I loved that comic strip. Used to wait for it each week in the City Paper.

Baltimore Paper? Love that cartoon!!

hellzempty.bsky.social•41 days ago

City Paper - in Baltimore, D.C., and elsewhere.

modernistwitch.bsky.social•42 days ago

originally in the la reader but was reprinted in a bunch of different alt-weeklies, the city paper included (which is, i think, where i first saw it)

kevinressler.bsky.social•42 days ago

I wondered if it was national... now I know! Thank you!!

I always thought that the dog would calm down with an owner that didn't tie him up in the garden all his life.

I once printed a bunch of these out and put them in a binder because I wanted a book of them

crabitha.slutmo.de•42 days ago

I’m strongly considering a tattoo this very moment

modernistwitch.bsky.social•42 days ago

i am also considering one tbh

crabitha.slutmo.de•42 days ago

Hell yes

momtrex.bsky.social•41 days ago

I used to read it all the time in the LA Weekly. I never knew

d-kavka.bsky.social•42 days ago

I ripped this off so hard for a long dead student zine in university. Such a great comic, RIP♥️

hvrcrftfullofeels.bsky.social•41 days ago

thanks for sharing these, I didn't know until now that they exist.

His daughter Jennifer is also a controversial film director.

thecolorkitten.bsky.social•41 days ago

Mine too! It and he were so wonderful 💔

elliotclyde.bsky.social•41 days ago

Feel like this dog is on my commute

siperlywhenwet.bsky.social•42 days ago

Village Voice had this comic, right??

modernistwitch.bsky.social•42 days ago

yep! it ran in a bunch of different alt-weeklies (i miss the vibrant alt-weekly ecosystem every day)

I had about a dozen of these cut out of one of the Twin Cities’ alt papers and scotch-taped to my wall in 8th grade.

bluememe.bsky.social•41 days ago

Same.

daisyburpadoodle.bsky.social•41 days ago

This was my favorite!

billhan.bsky.social•41 days ago

...i never knew he did that!...used to read it in the City Paper when I lived in DC in the Long Ago...damn!...

sanguinepar.bsky.social•42 days ago

Thank you, I had never seen that.

chuckell.bsky.social•41 days ago

What--

the fuck. I remember this comic! I don't know from where but I sure as hell saw it in print when it was published. I had no idea.

chuckell.bsky.social•41 days ago

Ah, probably in the Washington City Paper. Neither of my other two guesses, National Lampoon or Heavy Metal, seemed right.

modernistwitch.bsky.social•41 days ago

it was indeed in the city paper!

scilla.bsky.social•42 days ago

Back then I created a pin of the angriest dog out of sculpy. He always inspired.

michaelg398.bsky.social•42 days ago

I’d forgotten about that. Thanks for reminding me.

dickensheets.bsky.social•42 days ago

Loved it!

ellz.bsky.social•42 days ago

Rest in Peace David Lynch
Omg angriest dog
...always thought it was about my Dad

modernistwitch.bsky.social•42 days ago

i don’t know any other piece of art that has captured ptsd hypervigilance in this exact, surreal, perfect way

modernistwitch.bsky.social•42 days ago

it’s just so good and really emblematic of everything i love about his art, even though the actual visual art never changes

thornsoftristan.bsky.social•41 days ago

All this time and it never dawned on me that Lynch did the Angry Dog.

ieb123.bsky.social•41 days ago

Pretty out there. Lynchian. Thank you for sharing the link!
