One more.  Pete Hawley was in huge demand, known for his Jantzen Swimwear ads.  But he has a lot of anthro animals in his quiver as well.


When I was growing up I would see this guy's work everywhere.


I was dressed much like this cat the day Kennedy was shot just a few miles away.  To me this is a sad picture.  These two kids, natural enemies, are having harmless fun while watching a morality play television show about clear cut good and evil.  They are visibly excited and will sleep very soundly tonight.  Damn few kittens and almost no mice find homes, let alone such a wonderful one as depicted here.  This will always be a pleasant if vague memory for the both of them.


Spooky.

Just as seventies as it gets!


Doggone it is Southern Baptist for 'Goddamn'.  This is a doggone good picture.


He doth bestride the narrow world, like a Colossus.
 

 This bangs the right side of the cute meter.


Diverse.


Prolific, to say the least.


While the thrust of our anthropomorphism here is furry oriented, Humpty Dumpty is nothing if not 'like a man'.  Besides, wilya just look at that rabbit?  Cuddles!
 

When the stars threw down their spears 
And water'd heaven with their tears: 
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee? 


If I ever attend a FurCon, this is exactly how I will look.  Two for one!
 
 
Superior.
 



So long, Pete, wherever you are I'm sure you stay busy.


Bon voyage.

Two Angel Forms Were Seen To Glide

’Twas on a lofty vase’s side, Where China’s gayest art had dyed The azure flowers that blow; Demurest of the tabby kind, The pensive Selima, reclined, Gazed on the lake below. Her conscious tail her joy declared; The fair round face, the snowy beard, The velvet of her paws, Her coat, that with the tortoise vies, Her ears of jet, and emerald eyes, She saw; and purred applause. Still had she gazed; but ’midst the tide Two angel forms were seen to glide, The genii of the stream; Their scaly armour’s Tyrian hue Through richest purple to the view Betrayed a golden gleam. The hapless nymph with wonder saw; A whisker first and then a claw, With many an ardent wish, She stretched in vain to reach the prize. What female heart can gold despise? What cat’s averse to fish? Presumptuous maid! with looks intent Again she stretch’d, again she bent, Nor knew the gulf between. (Malignant Fate sat by, and smiled) The slippery verge her feet beguiled, She tumbled headlong in.

''The plight of Davis Paul'' ''Dam you to Hades Billy! why are you setting fire to my Wardrobe with your Cigarette!!?''...you would hear on occasion some kind of verbal anger often from Davis - shouting out in abstract Frustration, 'just because Billy Thought Davis Pauls Clothes were lame'' oh yeah, Billy D was the Dude.........Davis put up with so much crap and nonsense from the rebellious Layabout - come would be antisocial super hero, ''the enabler''...Davis Paul was literally at the end of his tether..all those worrisome late nights... Davis would often shout at Billy, during one of Billy's Trash rampages, ''Aunt may never has this problem ever with peter parker !'' and then the rest of the time, Davis Paul wondering where Billy was? and what was Billy D up too? then after hours and hour of worrying,  Billy would just rock up - staggering through the Front door, Gladiator outfit on, covered

Two Sides Of The Same Coin

 It was a lovely day in November.  At least Tom thought it was November, the air was crisp and cool and it felt Novemberish.  There were no calenders here, while he had a clock he rarely looked at it.  He never had to be anywhere at any particular time in any event, when he had to be somewhere he always showed up on time, if that's the word for it.  Anyway, it was a nice Fall day. Tom stood on his porch that surrounded the small field stone house, he could see and smell the smoke from his neighbor's fires, someone was cooking fish and the big cat was salivating.  Since he had had his coffee he wasn't hungry, but the fish really smelled enticing.  Odd, he thought, I haven't had meat since I got here.  When did I get here?  he thought to himself, I don't remember.  Maybe someplace in town sold meat, although he had never seen such a shop.  It didn't matter, what with the bread and potatoes and butter and honey he was never hungry.  Tom lit a cigarette
