RE: It’s a very sad day in New Zealand
Thanks. I was a Peanuts fan also.
Footrot Flats was a bit like Peanuts, but the characters, particularly the animals, were a bit more realistic in the things they got up to.
So less of Snoopy flying in his doghouse, more of the Dog trying to get into the 'bitches box' (a box to put a female dog into when they are in heat to protect them from all the neighborhood hounds) then Jess was in heat.
..... and the puppies that followed when he succeeded. ;-)
Yes, does sound like a little more realism... ;) :)
Are there any short cartoons on YouTube that might give me "the flavor" of Footrot Flats?
Did Murray Ball do any comic strips like Peanuts?
Murray did a regular comic strip in many local papers and they eventually got turned into books, and finally a movie.
Here is a quick image search that shows some of the cartoon strips.
