A Funny Animal Crossover Event

"Sheldon Mayer Week" rolls on with a bit of a curiosity, a Dizzy Dog story with cameos from The Crow from "The Fox And The Crow" and Fenimore Frog from "The Dodo And The Frog." You'll also see a later version of McSnurtle The Turtle, who, in an earlier incarnation, oft donned a winged helmet as The Terrific Whatzit, a funny animal version of the Golden Age Flash. Enjoy!

Doodles Duck Goes To Africa

There are a lot less rewarding ways one can spend their time than by enjoying the cartoons of the genius Sheldon Mayer. You could start a war. You could bilk people out of their hard-earned money. You could become a corrupted and/or ineffectual member of Congress. The world is full of examples of evil that men do, with or without good intentions. Sheldon Mayer's work is an example of the good one man can do. They are not irrelevant. They are the opposite of irrelevant. His strips sparkle with charm, style, and whimsy, qualities that humanize us, separate us from the beasts in the woods. We can all learn a lot from the comics of Sheldon Mayer. Are you ready?
