Welcome, everybody…..

Here’s the cozy spot to post your comments for ….

Which you can read on Sherpa:

Awww… Lucille is _blushing…-

I’m glad she takes Arnold’s compliment in the spirit in which it was intended….

Of course she’d rather be his “beautiful, amazing Wonder Woman…”

But she’s Super glad he loves her anyway.

 

BTW… it strikes me that this probably sounded kind of quaint, back in 2008…..

Jerry Van A had no way of knowing that in 2018, Wonder Woman would be so popular..

Yes, Arnie watches in amazement every time as Lucille deftly folds the laundry.

It is a wonder.

Be sure to blow up Stel’s poster to see the three scenes on the right. The burning mansion, the not sure what, and the bassets under the light pole. I am sure they are excerpted from the “Basset Chronicles.”

One hoomin version:

First, to the comic above: There’s a blues song in there somewhere.

Now, to Cleo: It’s a natural. Basset = vampire had to happen. It is a perfect fit. The only question is why did it not happen sooner?

I dunno, that green color…it looks like Cleo got hold of something that even she couldn’t stomach. Claude and Clara have been spoiling her too long on table scraps.

I remember this scary poster!

Unfortunately, not the sort of movie I’ll go to see… sorry Stel.

 

But still…. two handsome stars…. in their prime…

Tommy Curzz, either before, or in his very early, ScienceDiet®ology days….

when his eyes were just starting to glitter with menace…..

Oh… sorry… not supposed to say that?

Well, it does help him look convincingly like a vampire….

( though to me, he looks more like one now….

OK, sorry, no more editorial content….)

 

And the ever-handsome Brad Pittbull…

a decade or so before meeting Basselina Jowlie, and becoming the somewhat haggard sire to her whole menagerie of pups…

the adopted strays, plus their own litter.

He still has that charm, today, though, that I imagine he already displays in this movie.

 

I, too, looked for a human version….. before I knew Dennis had already posted one….

Dennis, yours is in better condition…..

mine has been folded, but displays more of the credits…. not that they’re very legible.

Why do humans keep thinking they can be scary?

A little too much tongue for my liking.

 

I know many of you are wondering why this wasn’t a Rotty Tailwagger production.

Well, RT’s cheapskate producers passed on this project because the asking price for the book rights was too high, but Night “Money Bags” Hawks and Stel “Lights Her Cigars With $100 Bills” Bel flew to Rancho Mirage in the C&C G2 and dropped a lot of coin on Anne Rice’s kitchen table.

All I can say is: EWWWWWWWW!

Having said that, Stel, you really captured the “ewww” factor quite well. From the green Tommy Curzz to the delightful street folks, this looks like it took a lot of work.
