Phydeaux Archives - "Tuttle's" by Sam

Projection

They would appear to be watching “Star Trek” though I’m not really sure which series or movie. Care to guess?

In case I didn’t make it clear, the tune is “Animal Crackers”. The lyrics above were written by my wife.

I have seen doormats that made a play on the name “Matt”. Can the joke go the other direction?

Gee. Can you guess what medical procedure I was preparing for when I drew this one?

My big question about doing this strip was that “don’t sweat it” might be so old no one knew what it meant. Did it anyway.

Some of you may recognize the game Phydeaux and Tuttle are playing. Have you ever played it?

I wasn’t really trying to make a big political point, though one could be made. I just thought “Surveillance State” sounds like a college.

This strip is my annual tribute to one of the greatest cartoonists of all time, Walt Kelly. The tip-off is what Tuttle’s doing.

I once drew a really good illustration for a friend’s Sunday School lesson on that verse in the first panel. The dog didn’t look like Phydeaux.

When first told this joke as a kid, I didn’t get it either. We apparently didn’t use “pass” in any context other than football around my house.
