Kevin’s mother Dorothy makes her arrival in this, the twelfth collection of Kevin & Kell. While diminutive, any prey species who has successfully thrived in the Wild is not to be taken lightly, as her in-laws soon discover. In honor of her introduction we’ve asked the strip’s readers to send in their favorite “yo momma” jokes...as told in the animal kingdom.

2005 found big changes in store for all of the Dewclaws. Lindesfarne graduated from high school and enrolled at Beige University. Coney spoke her first word and shed her baby bonnet as part of her development into a toddler. Kevin’s Hare-Link ISP found itself on the forefront of municipal wi-fi, and he was also recruited to distribute eggs as the county’s official Easter Bunny.

Kell departed Aby’s Auto Repair to return to Herd Thinners, Inc., and Rudy began taking both dance instruction and driving lessons. All in all, an eventful year!
