Line 4:
After several years of failing to get his work syndicated, Taylor began posting strips about a wiener dog named Oscar and a squirrel named Oliver online and in his college's newspaper. Renamed ''Not in My Backyard!'' by 1998, the strip moved to its own domain of nimby.net, later notinmybackyard.com. The strip garnered a couple mentions in the ''Fort Worth Star-Telegram'' and was even listed in ''Building a Website for Dummies''.
''[[Not in My Backyard!]]'' centralized on the wiener dog and squirrel characters, as well as Oscar's human owner, Elsa, and several other background characters: Terrance the armadillo, Grumpa the old fox terrier, Auden and E.J. the cats, Bip and Bap the yorkies, Jessie the mouse (or rat) and Matilda the poodle. After several months of [[Schedule Slip]], it stopped entirely, but didn't vanish into the ether until 2011.
