Always with the Yeats. Mrs Hines’ fault?
Love your work Mr Onthemoon. One of my favourite all time cartoons ever.
Mr Onthemoon. That well known, bon vivant /philosopher/cartoonist.
Has, yet again, HIT ONE OUT OF THE PARK!!!!
Pure gold and a definite keeper for next year’s calendar FD.
Interstitialexistentialism.
Ta.
Just love you today First Dog.
God damn that was good.
excellent! excellent! excellent!!! big tick!
Waxing whimsically philosophical Mr Onthemoon. Not even sure if I spelled that right. Don’t care if I spelled that right. Loved todays offering - makes it all feel ok then.
You’ve so eloquently reminded me of that interminable chasm between the bell ringing and the teacher formally dismissing us. The urge to flee the classroom was unbearable, I can relive it even now.
All tiny stitches in the big quilt of life! And I hate it when some fall apart.
The space in between …. two TS Eliots ……..

The reply box needs spaces to work properly - just like us.
@ Buzz that’s just modern orthography. One of the really confusing things about classical, medieval and even some Renaissiance manuscripts is they don’t use spaces.
And as a popular crooner once pointed out:
There is a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in.
The aforesaid.
Pure gold Mr Dog, pure gold!

Thanx for sox.
i agree. nice.
Don’t mind the gap. Keep the gold rolling Mr Moondog.
Please Mr Onthemoon
I would like to order frame 5 on a big white tee shirt as a patch on the front and is it possible with a first dog or crikey signature rhs under frame to be visible.
I suggest frame 7 would make a fabulous tee shirt print repeatedly spaced placed this way and that on a tee of the colour of the background including with text large enough to read within conversation range of another person on a bus … one or two on at least one sleeve so as one is visible when wearer strap hanging.
Those items I offer to save for especially towards your support as an Australian artist and to buck up my wardrobe.
Kind regards, Mr On
:so cool: 
‘shoe
frame 6… not frame 7!
thank you.
[Dear Comrade Shoe - The t-shirts are done at Redbubble and have certain limitations. To whit (to whoo) you can have an image on the front OR on the back. That’s it.
Also frame 5 probably wouldn’t reproduce well as it is all glowy and blue. So if you want to have a think about it and suggest another confabulation of image/position I will be happy to accommodate them accordingly or otherwise. Cheers.
Mr Dog]
Dear Mr. Dog
The boat’s in tomorrow.
Mr Dog, can you do the crowd scene (frame 6 holus bolus) on the back? I guess I’d settle for including or without text on a strong-green cotton tee — or on a port-wine or failing that bright-red red tee.
The whole of frame 5 wouldn’t produce v well because of the blue … maybe overwhelm it at best… mmm.
I’ll order the dog out of the catalogue asking as well if you’re going to eat all that… that’ll be good on the front for meetings.
It’ll be tomorrow when the boat docks.
Thank you, comrade
‘shoe.
ps: And I’m going to make some overalls out of some curtain fabric I know is on rolls down Salvos. That was why as well I was asking if you can print sleeves. xx
Frame 7 is just a space you nutty plimsol
are you suggesting that ‘whatever comes next’, whatever it may be, may be pants-less? Now that’s parliamentary reform…
a wee scattered moment there i thought SBH called me a primrose and that’d be stretchin’ a friendship of corse of corse a horse is a horse plimsol but i didn’t ‘see’ the spelling plimsoll thank you indebted SBH I read by shape of words never thought of that before and love nutty.
we’d be a lesser world without the nutty ones old shoe, sorry about the missing ‘L’
