Dogs of Downtown

The Dogs of Downtown is an independent children's comic book franchise dreamed up by eight-year-old author Gracie McCorkle capturing the real dogs, a mix of real life stories and some fictional adventures, and actual historic places in downtown McKinney. The series stands out for its distinct Silver Age pop-art aesthetic, utilizing classic Ben-Day dots, vibrant vintage layouts, and bold ink lines to bring the dogs' perspective of the neighborhood to life.

The core storyline is structured around ongoing comic releases:

Issue #1: Dog Gone Missin': Released in February 2026, this debut issue established the dogs' world, their dynamic, and their initial escapades.

Issue #2: Market Mayhem: Released in October 2026, this sequel expands the local lore and ties the narrative directly into the bustling downtown environment.

Beyond the printed and digital pages, the comic series acts as the narrative foundation for a larger interactive ecosystem. The characters, antagonists, and vintage art style directly inform the Go Fetch! custom tabletop card game, as well as now merging into the digital world of PupGO! the mobile web app, blending the comic's lore with real-world community scavenger hunts and digital mini-games. Dive into the entire 3d world of Downtown McKinney in Pup Crawl (Part of PupGO! online game) with hints from the comic and enjoy a real time version of the comics in video game form!
