Jon Esparza over at Jon’s Crazy Stuff put out a call for cartoons falling into several categories. I of course chose Frosty coming to life in my own twisted way. That dog was always around in the Frosty special and you can bet he relieved himself at some point in the snow. Why not right before he was built. Follow Jon at JonsCrazyTweets and check out all the other cartoon entries at Jon’s Crazy Stuff.
This tidbit of information came from my Google Plus friend Mary Zeman. She sent me this article that explains how bacteria left behind by one hyena can be picked up by other hyenas. And from this article: “Other hyenas that sample these leavings can sniff a wealth of information, including the animal’s sex, social status, willingness to mate and more. ”
The question is does this form of primitive (or advanced) social media among hyenas also carry over into other animal species (including Basset Hounds like Mary owns). And you thought your dog just liked to smell other dogs butts.
Did another cartoon for my friends at Project Blue Collar that work to give attention to adopted dogs. This one was fitting since their spokesperson er dog is named Sonny. Sonny sings Cher’s song Half breed at a karaoke bar….get it?
Sorry I haven’t been visiting the blogosphere. All my non work hours have been filled trying to edit my niece’s wedding video. Ugh!! I got out of the video editing work for a reason. haha
First Guest Cartoon while I am away is Kim Belding’s PicPak Webcomic. Shown is PicPak the dog at age 100. Here is how Kim describes the webcomic:
Picpak Dog is a simple gag comic that revolves around Picpak, a big pink dog, his wife Wakky, a small blue cat, and all the folleys that they and their friends get themselves into. It’s simple, family-friendly and all-ages fun. The 100-year old here in question is Picpak. Things have changed a lot in the future. Somehow Picpak has aged, but his children haven’t. Kids these days.
Thanks Kim for being first out of the gate and first to send me a guest cartoon. I love the socks with sandals look. So dad-like. Go show Kim some love. Thanks
Today’s cartoon was inspired by a challenge by our friend Jillsy Girl to do a post inspired by childhood memories.
I remember my dad liking some crap that the rest of us couldn’t stand, yet we had to eat it because whatever mom made for dinner you had to eat. Somehow my wife’s mom always let her have peanut butter and jelly sandwiches if she didn’t like what was for dinner. Not in my house. You had to take some of EVERYTHING…and eat it.
Well that was the plan anyway. Thanks to our good old dog, I didn’t have to worry about eating all my liver or tongue. Yes, my family was served cow tongue on occasion. You know when you rush in from playing outside and are excited to see what is for dinner only to see a giant cow tongue boiling in water that it’s not a good night. I can remember seeing the ridges on the tongue floating in the water. Hated the stuff. But the dog loved it. It was a sly motion that you stuck the food in your mouth, coughed into your hand as you spit out the meat and then slowly reached under the table to the awaiting jaws of the beast.
Still, I could never get the fucking dog to eat my brussel sprouts.
Charity Challenge is in it’s last week. Click the link to join in if you haven’t.
There are many cartoonists who I am jealous of for their talent. One of them is Dawn Griffin of Zorphbert and Fred fame. The depth that her cartoon has in mere gray scale is amazing and her line work is tops.
Well Dawn is getting married and she is going to be busy for a while so she created a guest registry for cartoonists to depict different wedding scenes. She is starting at the bottom with mine on “Breaking the Glass”. So go check it out and leave her many comments to show what I lack in talent I make up in a loyal fan base.
And keep checking back over the next month as you will see many other Bearmaniacs joining in the fun including Bo Lumpkin on Friday, Ken Drab, Todd McElmurry and Byron Wilkins.
