And now for tonight’s Dinklemeyer:

In this mean little thing, I introduced that Freddy did at least have a little bit of a dark side. Perhaps a yearning to conquer the world, or at least his high school, in a Napoleonic way? I also here first brought the actual name of his school, Boron High School.

This is the longest continual strip in the series, running two pages (though the size of the drawings helps. I didn’t want anyone to interpret it in a dark or sinister way (a la Columbine; you have to be careful in today’s paranoid politically correct society). It’s done in the same spirit as Calvin from “Calvin and Hobbes” fantasizing about bombing his school from the face of the earth. I read a lot of “Calvin and Hobbes” as a kid, and here, you can see a little inspiration shining through. I love the fantasy art poured into Calvin’s imagination and wanted to do something similar. Some fun art actually went into this strip (fun considering my limited artistic talent at the time). I thought it would be funny to draw Freddy as a big, muscular, Rambo-type character, but still wearing the same clothes as he usually does.

The Dinklemeyer world at this point was still being built and explored. Soon we will see an explosion of cartoonish creativity, meeting fun new characters and strange stories.

Hey PC...I went to the dentist this morning and have been suffering all day. Your hilarious drawing is the first belly laugh I've had all day.

Thx a bunch!

DS

Helping people who are in need...that's the kind of thing that makes all the work worthwhile.

Waiting all day for my dose of P. cartoon.

Hoping for a little Ted the Swimmer wigging out over the Alito confirmation but this was just as good.

Cindy stalking the Shark. LOL!

I knew when I started doing this there was no going back.

Yeah, I would have liked to have done Ted/Alito, but that all happened pretty fast and I was already working on this one. Sometimes it's hard to choose just one topic!

Hey Hoodlum.

The first panel has kind of a "Far Side" inspiration to it.

The shark is becoming a fan favorite.

Of course. I know how much you like him, so I've made extra sure to put him more often. It's my gift to you.

You should.

The shark, I think, is the most interesting character. If I'm allowed to say that about stuff I create.

TIny detail. I wanted to establish that Cindy was a creepy stalker. Just a rose would have made it look like a love letter.

You finally found a tagline that you can settle on!

You have no reason to change that one ever.

Well, it's certainly better than the Drew Carey one!

Yes, I agree.

Perhaps you should throw a little pronunciation guide in there.
