So i'm very proud to present, my very first drawing. Yes, drawing. I mean, i have drawn before, but that was just re-drawing a scene or a character.. basically doing the copy/paste to the best of my capabilities. Yesterday, i picked up my pen and paper after 2year long pause and after doing various doodles and practices, one of my friends asked me as to why i still haven't drawn anything of my own yet? I tried to give excuses like i don't have inspiration or nothing pops into my head, but she was reluctant to hear that and pushed me to try it...
After several attempts, i have done it. I showed it to her and she was pleased with the result. That made me think, that maybe,just maybe..it wasn't that i lacked inspiration, it was merely that i was doubting my abilities to create something..
Thus after a long night sleep and long pondering about which idea to pursue, i came up with this
QBeagle, check this out!
Hope you like it. I quite like the idea of an aloof grandpa, so if enough people will want me to do it, i might even carry on with these ideas, let me know

Your friend was right to ignore your excuses and push you into it! She seems to be a smart cookie, you should listen to her suggestions 
I like the comic, I've often been amused by these sorts of absent minded characters. I think it's great that Grandpa here isn't simple forgetful or soft headed, there is a simple logic behind what he does. Were this a web comic, or some other form of ongoing comic, I would absolutely read more. By which I'm saying you ought to make more.
I think you did better at capturing the anger/annoyance of the grandson (I'm assuming grandson from the hair, the panel one character wasn't fully introduced) in his posture more so than the angry face in the panel with him. The raised shoulders and clenched fists really sell it. With the face I think the eyebrows and top of the eyes should have a more severe angle to them. With them so flat it looked more frustrated, more of a "Not this again..." look than the dialog seemed to call for.
Looking from behind the grandson in the first panel didn't seem right to me. It's kind of like we should be looking over his shoulder, at which point we'd see grandpa in that panel too. I don't know if it would help to see grandpa that early, maybe his backside as he hangs his pants, then his turnaround in panel two would reinforce his disregard of acceptable dress. To me that feels more like it would firmly establish grandpa's character, but undermine the joke.
It might work better to fully see grandson's reaction. Show his front, perhaps just as he walked out the backdoor and spotted grandpa.
Which brings us to grandpa himself, I've already mentioned I like the traits for him, but also his character design works well for me too. A stout torso with thin arms and legs. The only real critique I might offer there is to not color his hair, or do make its details lines very sparse, the idea is to make it appear more gray so it's clear that he's an old codger as opposed to middle aged and balding.
Nice work on this one! Make another
