My name is Jonathan Ponikvar. I'm a published comic artist who graduated from SCAD with a Bachelor's in Sequential Art (comics and cartooning), with additional graduate-level training under my belt in the same field. I now work professionally as a Multimedia/Web Developer while producing/publishing comics and pinup illustrations. I've also been known to play some crazy piano on occasion. My wife Whitney is also one of the most talented artists I know, and together we are the creative team behind two comics that have been published online since 2005. Her character is also the focal point of an annual pinup cosplay series that I produce around Halloween each year.
The Peterverse is the name of the universe where both our comics take place. Peter & Company tells the story of a young cat named Peter and his special friend, a duck named Seth whom only Peter can see. Peter & Whitney is the sequel series to P&C, telling the story of how Peter and his soulmate Whitney find each other in college and start their lives together.

Funny enough, I've been here longer than I've been on FA! I set up shop here way back in 2003 or so. Even got a handful of Daily Deviations over the years.

I've been drawing her in pinups for over 15 years now, so it's possible you've seen her in other places before! 😁

This is from the sequel comic, Peter & Whitney, which jumps ahead to where our characters are in college and finally start dating. It's an autobiography romantic comedy series that tells the story of how my wife and I actually met at art school (the Whitney character is directly based on her).
So yes! This is from the version where they're adults and officially dating. I also jump ahead and show romantic/intimate moments between them after they're already married, too. It's just a fun side project to the main Peter & Company series. 😊
