Zorphbert and Fred - Dawn Griffin

1-inch pin-back button (3-pack) from Dawn Griffin

Zorphbert and Fred is a comic strip series by Dawn Griffin about two aliens who come to Earth disguised as dogs to study human life. A young couple adopts them, and they settle into typical suburban life as domesticated dogs. Toss in a bossy manager in a squirrel suit, the neighborhood “weird kid”, and an alien diva neighbor cat, and antics ensue. Taking much inspiration from the TV shows “Third Rock From the Sun” & “Invader Zim”, and comics like “Get Fuzzy” & “Calvin & Hobbes”, Z&F is sci-fi without the overdose of geekery, and social commentary without being preachy. It may also make you laugh. We humans are pretty weird… we just needed an alien to point that out – direct from Dawn Griffin’s website
