be there this weekend (M...
Hi all! Just a quick heads-up to say I’ll be at TCAF (the Toronto Comic Arts festival) this weekend. If you can make it out to say hi, please do! Details below…
This should be interesting. I hope he fares better in his hunt than Robert Baratheon, right everybody? Ha ha! That’s some Game of Thrones humour for y’all right there. ahem. Anyway...
Look, I know what you’re thinking, but I’m sure this girl is perfectly nice.
Every time I do one of these Father Bird strips now, I have to text my wife and tell her that it is not a reflection of my feelings about our marriage. Just in case she reads it and becomes concerned...
Get an original drawing in your copy of The Abominable Charles Christopher: Book One! These have been unavailable since before Christmas but I’ve freed up some time to offer them again. ...
I’ve wrapped up work on the new Assassin’s Creed book I’ve been writing and drawing with Cameron Stewart! That means that I’m out from under the deadline guillotine and I have...
You know how writers always talk about characters ‘writing themselves’? This is one of those examples of a character who was originally just a piece of set dressing in a previous e...
Guess what day it is! Now that I’ve read this strip again, I think it works best to the tune of ‘Fraggle Rock’. Specifically, the end of the song where Boober repeats the las...
I always thought of wood-chucking as the act of taking down trees, beaver-style. But that is not the case. From Wikipedia: The etymology of the name woodchuck is unrelated to wood or chucking. It ste...
Most important meal of the day, right?
Lots of great feedback on last week’s episode, including some good guesses as to who the guy in the cave is. We’ll get back to him later. For now, it’s nice to draw Charles again. I...
Here we go! Chapter Three begins now…
I guess this swan thing isn’t out of my system yet.
I didn’t sleep much last night. So on my way to the studio this morning, I was thinking: I should do a strip today about an animal who can’t sleep. But what animal? I’d certainly li...
You’re probably thinking: this is another fairly amusing animal comic, but where is the title character? Where’s the story?? I just want to let you know that he’ll be returning soon...
This strip was inspired by Mr.Asbo, who is a poster boy for jerk swans. I have never personally been attacked by a swan, but I’ve been chased by them and they can be pretty scary. I was also ch...
This pretty much encapsulates all of my experiences playing organized sports. Or any team-based anything, really.
Nothing like topical humour! I want to assure you all that I re-watched ‘Three Men and a Baby‘ this morning in order to properly capture the feel of the film for this dramatization. So no...
I think this might be the first lizard in this comic. If so, I apologize to lizards everywhere for the oversight. So it’s officially almost the Year of the Dragon, and I thought I’d ring ...
Happy Holidays, everyone! Hope you’re all spending time with loved ones and enjoying the season. I guess this is the last Abominable strip of 2011. I want to thank you all for coming back here ...
In Canada we call it Boxing Day (or ‘Boxing Week’ in recent years) but whatever you call it, you can use it as an excuse to get discounts on everything at the Abominable Store! Boo...
This week’s guest strip answers some important questions about Charles’ genetic roots. Or does it? Is that face human? Some things are better left unanswered. Tyson Hesse is a char...
This is unbelievable. I asked Dave Guertin and Greg Baldwin at Creaturebox if they’d be interested in doing an Abominable guest strip for me, assuming that they might have time for a small sket...
Kenji is 8 months old, so it’s time he started pulling his own weight. For this week’s strip I drew a colouring page for him and asked him to finish the image with some paints. “Jus...
The first of the Abominable Guest Strips is by the super-talented duo of Yuko Ota and Ananth Panagariya. You’ve probably seen their work in a number of places, including the collaborative Johnn...
