It's time for another excellent installment of Behind the Gifs, by the funny and talented Kat Swenski!. Kat Swenski is the artist behind KatRaccoon Comics and has helped create a form of storytelling called, 'Behind the Gifs.' Behind the gifs is a comic/gif hybrid narrative. You ever come across a gif with no context and you end up wondering, "what in the world is going on?" These comics dive into that missing context in strange and unexpected ways to help explain a gif. 

There's an entire community on Reddit, r/behindthegifs, filled with artists whose duty is to bring context to those context-less gifs and complete the mystery. 

We're huge fans of Kat Swenski 'Little Purrmaid' comic/gif hybird, if you have yet to see that adorable comic -- check it out! You can see more artwork on Instagram or on KatRacoon Comics!

Meet the talented artist, Gemma Gené, and her pug, Mochi! Gemma Gené, born in Barcelona, currently residing in New York, started the cartoon series "157 of gemma" as an escape from her Architecture undergrad final thesis project. "157 of gemma" is a cartoon series about her life with her "chubby and opinionated pug Mochi," as written on the 157ofgemma website about section, "The main characters are Mochi, my husband Peli, Mochi's brothers the Twinchis and me. Mochi is a very happy and sweet pug that sees life in a particular way. In his world, his happy life with his Mom (Mami) is truncated by the constant presence of his Dad. Also, he thinks he is human and he shouldn't walk up the stairs, that is why mums are for."

Gemma Gené also offers an adorable bio for Mochi, stating, "He is super sweet and well behaved, but he can be very sassy and pretty much does whatever he wants. His favorite activities include sleeping, eating, and going for walks, especially when he is being carried. Mochi has many friends, most of them humans. Mochi lives happily in Bushwick and works very hard every day inspiring cartoons."

You all are in for a super delightful treat! It doesn't get more wholesome and adorable than "Hey Buddy Comics," and we've rounded up 25 comics from this past year that are not only wholesome but really uplifting. 

"Hey Buddy Comics," is created by the combined talented forces of the James, the writer, and an artist that goes by the initial "K." We had the chance to speak to James about the process of 'Hey Buddy Comics,' and how they uncover a plethora of wholesome ideas for comics.

"I have been writing short dialogues about my dog since he was a puppy. The intense affection I felt for this creature I could not communicate with inspired me to imagine the conversations we would have if I could. Recently I realized that the huge collection of stuff I had written might actually entertain other people. The problem was they were kind of boring to look at in text form, they needed to be brought to life, to have the same energy and verve as my actual dog," said James.

So, James teamed up with the artist "K" and "Hey Buddy Comics" was born! Get ready to have your heart flooded with some major aww's!

This year has been many things but we like to focus on the good. And the good is that there's a bunch of new 'They Can Talk' Comics by the hilarious and talented Jimmy Craig!
