It’s A Deal
One way I jump start my cartoon writing is to take a scene I know well (meeting, psychiatrist, restaurant) and throw in something random to see what happens.
I do lots of people sitting at tables with paperwork, but it’s always people. So, to challenge myself, I add a dog.
That opens up all sorts of doors. Can the dog talk? What does it want? Where is it’s owner? What if I brought in a cat?
The thing my own dog values above all else is a good tummy rub, so the above cartoon was born. I get a cartoon, and my dog got an extra treat and a tummy rub. Good girl!

Have a nice weekend!
She’s a mutt that’s dumb as a bag of hammers, but the sweetest bag of hammers you’ll ever find.

Another intellectual cartoon with a great sense of humor, that made my day.
Just rub my tummy and I’ll scratch your back…LOL, I really enjoyed this one. Dry humour is my kind of humour, and it doesn’t get much drier than this. Mark, you are a true legend, sir!
