If this pooch’s name isn’t “Patches” I’ll eat my hat.

Elvis’ looks were interesting.

He was very handsome, but his face also possessed a somewhat androgenous beauty…. which this picture features.

Cover his nose, and it could almost be the face of a female fashion model… the effect enhanced by his naturally “smoky” eyes.

Yet he didn’t look feminine at all.

His field jacket fits him better than mine ever did me. 😀

Were we discussing fonts a few days ago? This is a really bad one. The “t’s” are almost undecipherable…

They look like C’s.

One of those fonts where the designer is trying too hard to be cute, or maybe thinks it’s original.

I dislike fonts with fixed heights and mixed cases, anyway.

We have upper and lower case letters for a reason.

You don’t get to rethink it or negate it just because you went to graphic arts classes.

And then someone chose to use it…okay, maybe for a cartoon, but a terribly unscholarly choice for conveying information.

Then again, I don’t like the whole poster.

Didn’t recognize the youthful picture, but I probably should have.

His smile stayed the same into adulthood.

I think I was distracted by that ___ hair.
(Choose your own adjective.)

He must have been younger here than he looks…

Because by the time he was as old as he looks in this picture, he was already becoming famous, and didn’t look like this.

Oh, and BTW…. If you don’t recognize the adult, either…

This is …

Yay, another that I recognize the adult picture of. I was a tremendous fan as a kid.

Well, this is a fine kettle of fish.

Or a nice cage of minibassets!

I’m glad BatBasset has his handy dandy tools, and can cut through the bars to free himself and Sparrow.

I’m also glad that Dr. Ratbreth shrunk them to a reasonable thickness for a teensy weensy tool to breach.

Then again, he knew he couldn’t leave the cage large, or our clever caped canines could have just walked out through the open spaces.

But now, how will our two tiny heroes fight back?
No amount of spinach will make those teensy muscles mighty.

I guess they’ll cross that bridge when they come to it.

We’ll just have to wait for them to get there… their stride is suddenly extra small, so it might take a while.

Dum…de… dum….

…..

Somebody make a pot of tea… I’ll bring some cookies…
and we can watch while they work at it.

I feel kind of bad that I can’t reach in and help them… but that would not only break all the rules of Comicdom…

it would probably spoil the next 2 or 3 exciting episodes….

and I don’t want to miss them.

Or lose my job at C&C.

Gee, panel 3 doesn’t have any bars at all on this side; Batbasset’s left foot is even hanging over the floor edge. Who needs tools when you can just walk out? Of course, panel 4 shows the cage with a wall that isn’t there in panel 2, and panel 3 has the floor wider than the top of the cage; so, maybe I’m reading too much into the image details.

☺ I thought the same before realizing that it’s the view from inside the cage.

The outside front of Batbasset’s left foot (right side from this angle) is below the cage floor. That tells me they’re at the edge of it.
