This is a little Flash animation I did years ago and I thought it fit in well with this Boids strip. Enjoy!

Well the Stanley Cup (hockey) playoffs are over and the Anaheim Ducks beat the Ottawa Senators, much to the disappointment of my son and the entire nation of Canada. So here is a cartoon for you, my Canadian friends:
No, I don’t have my hand out asking for spare change! I’m just asking you to spread the Boid - er… word! Share The Boids on message boards, through chat or email with your friends, however works for you. The more folks that come by, the more we can offer back to you! You’ll notice [...]
Our front porch is loaded with a multitude of potted plants of all kinds. The other morning, we had our front door open (with the full-glass storm door closed) and I kept hearing all kinds of chatter out there. When I investigated, I saw a pair of Carolina wrens hopping from pot to pot. My [...]
A HUGE thanks goes out to Matt for sending in the modified plans for a winded paper Boid! Here’s a photo of his version and below that, I link to download the pdf. Thanks again, Matt!

I mentioned a couple weeks ago about the wrens taking up home on my front porch. It turns out the biggest baby was actually a cowbird. It turned into Baby Birdzilla and left the nest - ’cause it didn’t fit in there anymore. The two wren babies were doing fine for a couple days, then [...]
A blast from the past - a Flash-based webcomic Steve and I worked on way back when. Will we ever finish the story line? I dunno… maybe we could be persuaded.

I thought some of you might be interested in a project I just started. It’s a concerted effort on my part to increase my drawing skills. The best way to do that is to draw more, so I launched Draw Each Day!where I can experiment, doodle and just have some fun sketching. Feel free to [...]
I recently found this nifty webcomic - Pinkerton Park by Mike Witmer. It’s new 5 days a week (Mon - Fri), has some great characters and it’s always good for a laugh. Check it out if you appreciate well-done comics! Oh, and it has a character named Steve, who’s pretty much a doofus, just like [...]
I finally made the time to color the first 8 Boids strips. Revisit them when you get a chance, starting with Number One!
Back in the day when Larry and I tried our collective hands at dead-tree comics we met and befriended a young, unspoiled soul named Steve Conley. He went on to become a big wheel in both the Baltimore Comicon and the Small Press Expo. He continues to work in comics and has a new webcomic [...]
Don’t forget you all, the deadline for Boids Mashups is December 31. So once the hullaballoo of the Christmas Crazy Time dies down get cracking on those cartoon mashups. We have several in the hopper and I can say that Larry and I are very pleased at the creativity, intelligence, and attractiveness of our readers.
December 21 is the first day of Winter, so here’s a cold color scheme to set the mood…
We didn’t get a whole lot of response, but the ones we received were great! Thanks so much to those of you who played along. Maybe the NEXT contest won’t be around the busiest holiday season! Here are the other entries (click images to see full-size):
Okay, so I am a week or two late, but Spring has arrived here at The Boids! website. No more cold blue - just the bright greens of new growth. I got inspired while working in the yard this weekend. There was so much green it almost hurt to look at it in the bright [...]
