Pixie and Brutus (previously here, here and here) are some of those comics characters you wish you could meet in real life. And even though you can’t actually pet these adorable four-legged critters, illustrator Ben Hed keeps delivering strips that can surely satisfy everyone’s thirst for cuteness. The duo has earned Ben over 1 million Instagram followers, keeping him as busy as ever.
Ben, however, isn’t intimidated by his huge fanbase. “My creative process isn’t any different now than it was back when I had 25k followers,” he told Bored Panda. “I have been able to transition to illustration as my full-time job, and it’s all thanks to those guys and their overwhelming support for my comics. I know it sounds cliche, but I can’t thank them enough.”
“Pixie is a tiny, joyful, energetic kitten,” the artist said. “She’s innocent, and also somewhat oblivious to the serious, dangerous stuff around her.” On the other hand, Brutus is a large, scar-faced German Shepherd. “He was adopted by Pixie’s owner after retiring as a Military Working Dog (MWD). Brutus, in many ways, is the exact opposite of Pixie. He’s… Seen things. He’s a very serious and intimidating military dog, but he has a soft spot for Pixie, and does what he can to protect her from the harsh realities of the world around them.” Continue scrolling to check out their latest adventures!

FANTASTIC. My spirits lifted so high when I saw Pixie and Brutus were back! Pixie's little face when she discovers the claws on her fuzzy little paws! Made my day.

Adorable, the one where Pixie's mind is blown when she discovers she has claws is fantastic. The first one with Brutus' response to where he found the feather made me laugh.

As always, I love seeing Pixie and Brutus! Is it just me, or do other people hear their voices in their heads?! I wish there were more Pixie and Brutus!

Not feeling the raptor getting attacked by a domestic dog. ( know it's all imaginary...I just hate seeing raptors having trouble. They have enough as it is) :)

I don't know how I had no idea that Pixie is a kitten! For some reason I've always thought she was a tiny little puppy.

Also. 1M followers?!? Sorry but I can't even think how that's possible. Are humans that unreasonable now?

So cute but not really how it works. Like at all. I don't even think this artist ever owned a pet. But cute

Um - how do artists create Superheroes? not like they ever owned a Spiderman.
