This was a throwaway gag I'd drawn (on three separate 3x5 index cards) for
Kelvin the Lion.
I was reminded of said gag, when my brother Glenn and I recently went to an antiques warehouse in Deerfield Beach, FL, and he'd found a coffee mug with a White Castle (hamburger restaurant) logo on it. Between myself and Rabbi-Tom, we are both fanatic of White Castles and its 'sliders'...
Back in 2001, I'd sent Kelvin the Lion a gag that teamed up my bobcat 'fursona' with one of his characters from his webcomic "Macropod Madness" - Orange, the 'roo with an endless appetite. Those of you over 40 years of age will probably remember White Castle serving trays, especially if you remember when the waitresses used to serve burgers to its motorist customers.

Orange would provide a public service - for those going 'green' - by carrying her purchase of White Castle burgers in her own pouch, rather than lay waste to the environment by bringing them home in a plastic or paper sack! It certainly makes many of us wish we were born with pouches on our bellies, at least... Or is it just ME?!
I owe a debt of gratitude to (the late, great) Chcuk Jones, who specialized in doing those 'deadpan takes' with numerous characters in many of his cartoon shorts (for both Warner Bros. and MGM). He, in turn, credited Oliver Hardy (of Laurel & Hardy fame) for originating that form of visual humor.
