Saturday Night Special: The Naps of Polly Sleepyhead
Take a trip with Joey 'n Maggie where one pill makes you longer and one pill makes you short, it's The Naps of Polly Sleepyhead, as the comic strip appeared in the September 2, 1906 edition of the Chicago Tribune. The serial strip was written and drawn by American artist and author Peter Newell, who created bizarre children's books at the turn of the last century.
The Naps of Polly Sleepyhead
No. 1 - Polly was perched on the brink of the spring down below the orchard. She was thirsty and minded to stoop down and drink, but felt too indolent to make the effort.
No. 2 - And then she was startled by the sudden appearance of a Dachshund by her side, held in leash, as she soon discovered, by her friend the Joker. He said:
"Come, let us go to Shadow Land - we'll take an untried route -
And, if you please, from Shadow Trees we'll gather luscious fruit."
No. 3 - Polly rose to her feet, and the pair started down a steep incline, with Stretch (that was the Dachshund's name) tugging at his leash. The Joker laughingly remarked -
"You see my dog is leading me instead of being led;
He mostly runs to body, but he tries to be a-head!"
No. 4 - They soon came to a stream of water too wide to be jumped. "How will we get over?" inquired Polly. Some game wardens who had assembled at this point exclaimed in chorus: "Yes, how will you get over?" The Joker thought a moment and then said:
"Why, that is not so difficult; you see, we'll bridge the tide
And make a run upon the bank that's on the other side."
No. 5 - The joker then commanded Stretch to place his fore feet on the opposite bank, which he did, thus bridging the stream. Polly and the game wardens thought this quite a clever idea and heartily applauded both the Joker and his dog.
No. 6 - The Joker directed Polly to cross over, and she carefully stepped on to the living bridge. But she was no more than halfway over when a rabbit, deeply interested in the performance, indiscreetly showed himself where he was seen by all, including Stretch.
No. 7 - This was too much for a rabbit dog to endure, and in spite of his master's commands away he went, helter skelter, after the rabbit, leaving Polly without any support.
No. 8 - Then she woke up with a gasp. "Help!" shouted she. And then she realized she was in no danger. "What a goose I am," said she, "to go to sleep and roll off into the spring!"

Bundle Of Joy
Sometimes after we watch a video our jaws drop and we're completely woofless. Such is the case with with this darkly funny new video from abetoons: The twisted dachshund knows there's only room for one baby, and dreams-up a way to exterminate the competition. Its hard to predict who will end up in the dog house, and who will win Mom and Dads hearts, in Bundle of Joy.
In related video news, you may like the Dachshund who appears in a new not-safe-for-work video by UK funnyman Russell Brand for his fictional band Infant Sorrow. This will be on the soundtrack of Brand's new film Get Him To The Greek. Called 'Just Say Yes,' it can be seen at Mr. Brand's official site.
