I've been "off" dA for a while, which is to say that I'm not really updating my journal and stuff, though I do log on pretty much every day to clear out my inbox if nothing else. (If I didn't, I'd come back after like a week and have like 50 messages.)

Butch Hartman's latest animation project has been announced, and from what I can tell, it's basically 'Get Smart' with anthro dogs and cats. The main character is a mutt, and supposedly has a bit of every breed, which makes him unique among this special agency thing.

I'm sorry, but when I read that little bit, all I could think of was this:

It was the smallest and ugliest dog Moist had ever seen. It resembled those goldfish with the huge bulging eyes that looked as though they were about to explode. Its nose, on the other hand, looked stoved [sic?] in. It wheezed, and its legs were so bandy that it must sometimes trip over its own feet.

"That's Mr. Fusspot," said the old woman. "He doesn't normally take to people, Mr. Lipwig. I am impressed."

"Hello, Mr. Fusspot," said Moist. The dog gave a little yappy bark and then covered Moist's face in all that was best in dog slobber.

"He likes you, Mr. Lipwig," said Mrs. Lavish approvingly. "Can you guess at the breed?"

Moist had grown up with dogs and was pretty good at breeds, but with Mr. Fusspot there was no place to start. He plumped for honesty.

"All of them?" he suggested.

Mrs. Lavish laughed, and the laugh sounded at least sixty years younger than she was.

"Quite right! His mother was a spoon hound, very popular in royal palaces in the olden days. But she got out one night and there was an awful lot of barking and I fear Mr. Fusspot is the son of many fathers, poor thing."

(In all honesty, I don't think I'm going to watch the series. It doesn't sound like my cup of tea.)
