Welcome!
"Ghost Hounds" is a comic strip about a group of very unusual children and their psychicly sensitive dog (his nose, anyway), who have settled their minds on tracking down the truth about the paranormal, like a pack of tenacious bloodhounds.
Funny, informative, mysterious and provocative, "Ghost Hounds" challenges our concept of normalcy and awakens us to the possibility that the Universe is much more than that which meets the five senses.
About The cartoonist
Hi, my name is Jerry Emerson and I've been cartooning just about all my life. Back in the '70s and '80s, you may have seen my cartoons published in national and international magazines, like Omni, Saturday Evening Post, TV Guide, New Woman, Saturday Review and Reader's Digest. Locally, I did a strip called "The Robotsons" that ran for several years. My objective now is to see "Ghost Hounds" become an ongoing, daily online production.
The Ghost Hounds Gang
The two main characters are Zachary Foxworth and
Samantha Woods. Their friends include Derwin Gaily,
Cassandra Duvall, Kazuki Kurosawa, Buddy Perkins, Mr.
Hennessy, a homeless man, Karloff, a very special
bloodhound, and Zak's strange,
New Age aunt, Celeste Foxworth. The
antagonists in the strip are Randy DeBunker and his
group called S.A.P.S., or "Students Against
Paranormal Stuff."

About The Strip
My strip is about a group of engaging children who become so interested in the paranormal
that they form their own group of ghost hunters and paranormal investigators.
They call themselves "Ghost Hounds," for several reasons. First, one of their
members just happens to be a large bloodhound who possesses a unique gift...he can smell ghosts.
Second, they approach their paranormal cases like bloodhounds on a trail, determined to track down whatever is
responsible for the phenomena. They're not always successful, and not always well organized,
and differences and arguments often threaten their success; but their tenacity prevails and
adventure and fun is the result.
