Kids Comics Pitchfest 2025 Showcase

Milk & Cookie

Like PizzaTaco and Narwhal & Jelly, Milk & Cookie are best friends having fun and learning to work through their differences. Today they’re going on an adventure– or at least that’s what Cookie wants. Milk prefers to share an ice cream sundae, but he’s not good at speaking up.

Biking or fishing? Waffle cone or sugar cone? Hiking or surfing? Mint chip or strawberry?

The two young friends must figure out how to work together before the ice cream shop closes and the sun goes down on their adventure!

Since Cookie is IMPULSIVE and Milk is reserved, does that mean Cookie will get her way again? No way! The friends will learn to compromise, meet some quirky characters, and realize their commonalities while they build a stronger bond.

My Why:

As a family, we’ve always celebrated what makes people different and emphasized the importance of caring for those more vulnerable– a lesson that has to start early. Now that my kids are teens, I get the joy of seeing them flow with empathy.

Milk & Cookie may seem like opposites, but at their core they share the same love for being together, seeking adventure, and, of course, ice cream. When you recognize what you have in common, any obstacle can be overcome.

I’ve always struggled with stories that feel more like a lesson than a narrative. Stories, in my opinion, should entertain first and foremost. But if a subtle lesson is woven in—one that strengthens a child’s heart and makes them more resilient—then that’s a story I’d love to share.
