My Comic About A Pet Dragon Is Making More Money Than His Owner—This Time (Part 3)

Tim and Bash have fallen on hard times, and Bash has his own way of making ends meet... It picks up from the last episode, ‘Dragon Division.’

Tim is a firefighter who has adopted a baby dragon called Bash, which keeps life interesting for everyone! Except, Bash is mostly interested in hoarding treasure and having his every whim attended to... Anyone with a cat will find this incredibly relatable.

Can Tim soften Bash’s heart so he can learn to feel affection for his owner?

Stay tuned for what happens in Episode 4!

Catch up on the previous episodes: Episode 1, Episode 2.

I, along with many others, it seems, feel that there is a synergy between cats and dragons, in that they appear to be independent, aloof, and care only for their own needs. I don't think this is entirely fair on cats... but still.

Tim and Bash’s relationship comes from trying to see the story through the characters’ point of view, and understanding their flaws/weaknesses/wants/desires. Tim sees only the best in Bash and always believes in him. Bash is interested in being a dragon. That’s enough for anyone to deal with.

So far in the series, I had the most fun drawing the postman in this story, as it was a little homage to a character called ‘Jesper’ whom I was one of the animators for on ‘Klaus,’ the 2019 hand-drawn feature film for Netflix.

In the next episode, Bash decides to demand more money from Tim in a very unexpected way!

After the 15-part story is finished, we are going to put this into a hardback book along with all the other Tim and Bash comics, plus a few special additional features, and launch it on Kickstarter.
