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.
Peterverse Comics and Websites:
Peter & Company - "What if, to a child, what appeared to be an imaginary friend... were in fact, his guardian angel?" The story of Peter and his friend Seth, a supernatural duck who was assigned to help Peter survive his childhood intact. Currently available in printed volumes via Amazon and Barnes & Noble, and coming soon in animated form.
Peter & Whitney - The story of two childhood friends finding each other again in college, falling in love, getting married, and everything that happens in between.
The Peterverse Picarto - Watch our weekly streams on Monday/Wednesday/Friday, as Whitney and I both work together to get our comics and other projects done.
Oh, these aren't new. We've each had our own Switches basically since launch. I'll be doing the same with the Switch 2, for sure!
You're aware I draw furry porn myself, right? Lol I have no issues with people expressing their sexuality. At the time this was written (now a decade prior), there absolutely was an anti-furry bias in the comics and animation industries.
Then Zootopia came out and completely obliterated my argument. Nowadays, furries are quite more mainstream and widely accepted as a standard cartoon design once again.
I'm leaving this post intact, without any modifications, just to preserve my observations at the time it was written. It no longer is accurate to the current state of things, but I'm grateful for that.
