#crabgrass

So THIS strip began with me pondering how to parody the classic, 80s G.I.Joe PSAs. I knew that I needed KIDS to "teach the lesson" to, and I immediately thought of Miles and Kevin from Tauhid Bondia's amazing comic, CRABGRASS!!! I dropped Tauhid a line and pitched my weird idea, we talked out some specifics, and he very graciously let me play with his amazing toys! Now, this is in COLOR, so that I could do my level best to make it look like it's a 1980s, cel animated cartoon. It was a lot of extra work, but I'm really happy with how it looks! Hope you agree!

crabgrass is the greatest syndicated cartoon strip of our current age

Crabgrass is a fast-spreading weed that can quickly take over lawns, making them look patchy and unhealthy. This invasive plant thrives in hot, dry conditions and competes with grass for nutrients, water, and sunlight. If left unchecked, crabgrass can weaken your lawn and create bare spots that invite more weeds. In this blog, we’ll explore what crabgrass is, how to identify it, and why homeowners should take action to prevent its spread. 

Edit: Forgot to mention lmao, The comic books are called 'Crabgrass' !!💙

I love Crabgrass so much! I follow the comic as it's posted online, and I have grown incredibly fond of Miles' and Kevin's adventures. Normally, I'm not a major comic person, but there is something so refreshing about the innocent childhood goofiness this comic offers. Both boys seem like they should be so different: Miles as the straight A good kid only child and Kevin as the troublemaker one of four from a financially struggling family. However, they click so wonderfully, and I really appreciate how Tauhid Bondia both allows them to have plenty of shenanigans while also tackling important issues in between (that camping arc ending!!). While there are some longer arcs, I appreciate the collection of the one-off moments that both follow the previous set-ups and also build the world out. It's just so enjoyable! If you need a light-hearted brain break with some endearing characters, definitely check out Crabgrass!
