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.

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!

Illustration Friday: Hide

Image
Maurice’s cunning helped him evade that hungry field sparrow, and in doing so he discovered something new: his special affinity for flowers. He decided to go for it. He attained his Master’s Degree in floral arrangement from Chicago School of Flower Design. Today Maurice owns and manages a successful retail floral operation behind the shed there, to the left of the plastic green leprechaun. This is my drawing for the Illustration Friday ( IF website ) assignment, this time to illustrate "Hide". Click it for a bigger version.
