NEW COMIC! Comictober Comictober is tomorrow and Dani & Lulu are very excited. My posting schedule maybe modified based on the prompt list, but there will be a comic, new or old, posted on my usual posting days. #daniandlulucomic #webcomic #comics #halloween #comictober
Panel 1
Dani says, “Halloween is thirty days away and every empty store is now a “Scare‑o‑ween.” Lulu replies, “Clearly Fall is here.”

Panel 2
Dani asks, “So, superhero? Horror?” as she holds two costume packages. Lulu answers, “Based on the world news I’m not keen on either.”

Panel 3
Dani says, “Well, I’m at a loss.” and proceeds to put the costumes back. Lulu excitedly calls out, “Dani! Dani! Dani!”

Panel 4
Lulu and Dani stand below a sign in the costume section that says “Web Comics” hold hands looking at each other and let out a “Squeeee!”

I love Peter’s 4 panel slice of life comics- the art is appealing, the situations are relatable, and sometimes we see Mel. Oh! Hi Mel!

New Comic! A Memory A chance encounter with a small creature brings back nice memories for Lulu. I’ve been wanting to explore more of Lulu’s culture and planet. I’ll be dipping more into that in the future. #daniandlulucomic #webcomic #comics #mom #memories
Panel 1
A small shelled crab like creature sits on the sand beside an empty seashell.

Panel 2
Lulu kneels on the beach looking at the creature and asks, “Dani, what is this?”

Panel 3
Dani says, “Oh! A hermit crab.”
Lulu, holding the hermit crab, asks, “Do they get bigger than this?”
Dani replies, “I don’t think so. Why?”

Panel 4
On Lulu’s home planet, a younger Lulu’s mom presents Lulu with the crab like creature’s empty shell as a hat. The crab like creature sits in a cooking pot in what appears to be a kitchen. A strange alien clock hangs on the wall with various tools. Lulu’s mom wears a similar style shell hat.

Throwback Comic Dodgy Situation I was never great at coordinated team sports like kickball in elementary school. I was excelled at dodge ball though- the dodging part, not so much the throwing part. #daniandlulucomic #webcomic #comics #kickball #dodgeball
Panel 1
Lulu reacts with surprise, shown by a question mark and exclamation mark above her head.

Panel 2
A red kickball flies toward Lulu at high speed in a split panel showing the incoming ball from her perspective and a split second before impact.

Panel 3
The kickball hits Lulu in the mouth and knocks her to the ground.

Panel 4
Lulu sits dazed on the ground with stars around her head while Dani kneels beside her. Lulu says, “I think I’ve had enough physical education. That kickball kicked my butt.”

NEW COMIC! Enter the Lanternfly *edit- I messed up and reposted. Monologuing is the Achilles heal of many super villains. Laternflies are invading North Carolina which inspired this comic. A colleague found and dispatched one a couple of weeks ago so I had to immortalize it. #daniandlulucomic
Panel 1
A spotted lanternfly stands on a flat surface and says, “Behold the fluttering doom. I am the herald of ruin, the spotted nightmare perched upon your precious trees. You call me invasive, a pest, a blight. I am conquest with wings!”

Panel 2
The lanternfly raises its forelegs while continuing, “I drain the sweetness of your world and leave only rot behind. My brood spreads while you exist in smug complacency of your assumed human superiority.”

Panel 3
The lanternfly continues, “While you sleep we feast. When your orchards fall silent you’ll feel the sting of the mighty lanternfly!” The lanternfly screams, “Aaiieeee!!” as the shadow of a three toed foot is cast over it.

Panel 4
Dani and Lulu are seen from the lanternfly’s perspective. Dani asks, “Was it monologuing?” as a squish is heard.

I love it when Jon asks me to create a guest comic for Bubble Fox. I always jump at the chance and it often comes down to the wire. I drew inspiration for this from 1950s sci-fi movies. The weapons in particular are from one of my favorite movies. Can you tell me which one? Tell me in a reply. 😀

NEW COMIC! Mind Games Lulu is joking, right? #daniandlulucomic #webcomic #comics #mind #psychic
Panel 1
Dani reads from her tablet which is showing terrible things happening around the world and asks, “Why can’t you use your mental abilities to get people to stop fighting?” Lulu reads her book and answers, “Too many people, too far away.”

Panel 2
Dani asks, “How does it work on your own people?” Lulu casually flips a page and replies, “It only works on lower life forms.” Dani says, “Oh.”

Panel 3
Dani and Lulu sit quietly, each reading.

Panel 4
Dani looks up from her tablet and says, “Wait… what?!”

Throwback Comic Home Improvement Little known fact- I took drafting in the 3rd grade. Iwakuni Marine Corps Airstation, Japan. The school was k-12 and there were only maybe a dozen high schoolers, so the shop teacher had an elementary curriculum. #daniandlulucomic
Panel 1
Lulu stands in a flat blueprint. She says, “What a strange place. I exist on a two dimensional plane. There is no concept of up or down here.”

Panel 2
Lulu continues, “My form cannot pass through this door and I need to pee!”

Panel 3
A blueprint floor plan shows labeled rooms. Lulu stands in bedroom 1 and says, “There must be a solution!”

Panel 4
In the real world, the wood shop teacher holds Lulus floor plan drawing and says, “Toilets everywhere and no interior walls. This is quite the open floor plan.”

Lulu, disguised as a human, replies, “Thanks. I wanted the house to promote efficiency and togetherness.”

NEW COMIC! Fear Response What is it about tentacles and humans? #daniandlulucomic #webcomic #comics #fear #tentacles
Panel 1: title card
Lulu walks away smiling and dusting her hands together while a giant purple tentacle lifts a defeated villain behind her. The title “Dani & Lulu by Mike Swaim” appears above.

Panel 2
Dani asks, “Why do people see tentacles grabbing them when you defend yourself?” Lulu cups her mouth‑tentacles with both hands as she replies, “Well, when I’m in their heads they see the real me, I guess they think these things are tentacles.”

Panel 3
Lulu continues speaking while an illustration shows a ship being attacked by a giant tentacled monster. A separate image, a Cthulhu inspired monster appears in the bottom right. She says, “Beyond that, humans seem to have a visceral fear of tentacles. Maybe horror fiction or a cephalopod phobia? It scares them.”

Panel 4
Dani asks, “And, what if they like tentacles?” Lulu replies, “Then that scares me.”

NEW COMIC! Footloose I didn’t want to worry anyone. Not until the fourth panel at least. #daniandlulucomic
Panel 1
Dani and Lulu stand in a forest clearing surrounded by small mushroom houses. Lulu prys a Smorp from the bottom of her foot. The Smorp pops off and screams “AAAaah!!” as it begins running away.

Panel 2
Dani and Lulu look towards a voice from off panel as they wave to the panicking Smorp, “Now Asramel, where are those delicious Smorps we heard?”

Panel 3
Asramel appears from behind a bush with a brown cat, holding a fork and knife, and says, “Well now, no Smorps, but these children will do nicely!” Dani shouts, “GARGELSMELL!!”

Panel 4
Dani and Lulu run through the forest while Gargelsmell and Asramel chase after them. Lulu yells to Dani, “THIS WAS A CHILDREN’S SHOW?!”

Throwback Comic Needed Improvement Lulu has a nice chat with the Principal. #daniandlulucomic #webcomic #comics #school #principal
Panel 1
Dani and Lulu walk in a school hallway. Dani says, “So?” Lulu replies, “What?”

Panel 2
Dani speaks rapidly, leaning forward slightly. She says, “You were just in the principal’s office on your first day! What happened? Were you punished? How? Will it be on your permanent record?!”

Panel 3
Lulu responds calmly, saying, “Oh that. Pssh… We just discussed my future and how I can improve. It wasn’t even a worry.”

Panel 4
Inside the principal’s office, Lulu sits over the principals shoulder in her actual form. She says, “I think perfect grades would be a nice improvement.” The principal, in a trance and seated at a laptop, smiles and replies, “Great idea!” as he types away.

NEW COMIC! Tra la la la la A touch of nostalgia over an old TV show. How do they hold up? #daniandlulucomic #webcomic #comics #smurfs #cartoons
Panel 1
Dani stands at the edge of a forest clearing. With her hands clasped together under her chin, smiling with excitement with Dani says “Oh Lulu! This is the Smorps village from the cartoon!”

Lulu stands with Dani and says, “I watched a few episodes to get the gist.” 

Wandering Smorps mill about Mushroom‑shaped houses

Panel 2
Dani steps forward to greet the Smorps, “Hi Smorps… hey where are you going?” As the Smorps immediately panic and scatter, running toward their homes and forest. One slams a mushroom‑house door shut with a loud “SLAM.” Another reaches through a window to close their shades.

Panel 3
The village is now empty. Dani looks around, puzzled, while Lulu looks uncomfortable.
Dani comments, “They must be scared of us. I wonder where they went.”

Panel 4
Lulu has one foot lifted and is scraping the bottom of her foot with a stick saying, “I found one.” Dani grimaces.

NEW COMIC! Good Works Every person leaves a legacy when they die, it’s the kind of legacy that’s important. Preferably a legacy that left society better off. Even if you don’t have the financial reach of Dolly Parton small things can make a big impact on individuals. #daniandlulucomic #webcomic
Panel 1
Dani is upside down on the couch holding a game controller, her hair hanging toward the floor. Lulu stands beside the couch and asks, “Dani, who are Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, and Peter Cullen?” Dani answers, “A singer, an actor, and a voice‑over artist. They’re celebrities.”

Panel 2
Lulu says, “The internet is lit up. They died.” Dani, still upside down, flails in shock and tosses the controller as she shouts, “WHAT!”

Panel 3
Dani looks are her tablet and says, “Everyone is saying so many nice things. So much praise. They touched so many lives. Individuals and whole communities have been affected. So sad.” 

Lulu puts her hand on Dani’s shoulder and says, “This proves a saying on my planet is universal.”

Panel 4
Lulu says, “Live your life in such a way the world doesn’t celebrate your death.”

Throwback Comic: Pizza Time Lulu has opinions on the pizza I thought was mostly okay. #daniandlulucomic #webcomic #comics #school #pizza
Panel 1
In the school cafeteria Lulu holds a slice of pizza and asks, “What’s this?” Dani says, “Pizza.”

Panel 2
Lulu examines the pizza and says, “It’s square, cheese is rubbery, the sauce doesn’t have enough sugar, and there’s so much oil it’s about to be invaded.”

Panel 3
Lulu throws the pizza slice away and says, “This isn’t pizza, it’s sh…” Dani watches with surprise.

Panel 4
Lulu sits outside the principal’s office. Mr Freely sticks his head out the door and says, “Lulu? It’s only your first day.”

Panel 3
Dani and Lulu watch something off-panel. Dani says, “I didn’t know Jules could jump that high.” Lulu says, “She’s so good at this.”

For this, a self published children's comic, I took myself the liberty to place an anti AI manifesto on the indicia / info page - and with "stay human / natural intelligence" stickers to booth. These were quite sought after at the book fair. Don't know how much more vocal I can get.
Opening pages of my self published Villa Pizote comic. Over red-orange background, in Spanish: "No generative AI resources were used in the production of this work",  below, a circular design featuring a hand holding a pencil, with surrounding words: "Stay human - natural intelligence". The same motif was released as stickers featuring four variations of the theme.

NEW COMIC! Crowning Achievement !! I posted this at 10am and see that it’s gone?? Take 2. “Wait, are we still doing this bit?” That was the original line in the last panel, but I felt it was too obscure if you didn’t read the last two comics. #daniandlulucomic #webcomic #comics #kite #tree
Panel 1
Dani says, “Finally a nice breeze to cool things down.” Lulu says, “This breeze is a nice respite.” Dani starts to say, “Maybe we can fly a ki…”

Panel 2
Dani asks, “Hey, where’d you get that kite?” Suddenly Lulu is holding a red kite. Lulu says, “Don’t think too hard about it.”

Panel 3
Dani and Lulu run while flying the kite and laugh loudly.Lulu holds the kite string smiling and laughing while looking back at the kite.

Panel 4
Later, the kite is stuck in a tree. Lulu says, “Well, this seems familiar.” Dani and Lulu look up at the tree with a bit of familiarity.

Lulu says, “Oh! He’s always nice to work with.”

Panel 4
Lulu and the production assistant stand in front of the large studio structure that holds the comic’s physical panels. 

Dani sits on the bottom edge of the top panel frame and says, “Hi Lulu! I guess break was cut short.”

The production assistant says, “We’ll add them in post.”Bonus panel:

Dani and Lulu stand together holding scripts.
Dani says, “These meta gags can be so confusing.”

Throwback comic! I Love Lulu Yet another old comic while I’m on vacation. Lulu watched a lot of TV while Dani was a school. I Love Lucy is her favorite show. Just as she is able to make people see her as human she can suggest other things too. #daniandlulucomic #webcomic #comics

Dani looks toward the front of the room as Miss Lake, still off panel, says, “I want you all to help Betty Lou feel welcome.”

Panel 3
Dani sees Lulu in her human disguise and says, “No,” in shock. Lulu speaks from off panel, correcting the teacher about her name, “It’s Lulu Miss Lake.”

Panel 4
Lulu, standing beside Miss Lake at the front of the classroom, says, “Lulu is my hatch name.”
