When fan art and awesome collide
Last week a reader named Julie Watson sent over this illustration of Chuck and Coco and mentioned that while she thought Chuck was suited to be dressed as a Chinese zen master, she was unable to resist adorning him with a monocle. I think she hit it right on the money, if you ask me:
Jon saw this and couldn't breathe for two days straight. I'm thinking these would make great halloween costumes, although now that I think about it, what costumes would you suggest for the dogs this year? Sky's the limit!
UPDATE:

I think Chuck would look great in lederhosen!

OMG...Donny and Marie! Chuck as Donny...purple socks, technicolor dreamcoat. Coco as Marie. Huge floppy wig, giant eyelashes, and a little of puppies and giant bottle of menopause relief drink strapped to her back!

-->Can you dress them up as Jon and Kate?
I think Coco with Kate's hairstyle and Jon smoking would be classic...

Now that I see Chuck in a monocle and top hat, all I can think about is Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.

I've had KISS on the brain lately, as my kids have suddenly become hooked on them. I'm thinking Coco as The Demon and Chuck as The Starchild.

That picture is absolutely hilarious! Love it!
I don't have any halloween ideas either, but I'm sure whatever you decide will be incredible!

This is totally unrelated but I would like to say that every time I see a picture of Chuck I get more and more annoyed that my dog won't allow me to stack things on his head. Stupid...useless...dog...

Ha! Yesterday at Petsmart, I totally asked the cashier if she had ever seen a top hat made for dogs and she looked at me like I was a crazy person.

Dude! THAT is AWESOME. Tell us if this Julie Watson person will let us pay her to do this with our own pets! And if she will, how do we contact her to do it?

No costume idea here. Just had to say to Julie Watson: This is brilliant!

I'm not sure how you could pull it off, but ever since that picture of Coco running back and forth with Chuck standing there watching, I have always thought of Coco as the road runner and chuck and the coyote. Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Aw, this reminds me of my dogs - we affectionately refer to one as a philosophy major and the others as a leisure studies major.
As far as costumes - I heard Kirk & Spock are going to be popular options this year.

I don't have anything intelligent to say. But I'm laughing. A lot. So I thought you should know.

I don't think I can come up with anything better than you could... I just wanted to say thanks for getting rid of that blackberry ad that was all over the page.

I've never commented before and I have absolutely no Halloween costume suggestions. Love your blog and all kinds of kudos and things, BUT....
I just wanted to say that the picture is AMAZING. That woman captured those dogs in such an incredible way! Absolutely tremendous work!
10.14.09 - 08:37 AM / 22Melissa said:
OMG, that picture is HILARIOUS! I think that for Halloween, you should dress them as Ferris Bueller (Coco) and the high school principal (Chuck)...
10.14.09 - 08:38 AM / 23Meghan said:
Chuck should be the Dalai Lama and Coco should be a cracked out Britney Spears.
10.14.09 - 08:38 AM / 24Elizabeth_K said:
These are the perfect costumes, no changes needed!
10.14.09 - 08:38 AM / 25Mark said:
These are fantastic. Chuck is all serious and Coco is totally high on LSD. Perfect!

hehehehehe Super cute! I don't do the dress my animals thing but if you could make those into costumes that would be funny.
10.14.09 - 08:41 AM / 27Meredith said:
That is both cute and hilarious. I love how Coco is a hippy. Very clever and talented on Julie Watson's part!
