Hey Buddy Comics has a rare gift. In just four panels, it can make you laugh out loud and then quietly wreck you. The star is Buddy, a black, tan, and white terrier with a red collar and very simple priorities: walks, naps, friends, and his favorite human.
He turns down a royal crown, walks away from a winning chess game, and asks only one question before moving to a new house. If you have ever loved a dog, these 20 strips will feel personal.

Buddy finds a glowing sword in a stone during a forest walk and pulls it out with his teeth like it’s just another stick. A booming voice hails him as the new king, and his owner’s stunned face is the perfect payoff.
2. Prophecy (Part 2)

Buddy refuses the crown and asks for a democracy instead. The final panel shows him at a paw-print podium between red and blue banners, facing a chamber full of dogs, a sly political joke that kids and adults both enjoy.
3. Chess

The owner is sure he will win in two moves, so Buddy simply calls it a good game and heads out for a walk. It’s pure dog logic: winning means nothing when a walk is on the table.
