    Cardboard Colin have a wolfbeard… so it is natural he will talk about wigs with his son! And I think he would be REALLY proud if Colin had a wig made of a lion’s mane…

    Cardboard Carl gives new meaning to my life. I now want to wrestle with a wolf and wear it on my head. I think that is an acceptable ambition.

    If Carl is that tall, then does that mean Colin will still grow?

    I absolutely love the perspective displayed in the last panel! Usually, everything takes place in the foreground, so having the three of them “standing” in the distance is kinda neat. :D

    Yeah support the LGBTs! This is the best comic EVER! Not only is it so well made, it doesn’t put down the cross-dressers. They’re people too. :)

    i noticed today, that in all these strips featuring Cardboard Carl, an intense theme song plays subconsciously in my head.
    if you ever decide to animate him, he would need some epic background music.

      It looks to me like it’s just a piece of a bigger bandaid that’s been cut out and had a rectangle drawn on it. As someone who has tried to make tiny bandaids by cutting up normal sized ones before, I must say that I’m impressed. Those little strips of bandaid are finicky!

    I think Carl may be more upset that Colin didn’t go wig shopping with him than the fact that Colin dresses in female clothing… Maybe because it takes a real man to do that?

    Classic father-son bonding. I do that with my dad all the time! But, I think then it would be called father-daughter bonding. We go shooting all the time!

    But just so we’re clear, we shoot TARGETS, not animals, I would never even want to witness a complete stranger kill an animal. >.<
