meandering footprints
That is a wonderful image you conjure up of the meandering footsteps of your new cat friend.
You also capture the beauty of the snow covered neighborhood so well with your words.
As a self described expert of all things cartoon, I have to know if you meant the "Family Circus" cartoons instead of Dennis the Menace. At least that was the cartoon series that first popped into my mind (which happens to be full of cartoons on a 24 hour basis anyways!)
Dennis
hey this is fun! But nope, I'm just pretty darn sure it was Dennis. I won't try to calculate how long ago this would have been. But they repeated the theme many times, I believe.
Phone ringing (playing, actually)...
Dennis goes about town
There's little footprints, in a small town, going from here to there. I'll ask someone OLD if they remember, and get back to you. But I like this one too. Kids are reliably kids, aren't they?!
Appreciate that
Forgot to say thanks, for the nice remark on the blog. That always feels good. Tell me are you doing your cartoons commercially or what's the program for your talent, these days? Maybe blog it for people? Or...put it on your profile? If it's related to your Tools vision of a future...
I stand corrected!
WB, I stand corrected. I had remembered the recurring theme in Family Circus, which appeared countless times (and has been parodied countless times as well - just stumbled across this one which is thematically attractive to someone with my bend towards comic-book heroism ;) )
The Thing! I LOVE the thing!
How hilarious to see Ben The Thing down there. I just saw the movie The Fantastic Four about a month ago. Ben was my hero, when I was a kid. I'd forgotten he had the option to turn his back on his friends and Saving The World in order to recover his normal body. I think Family Circus is sweet. Whereas Dennis was always stirring up trouble.
