Dog Eat Doug by Brian Anderson for October 28, 2016

If it’s a squirrel, where’s the dog?

Hello, my baby,

Hello, my doll.

The song is “Hello Ma Baby” ….

I’se got a little baby, but she’s out of sightI talk to her across the telephoneI’se never seen my honey, but she’s mine all rightSo, take my tip an’ leave this gal alone

Ev’ry single morning you will hear me yell“Hey, Central, fix me up along the line”He connects me with ma honey, then I rings the bellAnd this is what I say to baby mine

Hello, ma baby, hello, ma honeyHello, ma ragtime galSend me a kiss by wireBaby, my hearts on fire

If you refuse meHoney, you lose meThen you’ll be left alone, oh babyTelephone and tell me I’se your own

This morning through the telephoneShe said her name was BessAnd now I kind of know where I am atI’se satisfied because I’ve got my babe’s addressHere pasted in the lining of my hat

I am mighty scared, ’cause if the wires get crossed’Twill seperate me from my baby mineThen some other coon will win her and my game is lostAnd so each day I shout along the line

Hello, ma baby, hello, ma honeyHello, ma ragtime galSend me a kiss by wireBaby, my hearts on fire

If you refuse meHoney, you lose meThen you’ll be left alone, oh babyTelephone and tell me I’se your own

Yes…Hello, my baby…first thing I thought of!

I started singing rag-time gal too!

OMG! I was thinking of that damn singing frog too, even before I scrolled down.

Michigan J. Squirrel

We love watching our squirrels. Now I’ll imagine them doing all sorts of cool things when not being watched! This strip put me in mind of The Far Side one with a herd of cows standing around on two legs, one of them hollers ‘CAR!’ and they drop to all four feet on the ground ; )

… send me a kiss by wire, baby my heart’s on fire …

Ha and you should see the squirrels outside of my house.

“Send me a kiss by wire, tell me your hearts on fire;” I loved that cartoon with Michigan J. Frog – now that’s song is gonna’ drive me crazy all day…
