Hello Friends,
I hope your Memorial Day weekend was memorable. Ours was quite pleasant.
Today we are offering you another selection from Annie's animation class at Rhode Island School of Design; this one by Alicia Lane. Harriet and I found it very funny, though Hector is a bit offended at this portrayal of his kind. The dialogue is a clip from Sex in the City.
Until the next,
I remain,
your,
Mickey

Press
Hello friends,
I have been neglecting the blog. I am very busy in ways that could be difficult for you to imagine. A dog of my kind... But here I am to bring you back up to date. Annie was in the news this week in the Newton Tab. The article featured one of my favorite illustrations of hers entitled "Barnyard Crime."
Click on it to make it larger.
This crime happened a few years back at Harriet's grandparents farm. You'll be interested to know that they never did find out who killed that fox. But he was a heartless fellow and no one misses him. Perhaps the killer shouldn't even be punished.
This is an ethical question that we won't address in the blog. I am not the Ethicist. You are, however, welcome to post your comments on this.
As always,
I remain,
interested in your opinions,
your good friend,
Mickey

Spring!
Well Dear Readers,
Spring is here. With its sunshine and rain. Here at the world headquarters of H&M, Ink., the trees are blossoming.
Do you have seasonal allergies? Hector does (of course). He never goes anywhere without his "petit hankie," as he calls it. And of course he's using it as an excuse not to bring in the mail. "I can't go out of doors," he says with his French accent. "I can't." And then he blows his nose dramatically.
On one of our recent hot days, I went "out of doors" to go for a swing in the back yard, and the elder weasel shared her popsicle with me.
I hope you, too, are enjoying the spring, gentle reader. It is the best season after all, and we should treasure each day.
Your friendly
friend,
Mickey

e-Postcards Down!
Dear Readers,
You won't believe what has happened. The e-postcard link on our website, where you can send virtual postcards to your friends, has been compromised! An evil-doer in cyberspace hacked into our code and was using it to propagate spam! We are still investigating, but we believe the suspect looks like this:
If you have any tips as to his whereabouts, please email us at stoptheevildoer@harrietandmickey.com.
In the meantime, the e-postcard link is down and OUT. A very sad bunny with striped trousers will let you know.
This is much like we felt when we heard the bad news.
I hope you haven't got a lot of e-postcards to send. You might consider sending paper ones until our site is repaired (long wait). Postcard stamps are 27 cents, but will rise in price in May. So send them now.
Your disappointed,
but not disspirited
friend,
Mickey

iPod Advice
Hello Savvy Reader,
Do you own an iPod? Are you in contact with weasels or water? If so, please continue reading. Late on the morning of March 20th, an unidentified weasel placed my iPod on the bumper of my roommate's car. This roommate then drove to the car wash where said iPod was showered, soaped, waxed, and rinsed; at which point the roommate discovered my iPod. Too late!
My beloved iPod was ruined. How did I know? It didn't work! It won't charge! It makes clicking sounds when I plug it in!
Could this happen to you? It could!
Do you take baths?
Just minutes after this photo was taken, this bird dropped his iPod into the bathtub! Ruining it forever.
I urge all iPod owners to keep their iPods at a safe distance from weasels and water. Both can prove fatal to even the most hearty iPods.
And with that I leave you,
wishing you a not uneventful,
but safe week.
Your friend
and mentor,
Mickey

Hello!
Hello Dear Readers!
I'm back from vacation and feeling very rested. I'm also tan. Not as tan as Big Mickey, of course, but we have different genetic backgrounds.
His breed is from somewhere near the equator whereas mine is from more northern parts. He needs to get more sun than me in order to get enough Vitamin D. But enough of the science lessons, eh, dear reader?
Do remember Leguana? The hot lizard I met in the Bahamas last year?
Well, I didn't tell you before I left, but we met up in Polynesia on the island of Tonga. How was it? It was wonderful. We picked up just where we had left off in our last long-distance phone conversation, and did so over another rum punch.
I don't think I'll ever be able to drink rum punch again without thinking of my lovely Leguana and our time in Tonga. The islanders are very hospitable, and we were treated like royalty (queen and king, not duke and duchess). Here is the Tongan chief greeting us as we stepped off our boat.
He looks very stern, but he's a lot of fun.
Well, I must get back to work. As you can imagine there is a pile of correspondence on my desk and many messes to straighten out from Hector's time alone in the office. Between you and me, I'm not sure that we will leave him in charge again.

Bang and Booty
Hello Readers,
It's time to open up the sketchbook. Here we have two entries: one entitled "Bang" and the other, "Booty."
They are fairly self-explanatory; which means that they explain themselves. If they aren't explaining themselves to you, here are some hints:
The Bang one is a picture of George, my neighbor, shooting the neighborhood raccoon. The Booty one is a picture of Amigo, the weasels' preschool rabbit greeting them at the entrance of their school.
Now I am off on an Polynesian vacation, so please don't expect to hear from me until late in the month. All inquiries until that time should be directed to Hector at hector@harrietandmickey.com. I would give you his phone line, but his English is so bad I don't think you'll understand him.
