Reject du jour: quality time

(Rejected cartoon by Carolita Johnson.)
This cartoon is somewhat embarrassingly perverse, and yet I’ve always loved it. It’s been rejected for the last time today. (Sorry for the scan of a photocopy, but the original is still in the reject pile at the magazine—which, hearteningly enough, means that it actually was considered.)

This one is hilarious in a slightly unsettling kind of way. It is certainly perverse. I have to ask: is the dog male or female?

I guess I imagined it as a male dog—a scary, male dog who gets what he wants, and I imagined that voice to be a really masculine, rough voice. So sick.

Carolita:
This is a funny, solid gag! Love it.
Have you started to shop your wares elsewhere yet?

No time! Will do, eventually. Working on other things!
