Dog Eat Doug by Brian Anderson for February 15, 2010

Green Acres is the place to be… farm living is the place for me…. Land spreading out so far & wide…. :)

It’s mighty green…..

It’s a mighty wide open area, guys!

What, no snow?

(Joe-Allen believes everything in the Bible but questions everything in every cartoon. Strange.)

I live in Georgia so that just makes this all the more funny. Nice one Brian!

I have a aunt in Georgia

i live in georgia.

If I had that much land I’d have a bigger house.

The only people for a couple of miles, anyway.

Does it snow in Georgia? I guess that’s a silly question since it keeps snowing in Louisiana, but I mean regularly.

I went back and looked, and the map is totally unreadable to me, even blown up as much as I could. It’s just a bunch of blurry squiggles and words with a state boundary line at the top. It could be anywhere as far as I can tell.

I believe everything in the bible too, and I question everything around me too. seems I’m in pretty good company Joe-Allen.

What did Joe say? Nothing that should have put people’s knickers in a twist!

Awesome artwork!

I should have said ‘I’m in pretty good company with Joe-Allen’

Sophie you have acres to roam.

Joe-Allen “Joe” about 10 hours ago

If they are in Georgia, they went farther south than what was shown on the map Doug’s dad had.

give it a rest physics do not apply to comic strips or cartoons

Maybe the route on the map was merely to the granparents’ house, and the aunt and uncle’s farm lies beyond what what we been led to expect.

I guess it’s another case where the cartoonist’s failure to provide significant details leads to a less-than-satisfactory comic-strip-reading experience.

DAMN YOU, BRIAN ANDERSON!!!

Maybe that map was from the start to the end for the first day of the trip. Then they got up in the morning and traveled some more to get to Georgia. It could happen!

scooterpiepatchwork is probably right. When you’re explaining road maps to an infant and an canine, you don’t want to give them more information than they can handle.

Ignorance is no excuse for a “know-it-all”

it snowed last friday here in georgia.

Good grief you guys are hard on Joe! If someone else had posted what he did would you be jumping down their throat? I simply don’t get it. He’s not a know it all, sometimes he’s spot on in his comments but you guys make him out some kind of ogre!

On those rare occasions when Joe-Allen “Joe” Doty is “spot on” in his comments, it’s generally because he has pointed out something that’s so immediately obvious that any reader over the age of four would be insulted by the insinuation that it could be missed.

On the other hand, he is insistent in his belief that his (limited, provincial, disapproving, literalistic) interpretation of what’s funny or appropriate in a comic strip (or the comments thereon) is the only acceptable view. Once Joe-Allen “Joe” Doty hath said “This is so”, heaven help anyone who dareth suggest otherwise.

He is quick to point out what he perceives as factual errors or misreadings by other posters, yet when he is called on his own errors or misreadings he cries that he’s being persecuted. And when his perceptions of error by others are shown to be groundless, I have never once seen him apologize for, retract, or own up to his offense.

He’s not an ogre, he’s just a hypocritical, judgmental, self-important, ill-informed, pedantic, pontifical, humorless laughingstock.
