Another New Yorker cartoon

Possibly we could all use an epiphany.... 

I can't explain why I am so enchanted with small animals, but I am. Probably comes from my childhood when my friends and I had mice, hamsters and Guinea pigs. 

We would build elaborate mazes using paper towel and toilet paper tubes, boxes, anything that could be taped together to create a habitrail long before habitrails where produced. We spent hours doing this. Whether the animals thought this was fun or not, we'll never know. But to this day I have a soft spot in my heart every time a see a rodent - especially anything having to do with a wheel to nowhere.

The Smoking Police





The problem is, it might just happen here in Michigan!

An excerpt from this week's New Yorker




This is from Animal Tales by Simon Rich










DALMATIANS

"Hey, look the truck's stopping."
"Did they take us to the park this time?"
"No-it's a fire. Another horrible fire."
"What the heck is wrong with these people?"

I often wonder what dogs must think of us. It looks like Simon Rich does too.

Incidentally, this is how a dalmatian smiles. Who knew?

For those that know me, you know I love food (and dogs). I love eating food, I love cooking food and I'm trying my hand at growing vegetables for the first time this year. 

Food and I are good friends. Well, that is, good food. And food that never had a head, which is why I find humor in this and a tiny bit of horror, too. 

It's another cartoon from the cartoon bank at The New Yorker magazine.

Another definition of art...



This is from The New Yorker Cartoon Bank which I subscribe to. I get a new dog/cat cartoon each day. It's fun! You can, too!
