Joke of the Week #87

An absent-minded professor calls his neighbor Henry on the phone. "Hello, Henry. Might I ask for a little help with something, please?"

"Sure," Henry replies. "How may I help you?"

"Well, I've just gotten a new jigsaw puzzle, but there are about a thousand pieces or so, and none of them seem to fit together. It's so confusing I don't know where to start."

"What's the picture of?" Henry inquires.

"A big toucan." the professor replies.

"Ill be over in just a second." Henry promises. When he arrives at the house, the professor leads him into the living room, over to a coffee table. After one look at the table, Henry says, "Gee, Professor Murphy, don't you think you should put the Froot Loops back in the box?"

A Meowy Christmas and a Yappy New Year!

Here is a Pound Puppies fanfiction, which is the seventh in a series created by fellow writer brave kid and me. In this story, which is based on an episode of the Garfield Show entitled, "Home for the Holidays", the Pound Puppies and Kennel Kittens are preparing for Christmas at the pound. When they later come across Giblet, who's bringing food and blankets to a group of homeless pets living in an alley, the Puppies and Kittens not only assist her but hatch a plan to help the poor pets find their perfect homes in time for Christmas. But will they be successful? Please enjoy, and a very Merry Christmas to all!

 
 
 
BTW, here are a few pictures of the story's characters:
 
Buster the elderly cat, and the three little orphan puppies he looks after, April, May, and June. Buster's name and appearance are based on those of the cat from this book, and their personalities are based on those of Rags the elderly dog and the three orphan kittens from the original Garfield Show episode.
 
 
Sid and Chubba, who both originally appeared in the episode, "Kennel Kittens Return", and Babette, who also originally appeared in the series. Sid is a positive sort, Chubba is friendly but lazy, and Babette is polite but somewhat shy.
 
 
Timmy, who personality-wise is a slight nod to Tiny from the episode, "Happy Howlidays" from the 1986 series, and like Tiny is a nod to Tiny Tim, Kiki, who originally appeared in the episode "Olaf in Love", Lily, who originally appeared in the episode, "Kennel Kittens Return", and Bubbles, who also originally appeared in the series. Timmy and Kiki are both very kind and polite, Lily is sweet but very shy, and Bubbles is very cheerful and energetic.
 
Gladys and Gloria, the twin lady Dobermans who originally appeared in, "Hot Dawg"(I added their names). They're a little bit feisty, but very friendly.
 

And Ralph, the very apathetic dog who originally appeared in, "I Heard the Barks on Christmas Eve", and Napoleon, the parrot who first appeared in, "Squawk". Napoleon is not too trusting of the group a first, especially the cats, but they fortunately are able to convince him that they only have his best interest at heart.
 


 
  

The Way of the Luchadore


Here is a Pound Puppies fanfiction, which was a collab between fellow writer brave kid and I(He had the initial idea for the story and title, and I wrote it up), which is a continuation of a series he and I will be writing in the future. This story, BTW, contains several nods to the movie Nacho Libre, such as Niblet suggesting eating an eagle's egg to get stronger.). In this story, Madame Pickypuss, a cat belonging to a rich family, comes seeking the Pound Puppies and Kennel Kittens' help finding her wayward friend, a Chihuahua(Who looks very much like Squirt) named Cuddlesworth P. Wigglebottom. The dogs and cats aren't sure where to look, until they spot a masked Chihuahua by the name of Lucha Grande in a commercial for a Mexican restaurant, and opt to search there. No sooner do they go to look for him, however, than a pair of evil Lucha dogs challenge Lucky and Niblet to a wrestling match, which Lucha Grande volunteers to help train them for. Will Lucky and Niblet have what it takes to win the match? And where exactly is Cuddlesworth? Please enjoy!(This story, BTW, also contains several nods to the movie Nacho Libre, such as Niblet suggesting eating an eagle's egg to get stronger.)




BTW, here are a few pics of the story's characters:

Madame Pickypuss and her associate Cuddlesworth, both of whom originally appeared in the episode, "The Prince and the Pupper." Pickypuss' earrings are based on those of Violet Vanderfeller, and Cuddlesworth's monocle is based on that of Barkerville.

 
Lucha Grande, the mascot of Mucho Grande Taco and self-proclaimed Lucha expert, whose real name is revealed to be Antonio(He originally appeared in the episode, "Hot Dawg".) Though his training methods are fairly strange, they prove to come in handy later on.
 
Crusher the pitbull and Grinder the Rottweiler, an evil Lucha wrestling duo backed by the villainous Milton Feltwaddle, who confront the group in the restaurant and challenge Lucky and Niblet to a match. Though very strong, these two, fortunately for the good guys, are not very bright.
 
And the Ring Announcer cat, who announces the beginning of the match, as well as the somewhat accident-prone referee dog.
 
 
Just for fun, I've also added a picture of Niblet, who's just learned about hair vs. hair matches, and is afraid of getting shaved if he loses the match.(As he himself states, "A bald sheepdog ain't a pretty sight.)

WOOHOO! 350 POSTS!!! WAHOO! YAY! HOORAY! WEEHEE! Wah...ah ahem, where as I? Oh yes...
 
Here is a Pound Puppies fanfiction, which was a collab between fellow writer brave kid and I(He had the initial idea for the story, and I wrote it up), which is the fourth in a series he and I will be writing in the future. In this story, which is a nod to the episode, "Secret Agent Pup" from the 1986 series, The Super Secret Pup Club come across a little Russian pup named Yakov, who's on the run from some spies, as they pass by the harbor. The pups bring Yakov to the pound, where he's welcomed with open arms by the Pound Puppies and Kennel Kittens, who promise to watch his back. But when Cupcake gets kidnapped by the spies, it's up to the group, along with secret agent Bondo("Just Bondo.") to save her! Please enjoy!
 
 
 
 
BTW, here are a few pics of the story's characters:
 
Yakov, the friendly little Russian pup who first appeared in the episode, "The Pups Who Loved Me." His appearance is based slightly on that of Pupnik from the episode, "Secret Agent Pup," and, like Pupnik, his collar plays an important part in the storyline.
 
Secret agent Bondo, who helps(and occasionally hinders) the group on their mission to find Cupcake, Millicent, who designs various gadgets at Bondo's headquarters, and the bulldog guy, who operates the elevator leading to the headquarters, all of whom also first appeared in, "The Pups Who Loved Me."
 
And last but not least, Goldclaw, the evil mastermind who seeks Yakov's collar for his master plan(Who is a nod to Clawfinger in "Secret Agent Pup."), Puss-Puss Galore, Goldclaw's second-in-command, and the two spy cats Noodles and Precious, who serve as their henchmen. (Puss-Puss and the Siamese cats also first appeared in "The Pups Who Loved Me.")
