Ol’ George #79
Notes on #79:
1. It’s quite possible Irma never even noticed that George and Chester went vertical (which also happened in #63 and #75). She liked #78 because Chester revealed George’s many flaws, which she sees through every day.
2. I find it quite adorable that my characters think they have any agency in their lives. But I’m most surprised by George, who revealed to Balonious way back in the legendary episode 35 (7/1/25), that the puppet master is me. It’s all in service of the gag.
3. It wasn’t enough to give us Bugs Bunny in the ‘30’s. Fred “Tex” Avery also brought into the world Droopy Dog for MGM in 1943 (original name: Happy Hound.) You have to read Droopy’s line in his voice. If you can’t, find a friend who can. If that doesn’t work, get better friends.
4. This is the most characters I’ve used in a single strip, 11, one one-off guest star and ten recurring regular cast members. Well, it’s only the second time for Wendell and Charlie, but they’re in the club now!
5. Will Ol’ George be all vertical, no horizontal from now on? The vote was to be unanimous and Droopy spoiled it. Sorry if I forgot that part. It will shift on the whims of I, the Puppet Master, boo-hoo-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!
