I refuse to believe no one's pointed this out to you for years.) <BR/><BR/>And then, there's this:<BR/><BR/><I>Mallard’s allergic to cats and dogs.</I><BR/><BR/>Oh. Well.<BR/><BR/>In Wednesday's strip, Dickfa--I mean, Penis-Chin Chet plays straw-man so Tinny can coyly equate "cultural diversity" with "mongrelism." See, Tinsley didn't say it <I>exactly that way</I> and certainly didn't say it <I>himself</I>; Chet did! So he's NOT a bigoted scumbag at all!!<BR/><BR/>...YOU ARE!BillyWitchDoctorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14311279565432013472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33297721.post-63073102232145458712007-11-06T22:53:00.000-08:002007-11-06T22:53:00.000-08:00This strip is silly.

The people I've known who have paid for dogs include people who require a poodle due to allergies, people who have rescued abused animals from pet stores by just buying the poor guy, and the people who needed to have a small dog for reasons including it being part of their housing code and were unable to find a little dog at the shelters.<BR/><BR/>And guess WHAT, good breeders are hardworking enterprising Americans. Aren't conservatives supposed to be for that type of person?<BR/><BR/>As for me, I'm apathetic to dogs, but two out of three cats were rescued after being abandoned. The third was bought from a pet store owner with a very good reputation (he kept any cats not bought and followed up on the ones who were) to support his business.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33297721.post-15737334481740416202007-11-06T14:14:00.000-08:002007-11-06T14:14:00.000-08:00I barely know about the Ellen thing - mostly from ...I barely know about the Ellen thing - mostly from other people making fun of her.

Slob. <BR/><BR/>Never mind the psychotic idea of a duck owning a dog, or the Goofy/Pluto Paradox presented by a talking, clothed poultry having a pet canine; we know Tinsley can't draw a dog to save his life.<BR/><BR/>Mallard should get a Toyger. The Toyger would eat Mallard. Then Tinny could return to his true love; wandering around the streets plastered out of his gourd. Happy end for everyone!<BR/><BR/>Speaking of Tinsley's past dog-related strips; if you haven't already, look up "Mutts" for November 4th. See <I>that</I>, Tinny?
