Grass Hugger
This strip is an homage to my pug, Pooj. He absolutely loves to roll around in the grass, and once he finds his spot, he’s quite happy to stay there all afternoon if he could. The pose of Gorr in the last panel is an exact copy of Pooj in his happy spot.
Priceless!!
Thanks, J.P.!
Haha! Grass hugging is great…if you don’t mind the itching afterwards!
And don’t forget the ants!
Ha, ha, that’s brilliant! So cute!
We could all use some grass therapy! I’m glad you liked it, Paul!
Gorr looks like he is having fun, but Pooj is cuter.
I think so, too. But I really put so much of my pug in Gorr, though.
When I looked at the second panel I wondered if you took a few snapshots of Pooj for reference. 🙂
They were drawn from my memory of seeing my pug do that so many times.
Save the planet. Don’t mow your lawn. I just heard that blade of grass scream.
It’s cruel what we do to our lawns!
Clearly, you are working from a great deal of experience. 🙂
Indeed I am, Michael. It happens almost every day!
What an awesome juxtaposition, seeing your strip above the pic of Pooj. Great job! (I mean, duh, you ALWAYS do a great job:)
Thanks so much, Stephen. Who can resist watching a dog snuggle in grass? It’s mesmerizing, really!
I like the mood and the color on your strip, Mark, but what I really enjoy is the ease of just typing “z” into my browser and being directed here immediately by auto-complete. So simple. -v
Appreciate the nice words, Vince! I’m happy that my work is so accessible in your browser!
Lawns as back scratchers, I’ve tried it, not nearly as much of a cute factor as the dog! [smirk]
Grass just gives you more to scratch about. Dogs don’t seem to mind, though.
Dogs and grass on a nice day. A fun combo to watch.
Yea, they make you want to join them!
Pooj must be a wealth of inspiration for ol’ Gorr!
Where do I begin, lol? Really, just about everything Gorr does is partially or fully inspired by Pooj!
My cat is a bona fide carpet hugger!
Ha, and when they get their claws dug in, that’s one mighty snug hug!
Dogs just love rolling. Especially on stinky things!
Pooj looks like he’s having a great time.
There’s no telling what stinkiness he’s rolling in at this very moment!
Pooj! Pugs! My favorite dog! And GORR!
I’m partial to pugs myself, Jack! Makes me happy you like Gorr so much, too!
Gorr & Pooj sure love grass. Dixie doesn’t roll or lie on the grass. She usually goes out for a trot around to patrol the yard then comes back inside
She’s a non-invasive grass lover!
Minor spelling error — it should be “bona fide”.
Fixed it, Aracona! Thanks so much for letting me know!
Aah! Great way to ruin a recent bath. Just what my Coco does as soon I finish bathing her! Now I’m doing it myself but this time it’s on the beach in sand!
You’re a bona fide beach hugger, Joseph!
Careful. You don’t know where that grass has been.
That’s just what Gorr is hoping for, I think!
