Digital Press Kit: Dumplings

Page 1

DUMPLINGS features the amusing adventures of Benny the dog and Mac the cat — two best pals against a world that doesn’t believe that cats and dogs can be friends. While Benny and Mac’s antics often get them into tricky situations, Benny’s owner, Dani, and her best friend, Franny, are up to hilarious shenanigans of their own.

Victor Van Acker’s Dumplings follows Benny, Mac, Dani and Franny as they traverse the ups and downs of life; everything from student council coups, exam anxieties, and soccer team walk-outs to tongues frozen to stair railings, fights over sidewalk pizza, and trips to the ice cream stand.

ABOUT THE CREATOR

Victor Van Acker started drawing cute little dogs and cats when his children were small and he’d join them for coloring time. Then in 2022, Victor sold the ice cream stand that he and his family had owned for 15 years. He figured this was as good a time as any to really make something of his comic and a year later, Dumplings was born.
