I admit I have been lax in reading comics online. I'm trying to wean myself off of so much mobile-phone time!! I so miss the days when our household got the paper every day and my Dad would be at the table reading it and doing the crossword puzzle and asking for help with answers, and the Sunday paper would be all over the table, and I'd read the comics and the leisure section and the opinions....Today everything is the phone and there is so much stuff competing with comics!
If FurBabies and other comics have suffered from the changes to GoComics, then the changes were not good.
FurBabies deserves to be in print and it is unfortunate that things are the way they are. A book collection would be so good! Perhaps that way, the strip could get attention from the mainstream. We remember the impact Calvin and Hobbes had. Everyone was talking about it.
I have FurBabies as a shortcut on my device and I will try to read it every day!
Hi Nancy.
I didn't realize you were on SubStack. I'm a FurBabies follower on Go Comics as member ZoomerAndYeti.
I had this blog before I started drawing comics...you may enjoy the earlier ones about animation. Thank you for signing up!
Repetitions? Excellent! Time to go down memory lane and to re-visit oldies but goodies. Go on and enjoy your rest.
It's not a rest. I have to slow down.
Slowly but surely, madame. No burnout, please. Your fur babies may never forgive you (and Potato may eat all your plants).

Thank you so much. My main ambition for FurBabies is to see it in a Sunday color comics section. I can dream.
I would miss you if you left. You are a wonderful artist and storyteller. I'm glad you are staying around.
I joined Substack today with my own page for my books and writing - Giblet & Belle Mysteries. Perhaps I can encourage you to join my page?
P.S.. I want a Sirus and Floof, plushy, when they come out.
Thank you, Nancy. You're the best ❤️
I am looking forward to Furbabies cuteness. Kate is a good little girl taking care of her pups. I hope she can resolve her robot problem soon.

Don't be too sure about that...she deals with this one, but there will be more. AI will not go away.
Thanks for keeping it going. Take care of yourself! I'm happy with random re-runs as well.
I'll keep doing it as long as I can. The alternate day update makes it easier for me to keep the quality up and not 'pad' stories.
