Warning: My dog redecorated during a comics organizing spree
I was sorting my old comics into boxes last night. Left the room to grab a drink, and my dog got excited. Came back to find pages gently torn and covers chewed. Now I have a unique 'variant' issue of my favorite series. What's the most creative disaster your pets have caused with your stuff?
Look at it this way, dogs chew stuff, that's just what they do. Calling it a creative disaster or a variant issue feels like trying too hard to make a story out of a normal mess. My cat knocks over plants constantly, and I just see a dead plant and dirt on the floor, not some artistic statement. Maybe the comic is just ruined and that's okay, it doesn't need a fancy new label.
Your dog might be a secret comic critic, giving that issue a harsh review (with teeth). Those chewed-up pages could be the next big thing in avant-garde collecting. My pet rabbit once turned my homework into confetti, so I get the 'creative destruction' vibe.
Honestly the hamster approach is the real deal. That little guy will turn a textbook into bedding fluff and a charging cable into modern art spaghetti. No fancy labels needed, just a tiny rodent living its best destructive life. Sometimes a chewed thing is just a chewed thing, not a statement. My old hamster did this to my favorite paperback and I was just mad about the book.
