Marrow/Zucchini Seed Humor, plus Pongo the Pup

I forgot to compose a post for today!  (Ah, summer...) But this is seed related :-)
Enjoy this postcard from WW I, and if you have the time, check out the Pongo the Pup 1924 animation link.  
If you remember early animation, the surreal qualities that pop in around the 2:14 mark won't be a shocker.  If you are a youngster, know this mixture of realities was not uncommon back then.


Gardening humor during WW I by Dudley Buxton.  

Dudley Buxton (c.1885-1951) was a British comic artist involved in some of the first British animated films, including working with Anson Dyer and the Kine Komedy Kartoons in the 1910s. In 1924 and 1925 he wrote and directed the "Pongo the Pup" series as an answer to the American "Felix the Cat" of 1922.
