Pcottraux's Friday FReeptoon (With the Most Emotional Dinklemeyer)

Hopefully, everyone knows who that is in the right hand side of the last panel, so I don’t have to tell anyone (it should be obvious…can anyone guess?).

And now for two Dinklemeyers tonight, the second one being the most emotional of them all:



Here, I have just introduced the talking pig, and wanted establish some of the rules around him (subtitle included there). He’s a guy who acts smart and intellectual, but is not nearly as smart as he thinks he is. I couldn’t myself explain why only Freddy could hear the pig talk, so I just decided that “that’s just how cartoons are.”

But now for the emotional part. That Dinklemeyer cartoon was drawn on September 10, 2001. The next day, I didn’t draw a usual Dinklemeyer, just this small tribute:



This drawing is a little crude, but in school that day, I drew it as I watched the events unfold on the classroom’s TV. It also marks the first time I signed one of the cartoons.

I wasn't sure if it was a great idea to run that 9/11 pic along with my usually funny stuff, but I decided to anyway.

As usual, the full FReeptoons archive is at the bottom of my home page.

Enjoy.

That poor donkey! The shark is going to drive him crazy.

And the pig is going to drive that guy crazy! Har!

[RockinRight]

I like this one, P. Well done!

[Irish_Thatcherite]

LOL!!

And a nice tribute to September 11.

[pcottraux]

It smudges a little bit, but it works good.

If I ever become professional, I may have to give up pencil.

bravo

[pcottraux]

Thanks.

I wasn't sure if I should run it, but decided to. It helps mix a little emotion in with the usual laughs on these threads.

[pcottraux]

Yeah, when I add this to the archives, I'm going to title it "THe Odd Couple", for both toons (there seems to be a theme going on).

[pcottraux]

Thanks, Rockin.

Will I see you on the singles thread tonight?

[RockinRight]

Sure will!

[Supernatural]

The donkey and the shark definately don't get along. Now, if the shark gets real sloppy...

[pcottraux]

I'm becoming a performance artist so i can crap on the koran in public

You can only get away with stuff like that if it's a Christian symbol.

[Nea Wood]

I love the shark! Especially the clothes you have him wear. LOL

[pcottraux]

THe regular shark and the donkey have a long-standing business-like partnership going on. But the Denmark media shark is a completely different story.

[pcottraux]

Yeah, it was kind of tough coming up with a way to draw a Danish shark. I just had to kind of make it up as I went along.

[pcottraux]

Look forward to it!

[Toby06]

Good stuff!

[pcottraux]

Thanks!
