1999 Veterinarian's Report Blames PowerBar, Fruit Pit

“Constipated today, but had a BM today, small and firm. Ate dry fruit and ‘some PowerBars’ on Sunday and dry candies and nuts, eating grass today.”
—Veterinarian’s report on Godzilla
Female Manchester Terrier, 16 lbs
Angell Memorial Animal Hospital, Boston, MA
October 13, 1999

It can be assumed that BM is not an abbreviation for BMW but for Bowel Movement.

The tattered copy of the vet’s report goes on to state the happy outcome: one hard fruit pit extracted from Godzilla dog’s hindbutt, done the old-fashioned way, without surgery, but with some coaxing.

Godzilla is currently Vice President of External Affairs for this blog.

Hi Paula, thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving such nice comments. (Usually I have to pay people to do that.) I haven't had much time to peruse your site, but what I have seen has made laugh out loud. You seem to have a great sense of humor and I can see why you'd be in the cartooning class. I have not heard of Illustration Friday, so when I have some free time I will certainly check it out. See you soon.

You're On My Mind, For $1,000

It has not escaped me that I have a somewhat profuse forehead. Or rather, a fivehead. The “high forehead” was thought to be much attractive in the 15th through 16th centuries, when wealthy gentleladies plucked their way to highbrowed beauty. Admirers took note of the greater brainpan and refined intelligence. (“My, my. Look at thee fo’ead on that one. Hubba hubba.”) Alas, today we no longer live in the Middle Ages, those pox-filled days of easy beauty. Those of us left behind, showing proof of high intelligence as we do, need to make do. So.... One day, a dame with a dome has a bright idea: Advertising Revenue. Then an even better, more refined idea: But a genius idea needs geniuses to buy into it. That’s where you come in. For example, say you’re an overpaid advertising executive. You’re gearing up to promote a dentist, electronics giant, and/or hemorrhoid creme. Or household goods and Sea-Monkeys. I don’t need to explain to you the power of the visual medium. So, without further ado.

Anizo 100% Reality Mind

“Anizo 100% Reality Mind.” What this means, I have no idea. A friend found it living in a vending machine on the street in China and brought it back to Boston for me. The one-inch tall yellow plastic guy (I think it’s a he) has a smile, a blue tear, a pair of hand holes, a growth atop his head pierced clean through, and, on his backside, a man getting squeezed between two lines that I hope do not represent butt cheeks. The warning printed on the paper insert commands, “Do not use as lifeguard equipment.” Anizo and I, we’re inseparable. Anizo 100% Reality Mind!
