Red Ferret pink again eh.
Nice one Lord Moonton! That chart at the end is information graphics at its best.
I like our Lord’s chameleon-like eyelids too. I’m told he can clean his eyeballs with his tongue.
Also good was the question in the Crikey Readers Survey, where an option was to tick ‘I just read the cartoon’. I’m afraid I couldn’t truthfully tick it because I look at the pictures as well as read it.
It looks a little bit like the funny grey dog might be doing something else to the Good Lord Monckton’s foot.
ERN MALLEYS CAT: I had the same problem and thought it was rotten that Crikey didn’t make this a multiple choice question!
EVAN BEAVER: If I am not mistaken the funny grey dog is, if fact, the figure of Christ-without his halo-with whom Stephen Fielding is always in deep converse.
Thank you FD. When I woke up this morning and turned on Jon Fain…..
I thought I was having a bad dream.
It seems I was.
P.S. Glad I’m not alone in running out of pissed offedness.
In the Supreme Court of Crikey
Between: The Estate of Buzz Plaintiff
And: First Dog on The Moon Defendant
1. On or about 1 February 2010 the Defendant negligently failed to warn the deceased Plaintiff of the existence, in his column, of graphic visual images to which it was reasonably foreseeable a female reader might have a strong reaction.
2. As a result of the Defendant’s negligence the said Plaintiff suffered serious trauma, the particulars of which included respiratory distress, visual anguish and nervous shock.
3. She died laughing, her last words being: “He’s no Matt Shirvington”.
PS: Here I am accusing FD of using the same dog twice!
Psst…Venise…..You haven’t heard???
On the third day, that gray dog rose again.
He’s bloody immortal.
At least he’s not as bad as that zombie Monkton, who just keeps leaping out of weird places (like the A.B.FrigginC) and trying to eat my brains.
Paddy, yeah but rising again to scratch Monckton’s foot whilst posing as John Faine? You don’t think this is akin to Buddhism in a bile-raising sort of way?
Spot on about the ABFrigginC. In fact I am outraged by them. The reason I watch them is I have a short fuse and an even shorter tolerance of ads. Now I am so jack of said corporation saturating the air waves with its own promos that I’m re-running the entire series of Spooks for the fourth time. Grrrrrr!!!!!
I just noticed the ‘click here for nerdy types to pore over the little arrowy bits that are often the funniest bits in First Dog cartoons’.
Thanks from a reasonably low-res monitor owner.
Goodness me EMC. That’s the cruellest thing I’ve ever heard anyone say about Mr A’s budgie.
Paddy: Shrieks of coarse laughter from yours truly.
I wish I only had a limited amount of pissed-offness.
Paddy: Cracking post lad!
Dear Mr On-the-moon
When you create ‘My Reasons to be Angry - Part Eleventy First ’ could you give a cameo to Bilbo Baggins, the most famous ever eleventy- one year old?
Hey Venise, what the fuck is it with the ABC these days ? The web site has totally gone to shit and ABC TV’s unwatchable. That leaves a bit of SBS between the ads - and a focus on the death toll in a gazillion wars and tempests overseas.
Woody Allen’s minor classics festival at our place. (with the exception of “September” - which is a real stinker).
I’m thinking of giving up on the NEWS as a moronic downer and relying totally on FDOM to keep me informed.
Do you think he can take the massive responsibility ?
I thought for a moment it was Plimer humping Monckton’s leg …
Mike: Amen brother. I think the right-wing members on the ABC board-the ones put in place by our beloved (Ha!) John Howard didn’t get arsed off the board by the Rudd government and that they’re beavering away, successfully, waiting for the day when the Coalition gets back into power. That’s my theory!
I hope Mr Onthemoon can take the massive responsibility because it is being thrust upon him by we the noble citizens of Oz. Trumpet calls and massed yodelling to follow.
What’s wrong with old people? *quavers*
@Evan Beaver: I read it as “root rub” … go figure
Can I just warn other old people like myself who might enlarge the cartoon to read the tiny words next to the arrowy bits - beware of the last frame with the smugglers. EEEWWWW!!!!! Even WORSE when magnified.
