ha ha that pickle with eyes has a good perspective. btw if every cartoon had Kevin Rudd’s pets you could rest assured that they were all awesome. Which they are. Esp anything with Jasper.
Oh you insufferable wanker FD. How typical of you indeed.
That last panel has just caused mayhem!!
FFS!! There’s coffee all over my brand new widescreen monitor.
And it’s all your fault!!
Orrr, Doggy !
Christian Landers (father of the famous “Stuff White People Like” Blog and NYT Bestseller - but not a Walkley winner) said that he stopped reading the posts on his articles because “The praise lasts an hour but the criticism lasts a whole month”.
Damned fine advice, I’d say.
You can always come over to the Pig’s Arms for a break…… I’ll get granny to fix you up with a bowl of Pal…..
There’s a good boy !
FD you are a beautiful being, starring in your own United States of FD….
Kevin Rudd’s pets are awesome. Abigail juxtapositions Jasper magnificently. Good to see your accurate reporting of editor at large Jonathon Green failing to support you as per usual.
Furthermore you make me laugh and the whimsical and magical ‘Emily and the creature’ T-shirts are Christmas presents for the family. You are genuinely funny just sometimes esoteric, but that makes it all the more enjoyable.
Cheer up just think of all those people wearing all those T-Shirts! I don’t know how many times people have stopped me to read the ‘4 Exitensilist givens’ and then said ‘I don’t get it’. Then I laugh and my laugh is worth more than money in the bank to me.
I’m outraged!
And I don’t even get it!
FD, I’m sure the praise must outweigh the criticism. If not, it should.
BTW, has JGreen always been a frog, or did it only happen after the first time you drew him as one?
First Dog: Rest assured that we know you are wonderful.
Ah the angst of self-recrimination! Ah the delirium of joy of self-worth!
Kevin Rudd’s pets are fantastic-especially Jasper.
Last Sunday night, at the Chun Po restaurant, yet another man demanded me to show and tell. I was wearing my green, short-sleeved “Mother Theresa in a can” t-shirt. He thought you were a raving genius. That makes three times its happened.
Once in St Kilda Road, navy-blue “Steve Fielding”. The guy screamed with laughter. and twice at the Chun Po. Once as above, and once with Jasper swatting his victim, also navy-blue. And, FD it’s still winter. What will it be like in summer when I don’t have a coat on?
I’m trying to work out what’s different about Jonathan.
I’ve just shot off to the post box; on the way back I almost knocked over an old lady who forgave me when she read your “The End of the Age of Oil”
I hate to say it, but PADDY nailed it when he/she said ‘You are a terrible wanker”.
@beckanock I am not a pickle.
Interesting perspective on this one FD: now that you are a figure of idolatry yourself, and your praise can be inspirational, or your derision devastating, do you need to cultivate more niceness into your continuing hilariousness?
JONATHAN: You are a toad, or is it a frog?
JONATHAN: I know what else you could be, but I haven’t got the guts to say it.
FDOTM ! Human, modest, egotistic, hilarious and, at the very end, excruciatingly honest and disrupting of the whole cartoon scenario…….luv ya! Vxx
first dog, are you ok?
Dear Penny, no he’s not ok. Thank God.
So here it is Doggy: The race is only with yourself. And the winner is not the guy with the most toys at The End according to James, it’s simply getting there.
Take Brendan. He was a successful lawyer with a beautiful family. I remember him in school always in the front seat, bigger than life, a big peircing laugh. Then he meets this crazy bikie guy on drugs in Melbourne CBD. It didn’t even matter if he was there for good or bad. It should but it didn’t.
See you on the road Doggy.
Please, please don’t change! I may not understand all, but I love them anyway! I even have a Brendan’s hair sticker on my car that many people don’t understand - but it’s mine and it came from you.
Please, please don’t change!
Venise, cast any more nasturtiums at my manliness….and I’ll turn into a friggin unicorn and kick your dunny door down. Hrrmph!!
ROFLMAO ‘That Pickle with eyes’ that shall be how I shall always send my cranky letters to Mr Green now… “Dear Pickle with green eyes”
“Pickle with eyes” ROFL!
Many moons ago, when I too was employed as a Terribly Talented Artisty Type, sometimes paddling in a sea of dullard just-don’t-get-it-ers, I was sustained by a tattered little clipping from a free weekly music paper that I had taped to my computer.
The anonymous (perhaps one day to become sub-walkley famous) cartoonman had depicted two dogs looking at a computer screen. One says ‘That’s not funny’, the other says ‘Fuck off’. It was the funniest thing I’d ever seen.
The only funnier thing was when one day someone peered over my shoulder, waited a while, and said ‘I don’t get it’.
You still haven’t gotten over this year’s AFL finals yet, have you FD? At least you won the Crikey Cup.
FD, you have just knocked Mr Rundle off of 1st place on my top-10 list of cunce I’d most like to have a beer with … For a dog, you are just soooo deeply human.
PADDY: Eeek! Right, nasturtiums are out and apologies are in.
Hup two three four, ‘tention! About face. Yes sir!
Je t’aime. Your soul that is.
