398 – What’s around this corner?

Happy New Year!

I hope you all had a good holiday season. I know I did, and now there's a new addition to my family. Meet Inkspot, a.k.a. "Spotty":

spotty

Kind of fitting for a cartoonist to have a dog that looks he's been spattered with ink, eh? He's about a year old, according to the vet we saw yesterday, and looks like he is probably a beagle mixed with any number of other types of dogs, but with his body type, we're pretty sure there's some dachshund in there somewhere. Basically, he's a short little beagle with dalmatian coloring. Took to my wife and my girls readily enough, but with me... it's taking longer. He probably resents the fact that I still have functioning reproductive equipment, whereas he does not. ;)

I realized yesterday that i passed up a golden naming opportunity for him. Instead of Inkspot (which only my wife really calls him), how about... SPOTTICUS! "I am Spotticus!" "No, I am Spotticus!"

Sometimes the jokes are just for me.

Talk to you all later!

  1. Spotticus is a fun name for a dog.

    With those glowing yellow eyes that demon looks a bit like a red Cobra Commander. Which makes sence if it’s the spawn of a dragon and a demon.

  2. I would assume some kind of heavy doors or guards in front of the portal.

    If those things are not in place, there would be a lot of random people popping out of the corner spoiling incantations (and mood).

    And “oh horror” some of those people would have popcorn.

  3. Inkspot will have his day, when your peacefully slumbering on the couch, he will go get a scissors and snip!

    With the forehead and leg structure I think his grandparents might have some Basset Hound, but probably it is Dachshund (or he could just be a mutant).
