Mainly, this is a comment on the stupid stuff we are offended by these days.
If you would like to see these cartoons before they appear online, contact your local newspaper and tell them to get “Doctor Tuttle”! Then you would have seen this strip on or before Thanksgiving instead of a week later.
The punchline was almost that her name was “Eastern Star” but then I thought this was funnier.
I think this came about as my wife was telling me about a spelling bee at her school. I also thought about doing it as a riff on Aunt Bee.
The first two were easy, but it took me a while to come up with a third tool (and its problem). It just didn’t seem complete with only two tools.
I did get tired of the counter motif. Sorry Zippy.
This cartoon has been received quite well. Everyone seems to think they should go with the “Duck, Sucka!” name, though.
Inspired by actual events. FYI, banana pudding is not good on Triskets.
Yes, the first few words were inspired by Walt Kelly. After that, it’s all mine.
Now I want to try this. Make the cone out of Fritos, and a layer of cheese over the top. Yummm!
