This era of upheaval fired up the world’s artists, particularly the comic book writers, who found the inspiration to create eternal icons like Captain America, Wonder Woman, and Superman. Today we are also at a crossroads. Society is woke , but the wokeness has created a divide. Whatever side you sit on, most everyone agrees: dogs brighten the day with their humor, honor and innocence. That is what inspired Meet My Friends. It’s a silly comic strip I post every Monday on my instagram account where BeaR ,and sometimes Woofie, reach out to their friends for help and advise. BeaR’s Holly-Go-Lightly personality leaves him with many questions about love, life and the pursuit of happiness. Woofie, being more of an intellect, mostly sits back and watches, offering pearls of wisdom when called for. And our friends, the dogs of instagram, breach the divide––––the most powerful superpower of all–––– through their simple and honest charm and delight.
