Tails of Tottering Hall brings to life the antics of black Labrador Slobber and springer spaniel Scribble, along with assorted canine friends. Slobber has a firm place in both Dicky's and Daffy's affections and his relationship with each of them reveals much about their individual idiosyncrasies as well as their relationships with others. What shines through the cartoons is the important role that dogs play in family life and if you are a dog lover you will identify with much of what occurs within these pages.
