Meet Snagglepuss

Last year I had a wonderful shot of an unusual dragonfly perched on the casing of my garage door. Yesterday I spotted "Snagglepuss". Another unique dragonfly.

I named him/her Snagglepuss because the markings on his head reminded me of a cat. He may look more like Garfield than Snagglepus but that was the first cat name that came to mind. Another unique thing about this dragon fly is that no matter how I focused on it, it's wings remained totally transparent. Eventually I got to close and it flew away.

A note of interest: Being I didn't remember much about the cartoon (Snagglepuss) I looked it up. He was a "filler" cartoon on The Quick Draw McGraw Show, 1959 and on. It seems the LBGT+ crowd is making a big thing today about him being gay because of his voice. I highly doubt that his creator, Daws Butler, thought of him as anything but male in 1959... and who the heck cares? That being said I will now "Exit stage left" (Snagglepuss's famous line).

Do you enjoy the cartoons written by my son (Timmothy N. Timm) which I use as a springboard to write my daily posts? His strip, Titus & Philemon, has run in two newspapers for years as well as being printed in my blog every day. Titus & Philemon (pronounced Phi - Lee -Man) are guinea pigs. Their owner is Joe. Timmothy has never repeated a joke/comic strip in the 12 years he has been writing it. He has never copied another strip, such as Peanuts or Garfield. You can follow Timmothy on FB as Titus & Philemon and you can also check him out on Instagram as Instagram.com/titus and philemon/ .For Timmothy's website type timmtimmothy.com into your browser. I tried to put it in a link here but it refuses to work. Do NOT put anything in front of timmtimmothy.com or it will not work.
