The artist behind the funny and totally adorable BFGFS comic series uses everyday life with her husband and dog as inspiration for her work.
โThey are based on real life with some exaggerations,โ Pat, who prefers to use only her first name, said of the comics. โPart of it is about capturing little moments that I love and more importantly, itโs about making light fun of my husband in the form of a comic.โ
Pat lives in Brooklyn, New York with her husband Ray and her Shih Tzu-Westie mix named Fifi. She started the series in June 2015 with help from Ray, who wears many hats including editor, IT support and occasionally, idea generator.
Pat described their relationship dynamic to HuffPost as โbesties and teammates.โ
โWe like spending time together doing stuff and also doing nothing,โ she said.
โWeโve been together since high school! Itโs kind of gross. Itโs been over a decade now,โ she added.
As for Fifi, sheโs a โvery good dogโ with quite the personality.
โSheโs pretty well-trained, very curious, and kind of passive aggressive,โ Pat told HuffPost. โShe tends to warm up to people only after making their acquaintance a few times and she likes trying to roughhouse with the big dogs. And sheโs really good at begging for food.โ
