It all started as another wild comic concept. A cat and a dog and an unlikely bond with them.
Ben Hed, the artist, once told Bored Panda: “Pixie is a little kitty, happy and full of energy.” “She is innocent and somewhat ignorant of the serious and dangerous things around her as well.”
On the other hand, Brutus is a tall German shepherd with scars on his face. He was rescued as MWD by Pixie’s owner after retirement (MWD). Brutus is the complete opposite of Pixie, in several ways. He… has seen things. He is a very stern and intimidating military dog, but he has Pixie’s weak spot and does what he can to protect her from the harsh realities of the world around him.
Ben didn’t even plan on turning his adventures into a series, but his fans (and pretty much the entire internet) of him fell so in love with Pixie and Brutus that he thought it would be a sin not to.

There is no pandemic where Pixie and Brutus are living, as you can see from these strips. “In any of my comics, I’ve never really included current events,” Ben told Bored Panda. It’s not like it’s a deliberate option, it’s simply not going to happen to me naturally. Perhaps if my comics were all about human beings and less about dogs and cats, then it would be different.

While we’re on the subject, the coronavirus outbreak also didn’t really impact the artistic work of the artist. I draw comics alone in my own home in a dark space, so I’m pretty much quarantined all day already! “Said he. “In that regard, nothing really changed.”

If you were to open Ben’s Instagram account, you’d immediately notice that his work isn’t just about Pixie and Brutus: you’d also find fish going on dates, overconfident fitness trainers teaching people how to behave like tigers, and so much more. much more.
“It’s just something that occurs to me, really. Of course, the Pixie and Brutus comics aren’t the only comic concepts that come to mind. Sometimes I think of a joke or a story that doesn’t really suit P and B, so instead I have it use other recurring characters or even completely new characters,” Ben explained.
Fandom for Pixie and Brutus has grown rapidly (Ben currently has over 2.5 million followers on Instagram). Keeping up with the demand might put pressure on others, but instead, he had used it to push himself: “I was worried about the performance of each comic, but before I created Pixie and Brutus, I was worried about that, too.”

The artist told Bored Panda that creating this comic took far longer than absolutely any other he’s posted on Instagram so far. The reasons for this were the amount of work he put in
