So I used to do this recurring thing on Red Eye and also on this blog where I’d mention cartoons I’d draw if I drew cartoons for the New Yorker. They were always kind of purposefully lame with perhaps a wee ribbon of clever in them although really, there was no guarantee of clever. If there was a clever surprise in there you would feel fortunate but realize it was nothing to depend on. Sort of like when the results of any sort of blood test come back and you find out that you’re not dying, if you happen to be a hypochondriac which I’m not but I’ve known a lot of them, some of whom are still alive.
Anyway, I woke up this morning with the following in my head. It’s only semi-amusing if you realize that this was dream logic—it makes little sense in waking life.
Here is the cartoon.
I’m on a corner. A cat is, well, I just realized the cat is positioned “catty corner” (ugh, sometimes my dream brain is so cliche) and the cat has its paw extended as if giving me the right of way. The caption is, “And they say feline chivalry is dead.”
lol! thats funny.
It's bizarre, but I love it. What I don't love is that so far, nobody left any comments. Is everyone still asleep? It's after 10am pacific time….Hello, did Alison not mention she came up with this in her sleep? Most people don't even remember their dreams, much less are able to come up with the idea for a cartoon about a cat speaking about feline chivalry. It gets funnier the more I think about it. lol

yeah.. I don't understand it, because I never had a cat.

I miss your New Yorker cartoons, so that was great!
Do you remeber how one of the fans did drawings of your cartoons? Those were great too.

I do remember! It was Shamrock Republic. You can find some of them if you
keep clicking back through “older entries” in the posts marked “If I drew
cartoons.”
YES — it was Shamrock Republic! How could I forget?

If only I could rap, draw, create websites, perform video streaming services or provide some talent agent services to Alison….then I'd have a useful purpose around this joint! Until then I will enjoy being Joe's nemesis.

Wow, I actually feel kind of useless….but it’s still refreshing to know that I’m Alison’s favorite!
