BEWARE OF TODDLER From crayon-based cuisine to impromptu games of hide-and-seek, The Toddler spends her days tormenting her father in a never-ending pursuit of cookies and juice. Beware of Toddler is based on creator George Gant’s experiences as a stay-at-home parent.
ABOUT THE CREATOR From an early age, George Gant knew he wanted to draw cartoons. He spent countless hours drawing at home, in school, and anywhere with pencil and paper available. George eventually began drawing editorial cartoons in his high school’s newspaper, winning four awards over three years. After high school, George focused on college and work and stepped away from drawing. That was until he re-discovered comics. Beware of Toddler would gain popularity fairly quickly, leading to more projects for George such as Angel Face Investigates, a comic strip published in The Beano, a children’s comic magazine based in the United Kingdom, and illustrations for Ranger Rick Magazine. The antics of The Toddler and Dady would eventually be nominated for a Ringo Award, a Webtoon Canvas Award, and Four Glyph Awards, winning one in 2022. In late-2021, ToddlerHood! a printed book collection was successfully funded on Kickstarter, and in 2022, Beware of Toddler joined King Features through the Comics Kingdom platform. George currently resides In Chicago, Illinois with his wife and two children.
CHARACTERS “DADY” Dady (as known by The Toddler) is a work-from-home data entry clerk and stay-at-home parent. Desperate for a moment of peace, he is usually the target of his daughter’s antics. Gary loves his family, however, and will do everything he can for them.
“THE TODDLER” The Toddler is an Actress, Doctor, Executive Chef, Artist, Professional Wrestler, Humanitarian, Politician, and whatever else she decides to become at any given moment. She wants to do it all & she isn’t going to let the fact she is only two years old get in her way.
“BIG BROVA” The Toddler’s older brother and a career elementary school student. He is constantly annoyed by his younger sister but will assist her if cookies are involved.
“MOMY” Momy (as known by The Toddler) is an office manager and The Toddler’s mother. She loves her family but doesn’t quite understand how much damage a toddler can cause during the day. Her face is rarely visible as she is almost always at work.
THE QUADRUPUS The Toddler’s favorite stuffed toy and sidekick. Machine washable, luckily.
VARIOUS When Dady and The Toddler are out and about, they come across a diverse, eccentric group of people, from nosy neighbors to baristas and other toddlers, each with antics of their own.
