Mother Goose and Grimm

By Mike Peters

Once upon a time, long ago (1984) and far away (sunny Florida), an award-winning editorial cartoonist (Mike Peters) created a hilariously funny comic strip ("Mother Goose and Grimm") that features a rough and tumble bull terrier (Grimmy), his absentminded caretaker (Mother Goose), and their storybook friends (Snow White, Rapunzel, Pinocchio, Dracula, and many other folk and fairy tale heroes and heroines).
