Something’s up
This drawing predates my ability to recall when I did it. Pluto is actually speaking his first words from his two dimensional flat plane domain. Pluto’s original creators did not see fit to give him an English speaking role. Pluto was oppressed. He was subservient to his master, Mickey Mouse. And to make humility more obvious, Goofy, Mickey’s friend, (also a dog) could speak English even though Pluto was way smarter.
So I’ve opted to set things right for Pluto and promoted him to a higher artistic standard. Emancipation if you will. So Pluto can hold his head (and ears) up high as he “keeps moving forward”.
