 Hello out there, Good times in Mattland... the semester is starting to get difficult, 
        and simultaneously I have gained renewed fervor in my attitude towards 
        making cartoons. You could consider it like a bodhisattva's bodhicitta. 
        I've noticed that even Malcolm, who has always been optimistic about our 
        success, has acquired this bodhicitta. Not much else to say, but keep 
        spreading the word, and maybe we can get DWHH elected president or something 
        soon.   26 March, 2004by Deathfox
 I see that the Dog with HUMAN HANDS has finally told the world of his 
        glorious past. That's right, GLORY!! I scorn this feeble minded canine 
        for abandoning an illustrious life of secret murder. And I scorn those 
        that use that tired appelation with the capital letters for effect. BAH! 
        This "man" is a traitor! To those who sympathize with this pathetic, 
        whimpering "pacifist," I indulge you to admire the team we once 
        were, and look at the paradise he lost by quitting. True, the government used us for killings, but don't get too anti-hegemonistic 
        at first. The government has thousands of people killed everyday. But 
        DWHH couldn't handle it. It seems that the HANDS might have given him 
        an extra degree of human compassion (who would've thought that the root 
        of humanity might actually be good?). For a while he sucked it up, though, 
        but it was clear who was "top-dog" in that relationship. We had the greatest tactics too... imagine, two mangy animals moping 
        around your house/compound/airbase/trenches, dragging their tails and 
        looking for food and wait, did I just see a glint of metal in that fur, nah couldn't have been *GRZXKCZKK* you're dead. I would 
        claw them from the back while HANDS would give them the one-two punch, 
        but truly there's no greater feeling than a man's pulsing jugular squirting 
        life essence straight down your throat. Anyways, I have such high government clearance now that I pretty much 
        roam the world at will, occasionally knocking off a job or two as needed. 
        I cannot disclose my exact current location, but I can tell you that the 
        Middle East won't be too happy in the upcoming months. Meanwhile, I see 
        my old partner has sold out to his soft side. Don't let the big words 
        and haughty attitude fool you... he knows very little of violence. But 
        I suppose I am a bit harsh... after all, it's my nature... I am... DEATHFOX!!!

 Hey everyone. A new cartoon from Malcolm and Matt, FINALLY! We are done. 
        It's on the cartoons page. Also, do check out, if you will, a new buddy 
        icon by our friend David, about a trip down a roller-coaster. Hope everyone 
        has been well. Cheers!   25 March, 2004by Bonhomme de Neige
 Philoi (loves)! It is I, the Bonhomme de Neige, lord of winterland Quebec 
        and tutor of civilization to the dog with human hands. I am releasing 
        my adventures serially, just as did the Dickens in his day, on the essays 
        page! The first two installments of my ten-part initial arc, Rise of 
        the Snowman, are there now. Rise chronicles my thrilling adventures 
        as I scour the earth for the love of a good woman of snow, as well as 
        all the rivalries, friendships, battles, hatreds, scheming, politics and 
        erotic conundrums into which I stumble along the way. I hope you enjoy 
        them; I certainly did! Insipid illustrations by Stevie, the dog's inhumanly 
        fat receptionist. Next episode: dumb animals. Too, new "buddy icons" for all the children of the world!   24 March, 2004by DWHH
 Hey gang! An update for you. We've got two new cartoons. One is Malcolm's 
        flash odyssey, Death Song. It's about a dude walkin' down the street before 
        he dies. Two is Six Short Films By Andrew, and the name should be self-explanatory. 
        Matt is wrapping up the Malcolm/Matt joint effort, which we should have 
        for you soon. Wanted to let you guys know that I went and saw Eternal Sunshine of the 
        Spotless Mind, and I can't get it out of my head (appropriate considering 
        the subject matter...). It is really, really good. If you're afraid to 
        see Jim Carrey actually act after seeing The Majestic, I can assure you 
        he has lots of opportunities for zaniness in this one. Although he also 
        pulls off some really strong dramatic acting. Sometimes I think Charlie 
        Kaufman might be the american cinematic jewel of our generation. Please 
        go see it.   16 March, 2004by DWHH
 A quick update. Pardon my brevity. There are new buddy icons for you, 
        and also two new cartoons, Matt's first flash attempt, Stabby, and BabyKill, 
        a fictional account of me mauling a baby. It's funny, just absurd. I'm 
        only a little hurt. I've been busy guys, I'm sorry, I'll have some more 
        rantings for you soon.   14 March, 2004by DWHH
 Do I ever wish I tanned. Just my nose, I'm afraid. I have returned just 
        this morning from Bali, where I was to interview Brando. Regrettably, 
        he was checked out most of the trip, having nursed a fondness for slushy 
        island beverages all week. C'est dommage. Malcolm came up to New York to run some of my side projects while I was 
        gone. He's a dear, and I gave him a raise. He's particularly good at dealing 
        with these specialty distributors. I own a small chain of handbag boutiques, 
        you see, and out at the mill they ALWAYS think they're the only ones with 
        budget problems, or any kind of work-related stress for that matter. He 
        knows how to sweet-talk. Anyway, Malcolm might have some things to report 
        about his trip. Matt and Malcolm fixed a glitch in the Deathfox cartoon. Now the animation 
        is smoother, and Deathfox doesn't spend 6 minutes in flight before attacking 
        the hapless passerby. New cartoons! We've got another one from Andrew, one from Matt's girlfriend, 
        and Matt's got a new one about me (which, i want to assure the mothers 
        of the world, is entirely fictional) that is rapidly nearing completion. 
        Also, "Rob The Golfer" and "Jase's Cartoon" are now 
        on the main cartoons page, in the Contributors/Nepotism section. Oh, and 
        Matt and Malcolm's combined effort is coming along nicely. So far they've 
        gone Malcolm-Matt-Malcolm. So feel free to send Matt feedback to hurry 
        his ass along. It's getting so huge that, rather than one file, we're 
        doing it in installments. But we're going to post all three or four or 
        whatever when the whole thing's done... it'll be better that way, trust 
        me. We won't need a "previously, on E.R." sorta thing. Oh actually, 
        wait, we already have one. Malcolm thinks that's funny for some reason... 
        Well, whatever, to each his own. Cheers.   6 March, 2004by DWHH
 Oh boy, do we have lotsa good stuff for you. Malcolm has updated the 
        website, and we have two new cartoons, one from Matt and one from Matt's 
        brother, and an essay by the Bonhomme de Neige. Matt has some comments 
        on the new Mel Gibson movie, and since I haven't been able to make it 
        out to the theater, I may let him take this one. Expect those soon. I'll be watching the season premier of the Sopranos tonight... maybe 
        that merits a review. Well, listen, you MUST check out Matt's 
        new cartoon. It's about Deathfox, my friend-turned-nemesis. I met 
        him in my youth, when Dr. Reimer believed him to be the missing link between 
        me and the rest of the animal kingdom. Well, Deathfox escaped, and I've 
        been running from him, in one way or another, ever since. ... There's something I need to come clean about... during that "dark 
        period" in my life, after Dr. Reimer passed away, I was "employed" 
        by the "government." I did hits for them, under the pretense 
        that a dog cannot be charged with a crime. Deathfox helped me get this 
        job (I was drinking way too much at the time and was wracked by nihilistic 
        thoughts), and helped me hone my skills in assassination. But it just 
        wasn't for me. Deathfox was, I must concede, a brilliant killer, and had 
        the temperament for it. But while I've never had any trouble killing animals, 
        humans have always been a different beast. ... unless they pissed me off, 
        but that's neither here nor there.  Deathfox could kill without remorse, but I just couldn't keep it up, 
        after all those times they lay pleading on the floor, that puppy-dog look 
        in their eyes. Fortunately, Congress passed a special bill about man-animal hybrids, 
        preventing me from any further man-slaying. I was off the hook. Deathfox, 
        meanwhile...   3 March, 2004by Malcolm
 Hey gang, we've finally got some cool linking buttons. You can find them 
        on the lynx page.

 DWHH is still busy ranting and raving about Jarecki and the Oscars. He'll 
        have something to you shortly. In the meantime, check out the updated 
        advice page. Or... get ready... another cartoon! Matt says he "pulled 
        it out of the garbage," but I think it's cool. So check that out 
        on the cartoons page. Cheers!   Back to main dogblog page... |
