My Cartoon Collection (#2)

Favorite cartoony number two? A dog and cat duo from Mother Goose and Grimm's Mike Peters (grimmy.com). Click the picture there and a big version'll pop up in a new window.

If you have trouble following cartoon panels (that used to be me!) or aren't interested in clicking the picture, the drawing goes like this:

     Doggie: "Sniff sniff (pole). Sniff (fire hydrant).
     Sniff sniff (brick wall)."

     Cat: "Grimm, what are you doing?"

     Doggie: "I'm checking my p-mail."

Har har har! Funny animule drawings, the word pee, and a pun. If humans were as nose-centric as dogs there'd be more research and development money spent on perfecting something truly useful: Smell-O-Vision. Scented websites, mirrors, and movies. Think about the possibilities for truthful advertising: "No really, this movie does stink!"

If you like doing cartoons but can't draw, the Dayton Daily News newspaper has a weekly contest where Mike draws it and you caption it. Looks fun. Give it a try at daytondailynews.com/peters/content/opinion/peters/openmike. "Open Mike", as they call it, appears to run Saturdays through Tuesdays, with the other days reserved for voting. More on Mike (like I know the guy) at Wikipedia.
