Dog?
FOUND by Jordan Dailey
in Sugar Land, Texas
I work at CiCi's Pizza, which is a buffet restaurant. While I was working recently, I found a notebook lying on the ground underneath one of the booth tables. This was one of the pages from the notebook. It's... some sort of... dog.. type thing. I thought it was adorable. Why didn't Mommy put this on the refrigerator?

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...

I think this is the "Bunnee" tattoo of 2008 (except that it's a ...dog... or something...)
So! Who will step up to the plate and get this inked on their body??
(I would do it but I'm running out of available tattoo space and already have the next 12 months of ink mapped out. Much as Iike this picture, it doesn't really fit in with the rest. Although the more I look at it, the more I love it!)
It's Mr Potato Dog! and it looks like he's been into the blue icy poles again.
Mr Potato Dog is reminiscent of George Rodrigue's Blue Dog images... no?
(Ah Bunnee! Bunnee is my all time favorite Find!)
He's clearly been in some sort of industrial accident that left him with severed ears.
Theodor Geisel on acid.
I warned him but he did not hear. I warned him but he drank a beer.
He painted this. His brain was loose.
He changed his name to Dr Seuss.
His blues were blue. His reds were red.
His name was Theodor, not Ted.
His reds were red. His blues were blues
Dr Seuss. Not Dr Suze.
Mommy didn't put this on the fridge because Junior showed her the picture and said "Here, Mommy, I made this picture of you."
Mommy stopped short with a slice of pizza hovering between plate and lips.
Junior realized he'd said something wrong.
The notebook slipped to the floor.
They slipped out the door to their car, and didn't exchange a word the rest of the day.
That night at home, Daddy couldn't figure out what was wrong.
Mommy never took Junior out for a pizza celebration of birthday-report-card-just-because again.
Junior knew why.
Nobody ever explained to Daddy.
Our Poet-in-Residence Farmer in In The Dell has us laughing with his Seussesque verse. Librarian brings us back to Earth with dark prose without a villain. And all because of Mr. Potato Dog.
Gawd, I love this place.
BTW, RIP George Carlin.
No...really, Freonz? Carlin can't be dead...no...no...first Kermit, now George?
Say it ain't so!!
...is it really?
I love the dog's body.
Mommy didn't hang it on the fridge because at home she has fourteen other notebooks FULL of similar works, and the fridge is already plastered with the budding artist's best pics.
Wow, what a drag about George Carlin... I'm the Ice Box Man at my house.." that and the Seven Words You Can't say on Television are timeless classics!
I love this. The way it's kinda there, and kinda not, I'll bet some magic was involved somewhere (aren't there "magic" markers that change colors when you use them?). I like the thought of a magic drawing by one of my kids. Of course, now that they're 20 and 24, there aren't too many more drawings for the fridge.
Kermit's gone too??? Arghhhhhh..
it looks like boo boo, you know, Yogi's friend. (maybe more than just a friend. They were awfully close, for two bears. What the heck was in that picinic basKET?)
@Baby Basil, yes, sadly, 'tis true.
@CarlaSue, Jim Henson's been dead for over 18 years.
Freonz, I think CarlaSue is refering to a guy named Kermit who was Jim Henson's inspiration who died the other day. But thanks for stinking up my Monday by telling me George Carlin is dead. I should have said a prayer for him.
@Turbo, ah, ok. Didn't know that. Sorry, CarlaSue.
Mommy didn't hang it on the fridge because junior is 37 years old, can't hold a job and won't move out of the house.
I love the colors used in the body!
@Sarasara in tattoo magic: no tattoos for me, but I'd go for the t-shirt!
It's Elmo's dog.
Cool! Detachable ears! Reminds me of that King Missile song....
There's something annoying about this FOUND.
I don't like looking at it.
I vote Mr. Potato Head
Looks like it's wearing a Mexican wrestler mask, quite similar to Jack Black's character's get-up in Nacho Libre.
Hay muchos mexicanos en la Tierra de Azucar (la area de Houston)... porque no? Viva la lucha libre!
Does anyone else notice the absolutely lovely contours and shading on the dog's body?
The closest Cici's Pizza is 637 miles away (or something like that)
none in California.
The only thing this brought to mind is this website:

Make sure you check out the first picture on page 2 (no, it's not tubgirl).
Awww...this will be my tribute to Mr.Carlin...
RIP George...
A stoned Muppet.
(That's all I've got, for this one.I like it though.)
George Carlin and Jim Henson, both a reflection of and a huge influence on my brain droppings.
Rest well George,(you too, Jim)don't stay away too long. We need you, down here.
This dog reminds me of "Spot", a dog from a Nickeoldeon cartoon of the 90's, who could talk and wanted to go to school. As I remember Spot wore glasses and a cap and had convinced everyone he was a kid. That was about the time that ugly, poorly drawn cartoons took over from art.
@Danielle--Don't worry about Cici's not being near you. They're AWFUL! You're not missing anything but some cardboard with some ketchup and cheese thrown on it. However, my 4 year son LOVES it, if that tells you anything.
Some of the curves look too perfect - like they were traced with a template or stencil. Someone got creative with a stencil of something else and decided to make a dog instead of whatever it really was. Know what I mean?
Momma?!?? *tears welling up*
