Right. So we’re back to the in-fill cartoons and the book’s nearly done, art-wise. The last few comics are written, so unless some of you guys write in and tell me something that’s better than what’s already on paper, I’m racing for the finish line for the Stanky Creek book.
Whew!
Y’know what gets me tickled? ACTION WEATHER reports on the local news… when the weather is calm and warm. Because they’re ACTION NEWS, they have to tell you that the weather is balmy, and then warn you to stay tuned in case something… I dunno… El Niños or something. I’m tired of ACTION NEWS. Can we go back to human interest stories and video of local fundraising fairs? 22 minus of murky video of a fire in an abandoned house overnight followed by various murders for three hundred miles in any direction is getting depressing.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Here comes Bluto.
Bluto’s “owner”, it has now been decided, is named Cthula Hanna Belle-Lechter. Cthula to her friends.
Your fine suggestions made it very difficult to make the final decision. I took inspiration from several suggestions, along with my own storytelling devices. You’ll see what I mean as we go.
I think I’ve decided on a tangled skein of storytelling that you guys won’t unravel too quickly. You wish me luck, I’ll wish you luck.
So… ‘Lurlene’ has come up fairly often as Crazy Dog Lady’s name… though the local police dispatch’s name is Lurlene, and I don’t think this lady works with the police. No. And having two Lurlenes might lead to some funny concept humor, but it’s not exactly the way I like to write… There have been some other fine suggestions, though. I think we can come up with something pretty good for Crazy Dog Lady. If you’ve got any more ideas, get ’em in here. I’m still making up my mind.
Here’s a thought I just had while putting the tags on this cartoon. Crazy Dog Lady has been her ‘name’ so far. But that probably won’t do, since she’s so much fun these days.
Anyone want to suggest a few names that might have been hers all along and we just don’t know it yet?
