LOVE THAT. Back in college I used to get into arguments with an avowed Communist. We’d have a heated argument about politics, but then talk friendly about other topics. I once mentioned this cartoon (which was very popular back then) as an analogy of the two of us, and he busted up. First and only time I’ve seen a Communist laugh.
By the way, on that cartoon, after punching in for the day, the Sheep Dog would beat the crap out of the Coyote, and then the whistle would blow and they would have lunch together...and then pick up the fighting until quitting time, and punch out.
Did he ever grasp that he was Ralph?
