Bert - 2003
In
March my lady friend who likes possums (specifically the cartoon character
Pogo) journeyed to Waycross, GA for the annual Pogofest in the Okefenokee
Swamp. Somewhere in the swamp she met Marcus Hamilton who draws Dennis the
Menace. Marcus was inspired by Dennis' dog Ruff to send along this cartoon
drawing with Ruff's message. If Walt Kelly were still alive drawing Pogo, I
might have my name on a boat by now, but this is almost as good. I've heard
that my so-called master looked and acted a lot like Dennis in his by-gone
youth.
I'm planning a trip to Michigan in May where I will meet with a bunch of
my fans at the Old Reel Collectors Association convention. Maybe I'll see
you there.

Notes |
| My human friend and I
worked all winter clearing fishing spots on the lake out front, and now
that it's time to go fishing, he leaves me home. Of course he's wading
along the shoreline, but I could have a lot of fun splashing along
chasing carp. Geezeooey, what a drag. |
