Hi Are!

Hey, that's a great find... I never noticed.

Here's the whole sunday, rather largish to allow better reading
of the names (500+ Kb) :

And for those who are in a hurry, here's just the dogs, enlarged

Most noticeably, I guess, on Popeye (dunno much about Doc Winner,
I must admit).

I guess there's very little doubt, me...

Daisy, center stage (another joke? :-)
And I can recognize Jiggs & Maggie's, too, the small black one on the
far right, and I'm also sure I've seen the large grey dog on the left,
somewhere...

Here's a new fun quiz... name the dogs ;-)


Cheers!
