I’ll be pragmatic when and if the situation warrants it.
PUPPY UPDATE!
http://frontpage.execulink.com/copperstonelabs/jerseylitter04.html
I’d upload a picture to my server and post it here, but my computer is being a terrible bitch. Probably because I’m downloading the entire first season of Amazing Race all at once. Or maybe just because my computer is a terrible bitch. It’s likely a combination of the two.
Anyway, if you go to the page you can see that my soon-to-be-puppy has opened his eyes. This is good news because it confirms that the puppy does, in fact, have eyes and won’t run around smashing into things. Actually it’s been my experience that all dogs smash into things occasionally, but I’d imagine an eyeless dog would do so more often. And also probably have an affinity for Stevie Wonder songs. In conclusion I am really glad my future dog has eyes because eyes are a useful and attractive feature on man and animal alike.
We still don’t have a name and we’re running out of time. My mom likes either “Griffin” or “Brody”, both of which I’m okay with. My brother, Chris, wants to call the dog ‘Vagina’ because he thinks that would lead to endlessly hilarious situations. “Vagina’s all wet!”, “Vagina’s licking me!”, “Here’s a bone, Vagina!”, “Vagina bit me!” etc. He’s easily amused. My youngest brother is in favour of “Brin” because he’s weird. I’m sort of leaning towards Krypto because, dude, that’s the name of SUPERMAN’S DOG! He wears a cape and can fly! He’s totally better than Batman’s dog, Ace, who never did anything but mope around the cave.
TBS started showing the Hulk Hogan classic Mr. Nanny at 8 a.m. the other day and I was late to work. Also the Blink 182 song “I miss you” is haunting me. It just won’t leave me alone. I registered both graphicmatt.com and graphicmatt.net for two more years this evening, so you’re all stuck with me for a while yet.
Tomorrow.
Matt

This is the first time I’ve ever felt the need to post something on your site. Actually, there isn’t much of a need. I just wanted to say this: at least now I know I’ll have something amusing to read for the next two years. My internet won’t just be for downloading and reading webcomics…
‘chel
Be a man and name the dog ‘Dog.’
I’m a stupid spambot!
Hmm, that’s hard to follow. Anyway, leave Ace the Bathound alone. Maybe he wasn’t a very pretty dog, but his heart was in the right place.As crime-crushing canines go, he’s ok by me.
Hi ‘chel! Do I know you from somewhere? I can’t keep people straight!
In any case, I love you for reading this site. If you ever need a husband QUICK, I’m your guy.
I’m trying to think of superhero dogs LESS inspiring than Ace, but I’m failing, Rory, I’m failing!

A quick google search for ’superhero dogs less inspiring than Ace’ yielded this little tome of information that might be useful to you.
I need to get a real job
Matt, If you’re looking for dog’s that are not so great as Ace, A good source would be the Hit TV series that aired from 92-94 entitled “Dog City”.They have names, they are dogs and they couldn’t be more mildly inspiring! Ace Hart, Rosie O’Gravy, Bugsy Vile, Mad Dog, Bruiser, Eliot Shag, Artie Springer…The list just goes on! ( http://epguides.com/DogCity/ ) (I like the way that Bugsy Vile rolls off the old tongue)
I don’t think you know me, unless you’ve been to the west coast. I would be the weird person making funny faces at strangers.
I’ve always liked Courage, the supposedly cowardly dog. The poor guy doesn’t get nearly as much credit as he deserves.
Having decided that the topic merited further investigation, I discovered that Krypto and Ace were in fact both founding members of the Canine Space Patrol Agency (CSPA). It is somewhat humbling to realize that while we bicker about their respective entertainment value, they quietly soldier on in the thankless defense of the cosmos. Man’s best friend indeed.
I think that you should name him something needlessly complicated first, and then shorten it to something almost nonsensical. Like our newest kitty, Hebrides Queen of Scots Maiden of Linanci. We call her Maddie, but I pluralize that usually, or call her HoneyKitten, and it never makes sense at all.
PS: Those are the cutest pics I’ve seen in ages, and I usually don’t enjoy dogs.
