There are some cartoon characters who start out in the funnies and then show up in books. For example, there’s Little Orphan Annie. It was a daily comic strip written and drawn by Harold Gray. It ran for 86 years, ending in June 2010. We don’t have to miss it, though, as Governor Jan Brewer has taken her place. Makes sense to me, as Governor Jan sorta looks like a Leapin’ Lizard. You probably heard the sad story Jan tells about her father dying while fighting the Germans in World War II. Such a good story. Too bad it wasn’t true…

Dondi was another character from the comics. He was an orphan, too, and like a lot of other cartoon characters, he never grew up. Sort of like Rod Blagojevich…
There are some characters that started out as cartoons on television, but they still made their way into books. Here’s an example…
Original book cover

HYSTERICAL RAISINS 
Thank you for Boehner… 🙂
Somehow he fits perfectly as a good for nothing pot smoking glutton… (no offense to Shaggy)
i don’t think shaggy would mind. he’s usually pretty mellow. 🙂
I preferred Sarah Michelle Gellar as Daphne. Batshit Bachmann wishes she were so sexy.
batshit bachmann really does think she’s that sexy. watch her. she’s constantly in flirt mode.
Yeah, she’ll even try to flirt with Keith Olbermann by proxy. Keith found out and did a spit take.
did you see her interview on cnn? watch her as she turns her attention to the male interviewer. maybe she thinks she can cross her legs enough to mesmerize him into thinking what she says is pure and utter bullshit…
Sharon Stone must be so proud.
😆 you thought of that, too? 😆
Bachmann DESERVES a Basic instinct photoshop job… This girl was born to hold an icepick…:)
😆
Boehner portrayal fitting as Maynard G Krebs. Who’s playing with McConnell’s groin or ass?
that’s shaggy, not maynard, but ooooh, maybe a dobie gillis poster in the future? 😉
I knew it was Shaggy, but meant to say that he would fit as maynard g krebbs … nonetheless … glad the dobie gillis idea came forth … but how many will even know the reference … but hey, that’s the fun and challenge. 🙂
sorry, afa, i shouldn’t post in a hurry. i wanted to answer you before shutting off the computer and getting ready to head home. my entire room is in complete disarray right now, and i can’t find my to-do list. i’ll try to remember to add dobie gillis to it, but don’t hesitate to remind me, especially if someone worthy of being dobie and/or maynard is in the news. 😀
i think the dog – Sandy – would run away from Janny
sandy would probably have bitten her. however, that poor little chihuahua is just hoping that nobody asks him for him papers.
Maynard G. Krebbs made me what I am today. And learning to stay up late an watch Steverino. Smock, smock!
my memory of dobie gillis is very cloudy. here’s what you need to know about maynard.
I’d forgot about his spaz attacks when the word work was mentioned, but I remember the puppy dog pajamas!
i didn’t remember work! until i was looking at the videos.
