Maybe a little….to me, a lot of music composed for movie Westerns have a certain “sound” to them–maybe to connote the majesty of the old West. For the endless plains filled with danger, it probably needed full orchestration and a lively tempo, perhaps. But, it didn’t automatically make me think of “Bonanza”…only when you mentioned it.
“Sous Chef”. Good one!
I drop by from time to time, especially when it’s time to celebrate a birthday, or to check on other readers. Off for a few days camping with the kids and grandkids. Lots of fun (if I survive 😉 Maybe the hardest part is getting my wife packed. {^¿^}
Looks like a little help from Nighthawks, as well.
Nice work, you guys.
…
It’s this the first John Whine movie we’ve had a poster for?
One of fairly few I’ve never seen.
I hear the revival will be at the BassetplexII this coming week.
Can you get us any comps, Stel? Nighthawks? We can all go together…. and I’ll buy your kibblecorn!
…
You guys know I love researching films… especially the back stories, intrigues, cast relationships, etc.
Call it gossip if you like… I think of it as historical.. um… scholarship.
But I found little about this one.
The only tidbit I dug up was that relatively unknown Mikey Anderhound was brought in to replace originally hired, much more famous teen pup Tommy Kirkhound, who was arrested for catnip possession at a party…. much more scandalous then.
Today it’s legal in many states, and young stars often quite openly use it.
….
The thing I did find baffling is that, despite the similar name, and the pictures, both here and in Hollywood at the time of the original publicity, this film appears to have nothing to do with Katie Olderdog.
It seems to be very loosely based on the true story of another family altogether… The four Margrowl brothers had, not the same, but a somewhat similar tale, that unfolded in Texas around the same time.
Maybe “The Sons of Martha Margrowl” just didn’t seem to have the right ring to it.
…
Meanwhile, the real Katie Olderdog, the poor, swindled, sainted mother, whose misfortunes the brothers in this movie sought to revenge or at least rectify….
was by turns a prostitute, madam, saloon owner, a gunslinger in her own right, and mistress and possibly legal mate to Dog Holidog, famed dentist turned gambler and gunman of the Old West.
well, we watched ”horse soldiers” last night. maybe this rendition of ”puppies of katie older” will be next. great music, guys. i’ve got my earworm for the day.
Wow this human rip-off poster looks so comic compared to the near photo quality of the original Hal Wallleash production
NOSE!
Ghost Writers in the Sky are on strike right now.
LOL You’re on fire tonight!
Basset movie star John Whine, known for his cowboy-hatted, usually “good guy” roles in many, many a western.
His friends and family often called him by his original puppy name, “Duke”.
I’m a big Dino Barkin’ fan. To me it’s Dino who makes this movie great.
Puppies, look over your shoulders! They’re coming up behind you!
I knew they needed another lookout!
The theme music seems to have the same orchestration as “Bonanza.”

I see/hear the similarity too.
Fish.
OK, I see it now.
Same.
Had to stare for a few moments then it suddenly materialized.
i saw it! i saw it!
17.
No… But please use a spoiler tag!
It was just a joke!
Oh!
Sorry… Hard to tell.what’s a joke sometimes, since we have no sarcasm font.
Especially when it looks like an actual guess
It’s two of the three correct numbers!
571
Wow, shouldn’t she have some clothes on?! This is a family site.
One of my favorite Duke movies.
‘coz it has Dino!
I hope I haven’t posted this one before. There are so many ways it could be interpreted:
Anyone want to try some more interpretations?
Where have you been? Everything OK?
“Eggbeater” is the name of the sous-chef.
It’s their own fault they never noticed there aren’t any chicken(s) around.
Or cattle.
“Sous Chef”. Good one!

Looks like doggie MRI time.
CAT scan…
Ah, yes.
Then the exam tech makes a Lab report.
They finished their cat scan, nope, didn’t find any.
No wonder they’re looking up hungrily. Din-din??? Cats for did-din???
Sorry Perkycat, the devil made me do it.
Another great poster from StelBel.
Looks like a little help from Nighthawks, as well.
Nice work, you guys.

I meant to say this earlier, but my brain keeps falling asleep.
I actually posted it already, early Wednesday evening, right before today’s strip came out…
but I don’t think many of you saw it.
I heard from Perkycat!
The news is good… Here’s part of her message to me:
“He is doing better.He’s in a rehabilitation hospital and will be there at least 3 weeks before coming home.
I’m spending most of my time there ~ helping
him and learning how to help him when he comes home.”
….
She said, also, that she hadn’t been able to pay any attention to the comics recently… and may not till her husband comes home.
So… she may or may not see yesterday’s greetings soon, but I’m sure she will eventually, and appreciates that people are thinking about her.
Perky, if you ever see this, as I already wrote to you, I’m so glad for the news… Thanks.
Good news!
great news, indeed. thanks for your update!!!
well, we watched ”horse soldiers” last night. maybe this rendition of ”puppies of katie older” will be next. great music, guys. i’ve got my earworm for the day.
Vaughn Monroe!!!!!!
