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.
Poultry in motion. Yes, it’s a lot like the previous Friday’s ‘toon. I actually drew them both on the same day. Couldn’t decide which I liked better, so I ran them both.
My first thought was a “feeling down” joke that might have been inappropriate. I like this one better. And since Flatfoot’s girlfriend is a chicken, that kind of ruined the first joke, anyway.
I really did think of this one in January. I thought about writing a note to myself and doing the strip next December, but I never see such notes again.
I started drawing Beaver with his tail up just to indicate that he is a beaver. But then, I realized real beavers didn’t do that. Mostly I don’t care (because they don’t wear caps, operate restaurants or get in fist-fights with possums, either) but then I started wondering WHY would this particular beaver carry his up like that? Now you know.
