New Comic “Sour Grapes” Brings Its Grumpy Flying Dog to GoComics
Creator Tim Jones tells us why a miserable dog, a pet storm cloud, and a bad day make for the perfect comic strip.
“It took a layoff from his job more than a decade ago to convince creator Tim Jones to revive Aesop, a miserable flying dog he’d first drawn in the late ’90s. He cold-called papers, self-syndicated the strip across Rhode Island, and just kept going. Now, more than a decade later, “Sour Grapes”—which also stars Ominous, a sentient storm cloud with humanistic faults and cast of other characters—runs in more than 60 newspapers nationally and launches here on GoComics today, where it’ll update three times a week.
We chatted with Jones about grumpy characters, pet clouds, and why everybody’s got a little sour grapes in them.”
