I DIG DUG is an insanely hilarious comic created by the insanenly hilarious Douglas Weller. I DIG DUG first saw print in "Tne Lantern", The Ohio State University daily newspaper, from 1999-2001. IDD also saw print in "The Hometown Connection", Marysville, Ohio's weekly newspaper from 2006-2009. Currently, IDD is on hiatus while I concentrate on "Lost on Earth" which I'm designing as a web-comic. Syndication, action figures, cartoons, and a live action movie deal can't be too far behind.

"Thermostat"
So, I had finally decided to sit down and do the remaining 2008 comics all in one sitting. And...well...I didn't do too bad. I sketched out four comics, and felt pretty good about it. I inked this guy for the November 21st paper, and felt so 'caught up' that I didn't ink the other three. Something that I just finished tonight!!! Yeah...that's me...captain procrastinator!!!
Anyhoo...this is inspired by the old Fox Trot comics where the Fox kids compain and complain about the mother keeping the thermostat at a frigid temperature. I love Fox Trot, and so I used that theme for this comic. However...it's not without it's own degree of reality. Carrie tries to keep the thermostat low as to not over heat the house...and boy does it get FRIGID in here at times. Of course, it doesn't help that our bedroom is right about the freezing garage, but I digress. So, that's the story of where this comes from. I'm constantly complaining about being cold, and Carrie just keeps telling me to wear more layers. Hmmmm....that could be another comic ready to unfold from the 'ol fingers. Hmmm....
Slowly catching up, eh??? About three more to go, and we'll be current!
