 Hic !!! Think the Human will notice I borrowed the Car…..?

After re-searching Gary Larson it became apparent that, he set his strengths between man and beast, mainly snakes & dogs, all with long noses. Could have taken a shot of the dog lazing around, but decided that all Gary’s beasts were doing, or involved in something or other, at the time of his cartoon. This is the best I could come up with for a tribute to such a fine cartoonist, looking to The Far Side.
Shot in the back yard using a model of an old car, and a figurine from the Rats collection, as these had long noses.
Hope you like the humor….
