When Pets Become Comic Book Heroes (and Villains!)

When Pets Become Comic Book Heroes (and Villains!)

Every pet owner secretly knows the truth — our furry (or scaly, or feathery) companions have big personalities. Some are brave, some are dramatic, and others are mischievous enough to rival any comic book villain. So what happens when you combine that energy with custom comic art? You get the ultimate tribute — your pet starring in their very own comic adventure.

Dogs: The Loyal Heroes

Dogs have long been the superheroes of the pet world. Whether they’re rescuing tennis balls from under the sofa or standing guard by the window, they’ve got all the classic hero traits — courage, loyalty, and boundless energy.

At Make Me A Comic, we’ve turned countless dogs into heroic figures — capes flying, jaws set in determination, ready to save the day (or at least the snacks). From custom comic book covers to custom comic strips, or even a full custom comic book - dogs make natural protagonists. They’re always the ones leaping into action first, while the humans try to keep up.

Cats: The Purr-fect Villains (with Style)

Of course, where there’s a hero, there must be a villain — and who better than cats? With their cool indifference and that mysterious side-eye, cats were practically born to play the mastermind role. They’re the Loki of the living room, plotting world domination between naps.

We’ve designed plenty of comics where cats are the cunning nemesis — or sometimes, the misunderstood antihero. They might steal the spotlight (and the last bit of tuna), but they always do it with flair. If your budget is smaller you could opt for a custom pet portrait.

Beyond Cats and Dogs: Every Pet Has a Story

We don’t stop at the usual suspects. We’ve turned horses into noble knights, snakes into smooth-talking villains, and guinea pigs into unexpected heroes. Rabbits, parrots, lizards — every animal can have its own comic persona.

And because every comic is custom made, we match your pet’s personality perfectly — whether they’re clumsy, sneaky, brave, or just adorably chaotic. You choose the style, the setting, and the tone. We bring it to life in full color.

Your Pet, Your Comic Universe

Imagine a family portrait where everyone — including the pets — are part of a superhero team. Or a comic cover starring your dog as the bold hero, your cat as the sassy sidekick, and your kids as their human allies.

We create:

  • Custom Comic Covers – your pet as the star of a graphic masterpiece
  • Custom Comic Strips – short, funny stories that capture their quirks
  • Custom Comic Books – epic adventures starring your pet crew
  • Pet & Owner Portraits – side-by-side, a classic portrait
  • Family with Pet Portraits – the ultimate team shot on the couch
  • Each piece is hand-drawn with your photos as reference — we capture every whisker, smirk, and wag.

Why It’s the Ultimate Gift

Whether it’s for yourself or someone else, a custom comic featuring a beloved pet is the kind of gift that gets framed forever. It’s funny, touching, and deeply personal — especially for birthdays, anniversaries, or memorials.

For pet parents, it’s a way to celebrate the little heroes (and villains) who rule their world every day.
