Welcome to Adopted the Comic. This short project ran from 2009-2013 and has now come to an end as Bert & Jess turn towards other projects. By popular demand, the website and Facebook page will be left up as a resource and platform for comments, but it will have very minimal activity from us. Comics can still be linked or used (more info HERE). Bert & Jess would like to thank everyone for the amazing support they had throughout the project. See our final post HERE. Jess continues to do adoption comics now and then on her new comic Stray Thoughts Comics HERE.

It’s got to that time of year and here is our festive holiday comic =). While not inspired by, it reminds me of one of my favorite xmas films Nightmare Before Christmas =).

As a little extra we have we have made available a ecard (for personal use) friendly image great for email. It’s not everyday you’ll find an adoption themed card, i know i’ve looked =P. Click [HERE] to go to the image link.

While we love doing the comic, me and Bert explore other creative avenues =D Bert has been kind enough to share a poetry slam that he did last March. The slam was put on by the University of Waterloo Speech Communication program and it was Bert’s debut! Enjoy!
