For every comic I publish on this site, there are a handful which don’t make the cut because they are not funny or too weird, too depressing or are just a poop joke. I have provided a few of my rejected rough sketches on this page for your enjoyment or bafflement. Follow me down the unfiltered rabbit hole of my brain…
In case you can’t tell what it is, it’s a stork digging up a grave and then presenting a zombie baby to expecting zombie parents. I think it’s funny. But dead babies don’t generally show up on the comics page. Alternatively I was going to draw the stork presenting the zombie parents with a live, normal baby. The zombie parents, slightly disgusted, would then bite the baby and it would become a zombie baby which they would hug. Again, killing babies might be a little much for some.
Despite dying, I like Buni achieving the perfect costume. Also in the first panels he is stumbling around because he can’t see well out of his eye holes and that’s why he’s hit by a car. He wasn’t trying to be hit by a car. Originally I wanted him to win a costume contest award for best costume and be very happy, though he’s actually dead, and the other contestants are horrified.
I like BuniDog to be a badass, but a subtle badass. This comic is a little too overt and easy. And I wasn’t sure if people would get that he had baked a pumpkin pie. It’s an American thing and I wasn’t sure if I’d lose the international readers.
This is essentially a fart joke. The ghost coming out of his butt would be a translucent pale green. It would be epic in color, but it’s still a fart joke.

When are you going to release of book of your Buni toons? Really want one for my bookshelf.
I’m looking for a publisher. I too would like to have a Buni book.
These are funny albeit a little dark. I love your comics. They are different than most I read, and a real nice change of pace. Happy Halloween! And good luck with finding the right publisher!
I don’t think the pumpkin pie toon is too subtle for intelligent international readers, at all. We have movies and TV in Europe, and we know about pumpkin pie.
realy nice !!
The pumpkin pie idea is awesome.
