Lindsay Hornsby @fizzlebit.bsky.social · Mar 4
👋 Hello, #intro post time for me! I'm Lindsay, I'm a #cartoonist who grew up when the internet was still a bit clunky. I learned websites in middle school specifically so I could put comics & art on them! 🎉

When I'm not making #comics, I #crochet including making my own designs. 🧶
A color illustration by Lindsay Hornsby. A giant rainbow is cascading out of a cloud in the sky as five different cartoon puppies slide down it with various emotions. Each is wearing a different crown on their head and additional accessories. These are the Princess Pups. The pup closest in the image is a peach-colored teacup chihuahua wearing a gold and purple crown and a purple and red beaded necklace. This is TeaCup Pup! She’s so happy as she slides off into the land below the rainbow! Behind her is an orange-and-white corgi puppy with a tiara-style crown with five jewels and a matching golden collar. She looks unsure as she also slides toward the bottom of the rainbow slide. This is Corgi Pup! Behind Corgi Pup is a fluffy brown pup with a pearl necklace and a golden crown on her head who slides down on her back with excitement. It’s Fluff Pup! Behind Fluff Pup is an orange scruffy-looking puppy who slides backwards and looks over her shoulder to see where she’s going. She wears a gold and purple crown and a kinda doily looking collar. It’s Scruffy Pup! Behind Scruffy Pup, sliding upside-down with her long tongue hanging out, is a pug puppy with a purple cape and a gold-and-red crown on her head. This is Pug Pup! There’s a giant land below the Princess Pups dotted with a river, a giant angry looking warthog, trees, several goats and some cats wearing hats that look like trouble. In the sky near the Princess Pups’ rainbow is their castle with a domed middle and two tall towers on either side. Funny little blue cloud people float nearby and wave as the pups slide down A color illustration by Lindsay Hornsby of the Space Pups, two Labrador puppy twins in matching red spacesuits, high-fiving as they float in space. They are delighted with their high-five. Below them is a larger, bluish-greenish planet that has a tennis-ball-shaped satellite floating above it. Space is filled with purplish and pinkish colors and there’s a few scattered planets and a moon hanging out in the background as well. Comic panel 1: Outside near a pond, two of the Princess Pups, Pug Pup and TeaCup Pup, are playing accordions! Creaky music notes float out of their instruments Comic panel 2: Closer view of the same pond in Panel 1, where a Grumpy Goose sits on a nest looking grumpy. Music notes from Panel 1 are floating around his head Comic Panel 3: Back to Pug Pup and TeaCup Pup as they play accordions, the Grumpy Goose has walked over to them. TeaCup Pup has turned to face Grumpy Goose as she keeps playing her accordion Comic Panel 4: Grumpy Goose leans over and snaps up TeaCup Pup’s accordion in his beak, cutting off the music as Pug Pup looks very surprised Comic Panel 5: Pug Pup and TeaCup Pup look startled as Grumpy Goose swallows the accordion he had grabbed, which is making his goose neck resemble a squished accordion Comic Panel 6: Grumpy Goose does not look grumpy anymore as he stretches his neck to make the accordion he swallowed make music! Pug Pup joins in with her accordion as TeaCup Pup looks positively delighted! Photograph of a row of crocheted amigurumi made by Lindsay. There's three small puppies with pointy ears in a box on a brown table. They're crochet versions of the character TeaCup Pup from Princess Pups. They are all handmade but have slightly different safety eye placement and little crocheted crowns on their heads. They are sitting on their little bums with crocheted smiles on their faces.

This is Willi and Rigatoni. They were saying not-so-nice things behind your back, but then you turned around. Super awkward. 13/10 for both (IG: wildwildwilli)

Nearby, a pink winged buggy alien is very miffed about this A merry velociraptor in a long-sleeved pj top sets a table labeled "4 Santa".

Scruffy Pup holds up a token and in the background is a Crane Game Comic Panel 2: View from inside a crane game with lots of colorful plush prizes. The crane is moving. Outside the game Scruffy Pup moves the crane while Corgi Pup waves directions. Comic Panel 3: A satisfied Scruffy Pup pushes a button while the crane game crane dives into toys. Corgi Pup looks delighted Comic Panel 4: The crane game crane is still buried down in the crane game plushes but is not coming up. It is stuck. Scruffy Pup and Corgi Pup look confusedly at it with lost puppy faces. Comic Panel 5: The crane game crane has come back up. It is holding a goat who has a poofed-up mouth, like the goat is chewing something. Scruffy Pup and Corgi Pup stare from outside the crane game in utter confusion and dismay. Comic Panel 6: The goat, still held by the crane game crane, opens wide and spits out a plush goat toy while making a loud "BLAT!" noise. The toy flies into the prize drop area.

NEW(!) Princess Pups comic: "Snowman Stackin'" 👑🐶❤️⛄

It's been snowing a bunch! TeaCup Pup, Pug Pup and Scruffy Pup have built a quality snowman! Time to put the finishing touches onto their snowy sculpture...

www.princesspupscomic.com/comic/snowma...
"Snowman Stackin'", a Princess Pups comic by Lindsay Hornsby Comic Panel 1: Outside on a cold day, TeaCup Pup, Pug Pup, and Scruffy Pup are in their winter hats and scarves looking up with happy pride at a mostly-finished snowman. Their snowman has eyes and a mouth from small rocks and a big carrot nose! A large top hat sits on the ground between the pups, waiting to be put on the snowman’s head Comic Panel 2: On the other side of the snowy hill away from the pups’ snowman, TeaCup Pup is searching for sticks to use as arms. She’s found one already and is about to pick up another. Comic Panel 3: TeaCup Pup arrives back at the snowman with the sticks. She’s puzzled as she looks up at the snowman’s head. Both Pug Pup and Scruffy Pup are wedged into the snowman’s shoulders so that only their heads and one front leg per pup sticks out. Pug Pup and Scruffy Pup are caught in the act of eating the carrot nose! Comic Panel 4: TeaCup Pup smiles pleasantly as she’s managed to put the top hat on both Pug Pup and Scruffy Pup at the same time. They’re now the two heads of the snowman and have happily gobbled up all of the carrot! The original snowman’s head is slowly sliding down the side of the body with the rock smile now turned into a vague frown.

COMIC! "Pumpkin" 👑 🐶 ❤️ 🥧

Oh man, I love pumpkin pie and so do the Princess Pups! They're eager to bake a lovely, tasty pumpkin pie! But uh, making a pie, it's a bit...messier...than just eating the pie, isn't it?... #PumpkinPie #PrincessPups

Read more:⬇️
www.princesspupscomic.com/comic/pumpkin/
"Pumpkin", page 1, a Princess Pups comic by Lindsay Hornsby A long comic panel reads the comic’s title, “Pumpkin” in blocky lettering. On either side are cartoony pumpkins each with a face of one of the Princess Pups carved into it looking happy Comic Panel 1: Interior of a kitchen, three Princess Pups are making pie dough on a kitchen counter. Fluff Pup has an excited word balloon with an image of a delicious slice of pumpkin pie in it and an exclamation point. TeaCup Pup and Corgi Pup are working on kneading the dough. Comic Panel 2: Closer shot of Fluff Pup excitedly with a word balloon of a whole pumpkin as TeaCup Pup and Corgi Pup clap in anticipation of going to get a pumpkin for their pie! Comic Panel 3: Outside of a pumpkin patch, run by a grey goat with a solemn expression. Fluff Pup happily points past the wooden arches of the gate to piles of pumpkins growing inside. TeaCup Pup and Corgi Pup are following Fluff Pup inside the gate. Comic Panel 4: Corgi Pup looks off to the right with glee as Fluff Pup examines a large pumpkin carefully. Comic Panel 5: Corgi Pup has flopped on top of a large pumpkin that’s her pick for the pie. TeaCup Pup and Fluff Pup stare at it as they lick their lips in anticipation of making a pumpkin pie! Comic Panel 6: Outside the pumpkin patch gates, Corgi Pup is balancing the pumpkin on her back as she and TeaCup pup head out. Fluff Pup is waving with a smile at the goat to thank him. The goat keeps his serious-looking face but waves back to her. "Pumpkin", page 2, a Princess Pups comic by Lindsay Hornsby Comic Panel 1: Back inside their caste, Fluff Pup carefully holds the pumpkin on the floor. TeaCup Pup is wagging her tail as she uses a small saw to slice the top of the pumpkin off. Corgi Pup waits nearby with a pie crust at the ready. All three pups are eager to make this pie! Comic Panel 2: A large, greenish-brown BLORP! overtakes the panel from the pumpkin as piles of pumpkin guts slop onto the floor once the pumpkin’s top falls away. All three pups look aghast and startled at this gross display. Comic Panel 3: A similar panel (sans sound effect) as the three pups look carefully at each other, thinking. Comic Panel 4: Exterior of a bakery. There’s a happy cloud meeple outside waving as Fluff Pup, TeaCup Pup, and Corgi Pup leave with pleased expressions. Each pup has a freshly-baked pumpkin pie on their back!
