Angela drew this comic over the course of a month. She used sumi ink with Hunt 102 nib pen.
Corgis
The most important character in this story is, as you can guess by the title, Herbert the corgi. Abe and Angela have corgis of their own, but both were still fairly young at the time Herbertwas drawn and Herbert is very old.
Rose
The next most important character in the story is Rose. She and Herbert are pretty good buds. Those bangs are totally based on the ones Angela had in grade school. Huge, thick, cut straight across.
Parents and home
For some reason, Angela was so confident with the mother design, she didn't ink any. The hair, by the way, is a bit based on Angela's mother's hair.
