An original English-language manga by Wes Abbott and published by Tokyopop, Dogby Walks Alone tells the story of Dogby, The Voiceless mascot of Happyplace, a Disney-esque theme park. One crowded day, all hell breaks loose when many of the park's mascots organize an armed assault stealing a week's worth of ticket money, as well as the murder of Princess, Dogby's former lover. With the help of Snack Girl, he has to solve both crimes, with many a Shout-Out along the way.

The second volume has Dogby heading to Alaska, having left Happyplace at the end of the first volume, having to rescue a small town from a Russian criminal regime, calling in the help of Squad B, a group of People in Rubber Suits who do mercenary work on the side. Also, he fights a Kodiak bear.

A third volume was planned, but then Tokyopop shut down.


This manga provides examples of::

  • A-Team Firing: Mocked with Squad-B. As a troupe of stunt actors, all their guns are just movie props. The real threat they pose to Shelikof's gang is their rowdiness is a magnet for the real authorities.
  • Defeat Means Friendship: In Volume 2, the Kodiak Bear shows up in the final battle and mauls a Russian soldier when Dogby gives the okay.
  • The Faceless: Dogby. When he is unmasked, his face is always kept in shadow or obscured some other way.
