Aquired

smith-pilcher-801-150522I didn’t realise that I had spelled the word ‘acquired’ incorrectly until after I had scanned in the artwork. Can you spot the repair job I did?

Today’s guest dog is a Pyrenian Mountain Dog (probably spelled incorrectly as well).

Torpedo Jones 2

smith-pilcher-800-150520Jones has form as a feline torpedo. See the sofa series of cartoons from a couple of years ago. Now she’s found a much better launch pad – though it does have the disadvantage that you can’t aim it – you just have to wait for the target to wander in front of the slide.

Cattist discrimination

Smith-Pilcher-718-141110Cattist discrimination: it’s everywhere in the media. You can in see it in movies like Lady and the Tramp, and Cats and Dogs. And now the advertsiers are moving in. Cats are lazy and untrustworthy, they say, so be more dog.

This campaign is for O2, the mobile phone company. Be more dog, be more sociable, be excited by gadgets, do exciting new stuff with mobile phones, and above all, be subservient to your telecommunications overlords or they won’t throw you any bones.

Incidentally, O2 have a quiz where they determine how dog you are. According to O2’s marketing department I am 42% dog, which is about 40% more than I was hoping for. I’m so cat I don’t even have a mobile phone. Why should I want one anyway? Idiots will only ring me up and woof at me.
