One Man & His Dog?

Pencil, 11.5in x 11.5in, W&N cartridge paper, 100lbs.

It is said that dogs and their owners begin to look like each other after a time.   Clearly this was in Brian Froud's mind when he drew the original illustration that appeared in "The World of Froud" published by Bantam Books in 1977.

In this copy I have lengthened the faces a little so that the dog more resembles a Lurcher cross that lives not far from me.  The Lurcher answers to the name of Godfrey and his owner, I hasten to add, looks nothing like the chap depicted here.
