After Buddy and Romeo’s newspaper comic strip ended daily publication, every so often, I sketched out an idea for a comic strip in the sketchbook. This happened only three or four times and mainly served the purpose of keeping the characters alive on Instagram as we transitioned that account as being exclusively dedicated to Buddy and Romeo to its current iteration (largely promoting our magazine cartoons and greeting card line Coffee Lovers’ Christmas).

Here is the last of those sketchbook comics, from August 22, 2021:
