Sainting: Patrick McDonnell

The Sisters crashed the Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco tonight to canonize Patrick McDonnell, creator of the long-running and sublimely beautiful comic strip MUTTS, noted advocate and fundraiser for animal rights, co-author of books with Jane Goodall and the Dalai Lama, and as it turns out a really nice person (as is his spouse Karen, who I had to drag into the picture just like I did George Takei's spouse Brad).

Welcome to the Order, Saint Zoophilist the Mighty, Ink-Slinging Emissary of Shmirth & Profundity and Patron Saint of All the Fur Buddies!

What a joyful tribute to Patrick McDonnell and his beautiful comic strip MUTTS. His dedication to animal rights and collaborations with voices like Jane Goodall and Dalai Lama show how art can truly make a difference beyond the page. Celebrating him at the Cartoon Art Museum feels perfectly fitting. It’s inspiring to see creativity and compassion come together—kind of like finding those unexpected wholesome moments in null's brawl game where fun and heart align. A well-deserved “canonization” indeed!

Reading about Patrick McDonnell’s recognition felt inspiring, especially seeing how creativity and compassion can leave a lasting cultural impact. Celebrating meaningful achievements like this reminds me how personal expression often connects deeply with art, storytelling, and even the accessories people choose to wear. Thoughtful jewelry can symbolize milestones, values, and memories in a similar way. I’ve noticed collections from Casual Carats reflect that same idea by combining elegant design with sentimental value. Pieces that carry personal meaning help people express identity while staying stylish. Recognizing creativity in different forms encourages more appreciation for artistry and meaningful self-expression in everyday life.

Reference article from ibiley uniforms I got some gear from and I have to say, I'm pretty impressed! The uniforms fit like a dream and are super comfortable for all-day wear. The fabric feels durable yet breathable, which is a huge plus. Plus, the footwear is stylish and provides great support—perfect for long shifts. Overall, I’d definitely recommend Ibiley for anyone looking to upgrade their work wardrobe!

Loved reading this tribute! The “sainting” of Patrick McDonnell clearly captures his kindness, creativity, and commitment to animal rights—an inspiring celebration of his work and spirit. 99 nights in the forest
