Did You Ever Wonder

About the Book

Warning: If you’ve ever owned a dog, you should enjoy the following book. This book contains 321 cartoons which hopefully will make you smile, chuckle, and perhaps wet yourself (assuming you are older like me!) In my first book “Did You Ever Wonder – Thinking Outside My Box,” my cartoons and their topics were fairly random – sort of like “stream of conscientiousness” writing. This book starts out in a somewhat similar fashion but does eventually develop a couple of story lines. In the early part, you’ll be introduced to a number of characters but the bulk of the book will focus on Spike, Chico, and Grandpaw. Initially I considered splitting this material into two separate books but didn’t think there was enough “meat” for both books to stand or squat separately. The last thing I wanted to do with a dog story is not have enough “meat” in it. If I didn’t, I’d have all the “doggie” lovers out there howling for my blood not to mention begging for more treats! Regardless, these cartoons were written with the intent of brightening your day! So take off you game face, relax, and let the sunlight enter! JAN PS – Dogs like young children enjoy having stories read to them too! Please don’t make them beg!
