You may be wondering, "How can I best celebrate this festive day?" You might consider:
- Finding a cartoonist near you and mowing his lawn, at least the front lawn (especially the hard part with the hill).
- While you're at it trim his shrubs, so the mailman can find his front door again.
- Does his house need vacuuming? Well, what are you waiting for?
- Who left all these dishes in the sink?
- The cats; somebody feed the cats.
- You could take him to lunch at the Mexican place down the street, where they're having some no doubt cartoonist-related celebration.
- For God's sake laugh at his cartoons. If they appear in a newspaper, buy extra copies (or multiple subscriptions, even) and laugh at them too.

Cinco de Cartoonist Day!
I like this. This day needs more media coverage.
Speaking of Nat'l Cartoonists Day, today Art Spiegelman was interviewed on the Post's Comic Riffs blog - in "The Interview: "Maus's" Art Spiegelman" By Michael Cavna, May 5, 2009 he says, I like Richard Thompson's work ["Cul de Sac"]. They're good gags, and graphically it's on a very high level. ... It really seems like the inheritor to the "Calvin and Hobbes" [mantle]. It's amazing when any strip can electrify and bring life to a form [the comic strip] that is on life support.
[Hmmm, my word verification is Ingedc - does that mean that comics scholar Tom Inge is coming to town? Is this a prognostication tool?]
The firm of Palin, Cleese, Jones, Idle, Gilliam and Chapman(dec'd) would like a word with you.
I couldn't tell if you were joking about the "TK" part.

Thanks everybody and back atcha.
Matt, when I drew this like 4 years ago I Googled that Dog's Nose cartoon and found it's got a rich history, especially in England, where it's considered a National Joke. There was even a site that translated it into As Told By versions (i.e. if it was told by a 4 year old it'd go: My dog has no legs. How does he walk? Terrible!) But you're right; nobody told it better than Hitler.
Was that a Wolverine reference in today's strip?
