One Big Happy by Rick Detorie for December 07, 2017

And these are the folks who are going to take over and run the world?

That’s the Pluto – Goofy Paradox, probably as old as Disney cartoons themselves. Variations of it are mentioned frequently. For example, in the movie Stand by Me and the Stephen King novel The Body on which the movie was based:

Pluto was relegated to dwarf planet status in 2006. (Oops, I just saw the 2003 copyright notice.)

Joe’s also asking Grandpa a lot of questions in today’s strip at Creators.com and at Arcamax.com.

Let’s start with Horace, a talking horse, while there’s still horses around.

and when do we get to Uranus? {giggle}

When you can’t answer a question, stage a filibuster. Joe’s future in politics is secure.

Anyone know what ever happened to Horace Horsecollar?……and Petunia Pig? you don’t see them anymore!

Joe just like Ruthie, distracted by homework.

This dilemma was solved two days ago in Thatababy!

Who puts “Pluto” on a spelling test anyway?

How about the characters in the strip “Pluggers?” (I love that strip.) They are clearly animals, but they also have pets…guess you shouldn’t over-think a cartoon.

And what about that one Huckleberry Hound cartoon where Huckleberry was the dog catcher?
