Comic Sunday: Dummo Mouse and Cartoon Animal Violence

Cartoon animal violence has always been kind of funny. Whether it was cat vs. mouse, duck vs. rabbit, road runner vs. coyote, or ant vs. aardvark, my childhood/adult years were filled with watching cartoon animals commit hilarious atrocities against each other on television. Cartoon animals in comic strips, however, usually weren’t quite so bloodthirsty. They were more likely to try non-violent but clever means to achieve their goals, or they might even have philosophical discussions (those were often kind of boring to me).

So when cartoon animal Shmitty Cat was plotting to eat cartoon animal Dummo Mouse in my older brother’s unfinished 1983 comic strip, my brother came up with a solution that was the best of both worlds.

Here’s an early finished stand-alone version of the same strip:  Comic Sunday: Dummo Mouse and Friend(s).

And you can find even more Dummo Mouse (finished and unfinished) here at Sunday Funnies.
