Clyde Thelonius Robinson, the last surviving member of the APNF crew, passed away unexpectedly this afternoon. He was one month shy of his 5th birthday.

Clyde was a mild-mannered, goofy dog who loved to sit on top of his doghouse in the rain. I did my best to capture his peculiar nature and goofiness in the webcomic.

He is preceded in death by his biological brother, Iggy (who died of parvo as a puppy) and A Pug Named Fender (who died of heartworms). He never had any puppies – although there was that one time he got loose in 2010 and came back home very relaxed…so who knows

Clyde is survived by his other adoptive brother, Bucee, a chihuahua-westie mix who is also depicted in a few episodes of APNF.

I created this webcomic as a way of coping with APNF’s death and I always found peace in knowing that Clyde was still with us. Occasionally, when I would bring him food, I’d remind Clyde that he was a “superstar” on the internet.

Now he’s in doggie paradise with his brothers, his legacy will also live on as I take this webcomic to greater heights in 2013 and beyond.

RIP Clyde {22 February 2008 – 8 January 2013}
