Back to reality

















Every so often I have to do a reality check.  Most cartoonists set up personal perimeters or guidelines and they try to keep inside those guide lines. 
This little comic strip was supposed to be simple minded laugh a day gags with no long running serials. 
The simpler the better.  In my opinion cartoons that have no caption, where the visual cartoon can stand alone with no description is by far the best of the best. 
So many cartoonist have write out cartoon gags as though two people are talking and in my opinion if the caption can be a joke without the drawing than it may as well be just a joke and is not really a cartoon, if that makes any sense.
Today's comic strip is a slight take off on Snoopy's dog house, ever so slightly done.  You may notice also that Bobby the Were Poodle is adapting to his part as a dog even though he is actually a human who transformed to being a Were Poodle after eating some bad french fries the day before the full moon when he would normally change into a run of the mill were wolf or wolf man.
Tomorrow I will be back to doing silly little sight gags that have no relationship from day to day.
