Thurber’s Dogs on KWAX Dog Days Summer

Thurber’s Dogs on KWAX Dog Days Summer

by 

Hopefully these storms that will be rolling through New Jersey this afternoon and tonight will cool things down a bit. As it stands, this week on “Sweetness and Light,” I’ll be lying by my water bowl. We’ll be going to the dogs for the dog days of summer. To get you in the mood, someone put together this animation inspired by humorist James Thurber’s dog cartoons and the music of Peter Schickele. Hear Schickele’s “Thurber’s Dogs” again this Saturday morning at 11:00 EDT/8:00 PDT on “Sweetness and Light.” I’ll be panting right along with you on KWAX, the radio station of the University of Oregon. And yes, the program will be available for streaming, wherever you are, at the times indicated, by following the link:
