Geeky Variations of "Dogs Playing Poker"

Cassius Marcellus Coolidge's iconic images of dogs playing poker (or pool) have captivated audiences for more than a century. They have been oft modified and parodied, including these geeky variations:

Ewoks playing poker by deviantART user IC Kessler.

Ewoks (who fail to understand the wisdom of letting the Wookie win) playing poker by an unknown artist. (via Cool Star Wars Photos)

Cylons playing poker by Anthony J. Cox.

Slivers from Magic: The Gathering playing poker by Tom Jenkot.

Classic horror movie monsters playing poker by Fiona Staples

Modern horror movie monsters playing poker by Ray Frenden. (via SuperPunch)

Wolverines playing poker by Paolo Rivera (via SuperPunch)

Marvel Comics heroes playing poker by Andrea DiVito.

Inuyasha characters playing poker by deviantART user ladybattuosai

Classic Nintendo game characters playing poker by Mike Mitei.

Cartoon sidekick dogs (Muttley, Krypto the Superdog, Dynomutt, and one other) playing poker by Ken Cursoe (via Popped Culture).


UPDATE:

Computer dogs playing poker by deviantART user ~Smaggers. Thanks to Drew Northcott for the tip.

Nice collection - I love themed posts like this and should do more myself. The Ewoks one was inspired.

Johnny Cat said...

These are all so wonderful. I love the dogs playing poker meme, it's a classic.

John said...

Thanks, all!

Jeremy -- I notice that the Ewoks only cheated when alone. I guess that they didn't need to when facing a Wookie.

Johnny Cat -- this image was in the header of my blog for about three years. For me, it represents a beautiful synthesis of elite skill and proletarian tastes. Coolidge made fine art accessible to Joe Six-Pack.

Great collection!

The dogs you missed in the last picture are Bandit, from Johnny Quest, and WonderDog, from Superfriends...

Not to be picky, but aren't the robots centurians, not cylons? Those don't look like skinjobs to me!

I made a 3D variation with Geckos:

John said...

The Elvis and gecko pics are quite good! I remember seeing the gecko one as I was combing through deviantART.

I wouldn't be surprised that I got the Cylon one wrong. I'm almost wholly unfamiliar with the BSG franchise.

stainless steel flanges said...

Mild steel is the most common form of steel. It is not brittle. its really hard. It is cheap. It is often used when large amounts of steel are needed.
In mild steel there are negligeble alloying elements which has no effect on physical & chemical properties of MS. On the other hand due to alloying elements [ Ni & Cr ] oxidation is avoided.
