COMIC TITLE: “The Hodgepodge Dog Lodge”
Logline: With no humans around, these dogs have to learn a new trick: RUNNING A KENNEL.

PANEL 1: PANCAKES, a fawn great dane, stands in the doorway, shouting. DIGBY, a brown dachshund, looks up at him.
PANCAKES: Come quick, every buddy! Our food bowls are BROKEN!
DIGBY: Broken?

PANEL 2: PANCAKES looks down at a metal dog bowl. MR. BOOPERS, a brown fluffy chow-chow, stands next to him also looking at the bowl.
PANCAKES: There were crunchies in them, but now there are NO curnchies.
MR BOOPERS: But we ate those old crunchies! That’s how we get the new crunchies to appear!

PANEL 3: MR BOOPERS looks up, eyes wide, in horror. DIGBY sniffs the bowl, while PANCAKES stands over him. They all look scared.
MR BOOPERS: We…we did our part! We ate the crunchies!
DIGBY I will keep staring at the bowl, in case crunchies appear.
PANCAKES: I feel like I don’t understand the CAUSALITY of crunchy appearances.

PANEL 1: OSO, the fawn pug, faces the bouncy white pomeranian, DIGBY, the brown dashchund, and the fluffy brown chow-chow.
OSO: If we stuck here without our people, we need to build a new society. A DOGTOPIA.

PANEL 2: Close up on OSO.
OSO: A world where all dogs is good dogs. Even if they chewed the thing.

PANEL 3: The fawn great dane and a black scuffy dog with a pink bow in it’s hair look on as OSO continues.
OSO: A world where no dog gets left behind (on walks). A world where dogs’ potential is UNLEAHSED (because we’re not on leashes.)

PANEL 4: OSO continues his enthusiastic speech, while DIGBY responds in the background.
OSO: A world where we don’t chase happiness… happiness chases us.
DIGBY: We’ll also need a minister for squirrel affiars.

PANEL 1: OSO, the fawn pug, stands talking to DIGBY, the brown dashchund. The white pomeranian is bouncing above DIGBY, and the fawn great dane towers above them all.
OSO: WE CAN DO THIS, GANG> We can take care of ourselves.

PANEL 2: OSO turns to talk to the white with black spots pitbull, and large brown fluffy chow-chow.
OSO: If we hear a noise, we bark once. Not a panic bark. Just a bark to let the noise know WE can make a noise, too.

PANEL 3: The pitull pipes up, worried. OSO responds.
PITBULL: And if the noise continues…?
OSO: We bark again. Twelve times. Or potentially nintey-eight. We read the room.

PANEL 4: The white pomeranian bounces with another question, OSO cringes at the thought.
POMERANIAN: And if the noise gets scary??
OSO: WE GO TO A DIFFERENT ROOM. That’s just science. It’s how I handle the trash truck!

OSO: But without our people…how will we know what to do?
GUMDROP: I mostly been napping.

OSO: I serious, Gumdrop! I don’t know nuthing! How to open my metal food circles? How to make the wall open at the front of the house?

OSO: Without my people…I DON’T EVEN KNOW IF I’M A GOOD BOY??

COMIC TITLE: “The Hodgepodge Dog Lodge”
Logline: With no humans around, these dogs have to learn a new trick: RUNNING A KENNEL.

PANEL 1: DIGBY, the brown long-haired dashchund, runs towards OSO, the fawn pug.
DIGBY: Oso! You’re here!
OSO: Digby! …is this YOUR house?

PANEL 2: In the background, the pomeranian rides on the head of the white-and-black spotted bulldog, legs out like he’s performing. In the foreground is DIGBY’s face, excited.
DIGBY: No silly. Thissa dog hotel, not my house.

PANEL 3: DIGBY stands thinking, while OSO responds next to him.
DIGBY: I know it’s not my house, because there’s no loud snake that eats my floor fur while screaming.
OSO: My house has that snake!

PANEL 4: DIGBY looks over his shoulder at OSO.
DIGBY: Or the cold treasure box of num-nums that are never shared.
OSO: “The box of betrayal,” yes!

PANEL 5: DIGBY, more intense, faces OSO, very intense.
DIGBY: Or the magic metal cabinet that licks plates clean.
OSO: EVEN THO’ I HAVE OFFERED TO LICK ALL THE PLATES CLEAN

COMIC TITLE: “The Hodgepodge Dog Lodge”
Logline: With no humans around, these dogs have to learn a new trick: RUNNING A KENNEL.

PANEL 1: A small, white, fluffy pomeranian jumps mid-air, next to a large rich-brown extra-fluffy chow-chow dog.
POMERANIAN: You did it, Gumdrop! You fooled the human!
CHOW CHOW: He never suspected that our person is gone!

PANEL 2: OSO, the fawn pug, looks surprised while the white-and-black spotted bulldog speaks. Over his head, the tall fawn great dane pokes in.
OSO: Your person is GONE?
BULLDOG: Yep. This morning he was sitting on the big porcelain water bowl
GREAT DANE: —The one I’m not allowed to drink from —
BULLDOG: Then suddenly ran off.

PANEL 3: The chow-chow pokes in, in front of the great dane. A scruffy black dog stares, unspeaking, while the pomeranian, again mid-air, pipes up.
CHOW CHOW: We think it was the glowing rectangle that lives in his hand.
POMERANIAN: Cause he looked at it, yelled “IT’S HAPPENING!” then ran off.

PANEL 4: A grey french bulldog looks wary, next to a concerned large English bulldog.
FRENCHIE: So we’ve been living off the big bag of food that magically refills in the closet.
ENGLISH BULLDOG: But oddly… IT HASN’T BEEN REFILLING.

Logline: With no humans around, these dogs have to learn a new trick: RUNNING A KENNEL.

PANEL 1: GRAMP, an older bald man with a grey mustache, holds OSO, the fawn pug, at a reception desk at a dog kennel. He holds a piece of paper toward the reception window. Behind the window sits the receptionist in an orange ball cap, worn low on their face, only the mouth showing.
GRAMP: Hello. I’m dropping off my pug, Oso. Here’s the paperwork.
RECEPTIONIST: GOOD BOY.

PANEL 2: GRAMP sets OSO down as he continues talking to the receptionist.
GRAMP: Ha ha ha, yep! He’s a good boy. Do you need anything else from me?
RECEPTIONIST: NO. GO WALKIES.

PANEL 3: As GRAMP exits the building, holding the glass door open, waving as he talks over this shoulder.
GRAMP: Ha ha ha. I’m loving the dog jokes. Ok then! See you in a week!

PANEL 4: From the other side of the receptionist glass, we see a GREAT DANE poke his head over the computer monitor, while a white and brown spotted BULLDOG shakes the orange ballcap off his head. We see the silhouette of GRAMP exiting the building behind them.
GREAT DANE: …did it work?
BULLDOG: I used the only human words i know!
