I made this as a standalone comic strip based on my earlier comic - When You're Evil that is on an indefinite hiatus until I decide whether I want to continue drawing webcomics or not (for now it's a no).

EDIT: The quality seems worse after uploading, if you have problem reading the text, check the alt text (I transcribed the whole thing)

What about the bone it choked on? Does that also come alive?

[โ€“] Ypsilenna@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 month ago

Good question. On one hand I would like to say no, because it wasn't a part of the dog originally, but on the other hand, with that bone still in its throat it would probably sound like a flute every time it opens its mouth, so now I am torn. They could rename the dog to Mr. TromBONE, and it would control the sounds it makes by moving the undead bone ๐Ÿ˜†

Reminds me of Tim Burton's Frankenweenie.

Oh, yeah, haha. I like the video. That was the vibe I was going for with this character ๐Ÿ˜‚

This was basically the plot of an early American Dad! episode.

Really? I've never seen that show.

You certainly should! The early episodes are very much a product of their time, so they've perhaps lost a bit of their appeal in the intervening time ... Or maybe not, I've not watched those seasons in a while.

However, the newer seasons are all excellent in my opinion.

The episode I originally referenced has the family lose a dog, then resurrect with results that horrify most of the characters. I think it might be in season one.
