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'm surprised no one has taken a stab at who the guy in the last panel is.

I know some will no, but no one has come forth yet.

I love the 9/11 one. (although I admit, I read "the most emotional cartoon" and then read the pig one thinking "he must be really attached to that pig!")

Also, I'm always for more sharks!

It could be "Porkback Mountain."

I must have enemies.

I just can't compete with Rush. No matter how hard I try.

I would like to see you incorporate some children's stuff into your cartoons in a humerous way, like the cow jumped over the moon, Humpty Dumpty's fall, Little Miss Muffett gettin scared by the spider, Little Jack Horner, Jack be Nimble, etc. I think you could do something with that.

Well, if it's any consolation, I came here to see the Danish shark BEFORE heading over to the Rush thread. (And I have no idea who the chap in the last panel is. Bill Clinton, perhaps? He'd certainly understand, having to put up with Hitlery all these years.)

You may be right. Ideas usually come after I read about a news event, rather than forward planning (I have a ton of ideas for the strip that I never get to use because I have to stay on news topics).

Still, I was a huge Nursery Rhymes expert as a child. I knew them all by heart. I'd love to try to incorporate something in there like that.

BTW, in the Dinklemeyer cartoons, there will later be a parody of "Charlotte's Web" involving the pig.

I usually find tables to be a pain in the neck to draw, but I did enjoy drawing that picture.

It's Jack Klugman, from "The Odd Couple" TV Show.

Nyuk nyuk nyuk... A Danish Felix Unger. As usual, good job. And the tribute to 911 was touching.

You could also do some parodies of living people. The Rolling Stones come to mind. Keith Richards and Mick Jagger would be perfect targets.

See, I didn't recognize him without a cigar. That's another thing he and Bill Clinton have in common.

Yeah, I was going to do him with the cigar originally, but I couldn't work it in the way I wanted.

Well, technically I do those. I actually have wanted to lampoon "Green Day" for a long time but haven't gotten around to it.
