We have featured Minnesota illustrator Ben Hed’s work before here on Bored Panda, laughing along with his imaginings of animals flirting like humans, and featuring his wildly popular comic creations Pixie and Brutus. His Pet Foolery Instagram page, featuring “goofy little comics” that feature various types of animals, has really taken off, with the success of Pixie and Brutus in particular pushing him close to 1 million followers.
The contrast between Pixie, a sweet, naive kitten who Ben describes as “joyful and energetic,” and gruff, cynical former military dog Brutus is the secret to the pair’s popularity. They have all kinds of adventures, with Pixie’s enthusiastic bumblings bringing despair to the serious and sometimes grumpy Brutus. He has a real soft spot for her though, and will do anything to protect her! “Honestly, Pixie and Brutus were just another random comic idea I had while at work,” Ben told us. “I was never planning on making them a series, I just thought it would be a funny idea to introduce a cute little kitten to a big intimidating war dog. So I made the first Pixie and Brutus comic, and people liked it so much I just kept making them.”
And he is still making them today! Scroll down to see the latest batch of this adorable series, and let us know what you think in the comments!

These are some of the best comics on the internet. Upbeat, funny, cute, compassionate and speaks to our society.

Not just the internet! It's one of the greatest comic "strips" of all time. These could easily be ranked with the classics (Family Circus, Peanuts, Far Side) EDIT: How dare I not include Hagar the Horriable and Calvin and Hobbes. Forgive me Malissa and danielw!

Aww, now I want comics in which Lola and Mr. Wrinkles realize that Brutus isn't that bad and all four team up, go on adventures and become friends

Yay, a second part! These comics series would eventually become one of the best in their category ever created! I'm sure of it!

Am I the only one who wish there were real Brutus and Pixie? They both are so cute. I started to imagine about manga version of them.

There is a manga dog similar to Brutus, he's called Victor. Though a bit more brutal. Victor6_zp...bbe29c.jpg

Lola and Mr. Wrinkles have their own series and they are just as adorable and funny as Pixie and Brutus. Also--the first comic where Pixie is watching "A Nightmare on Elmstreet" is absolutely hilarious. Poor Brutus went all "THERE IS NO WAY YOU ARE WATCHING THIS!" on Pixie.

So disappointed with this edition, its too short. NOT NEARLY ENOUGH. NEEEEED MORE PIXIE AND BRUTUS. Please. Pretty please.

While the comics are really cute, the artist is sadly pretty much a Nazi (his twitter feed alone tells you all about his views). Hope boredpanda background checks a bit more in the future.

I enjoy seeing Pixie and Brutus. Please don't change the "tone" of these characters; they're just right!
