so the latest comic from @softboy-pillowman has had me Full of Worry, but also made me want to draw dirk in his chief weasel costume.  and so I did.  that’s fashion right there!

Thank you so much for this wonderful art! Like always, it’s beautifully detailed, and I’m so touched that you made it. And you’re totally right. Dirk may not be one for fashion, but he certainly let himself get all dressed up for this role.

(and you might’ve made me realize that I forgot to give him the Chief Weasel’s fingerless gloves. At least he’s got them in your art!)

Welcome back, everybody. We’re back from our two month hiatus, and a new year means new adventures for the residents of Chrisville!

The Chrisville Theater Society has just started dress rehearsals for their production of the musical The Wind in the Willows, and it looks like Dirk is actually excited to participate for once. … but will that be a good thing?

The musical
The Wind in the Willows is indeed a real show, and the Chrisville Theater Society’s costumes are based on those of the 2017 London Palladium production. You can rent the musical here. (I am not sponsored by the musical in any way, I just thought promoting it was the least I could do after referencing so much of this production.)

It’s taken me a while to finish, but here are the designs for Softboy Pillowman and Leo Lion, who will be starring in a future WITW animatic that I am collaborating on with @thescarletpaperback. Characters/designs/all the wonderful ideas belong to him and if you want to see more of his characters, please take a look at @softboy-pillowman!

This turned out beautifully! You always draw such wonderful artwork of this blog’s characters. :3

Happy New Year, everybody! Whether your year was disastrous, or only partly a nightmare with some good bits mixed in, I think we can all agree that a break from 2020 is long overdue.

This blog also needs a break. While I’ve had a lovely time making weekly comics since Leap Day, that took up quite a lot of my free time and energy. That’s why The Antics of Softboy Pillowman will be taking a two-month hiatus. I’ll still be working on Softboy stuff in the meantime, but it will be plans for an actual Softboy picture book or two. (And hopefully, at least one short story that’s unrelated to Softboy Pillowman)

Thank you for following my silly little toys’ adventures. I’ll see you all again in March!

There may be tension among the cast, but the show must go on! Now the Chrisville Theater Society can finally start rehearsals for their production of The Wind in the Willows. But can Dirk keep his antagonistic tendencies in his acting? And what made Softboy so distressed in panel 13? Only time will tell…

Fun fact: In panel 6, Dirk is referencing how, near the climax of the Wind in the Willows musical, the Chief Weasel gets in a fight with Toad and lands quite a few hits on him.

Also, when Softboy says he doesn’t have a brain, he’s not being self-deprecating. He’s just stating that he literally doesn’t have a brain.

This took me forever to finish and I’ve been working on it nonstop for a few weeks now. I wanted this done for his birthday, but looks like I made it in time for Christmas. I drew all of @thescarletpaperback ‘s OCs…or at least the ones with a visual reference.

I just want him to know how wonderful his stories and characters are and how much they make my heart happy. You inspire me daily and I hope you never quit creating beautiful, wonderful worlds.

So many Softboy characters! Thanks again for this absolutely beautiful artwork. I’m always so grateful to have your love and support.
