Oscar Time and Cartoon Dogs
February 24, 201211:17 am
The Academy Awards takes place this Sunday, and the eyes of the world will be on what happens at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood. Who is going to win this year’s Best Picture? Will it be Hugo? The Descendants? The Artist? The Help? Midnight in Paris? Or one of the other films rumored to be a darkhorse candidate? Whatever happens, it is sure to be good hype for the movie that wins – at least for a few days until the next blockbuster is released or Charlie Sheen is “winning” again. As for the Jimmy O’Hair cartoon strip, I thought it would be good to have some fun with the Oscar ceremony. Zeppa is a true cinephile, and adores the movies. Hey, dogs do get a lot of time at home to lounge around in front of the TV, computer, or tablet, don’t they? She also considers herself a film “auteur”, so this strip pokes fun at her being invited to the Oscars for a competition among dogs entered for an Academy award. Regardless of what happens with the Oscars on Sunday night, there will be more to come with Zeppa. And another year of movie-watching to stoke our interest for the Academy Awards in 2013. Never to early to start thinking ahead, is it?
