The Comic Within the Comic

Dolma & Hummus

In the world of Pico the Parrot, Stooge draws a comic strip. And inside that comic strip, Stooge draws another comic strip.

Dolma and Hummus are two dachshunds — fictional neighbors in Stooge's strip-within-the-strip. They have opinions. They have a routine. They are deeply convinced that they are the main characters, which is not technically Pico's problem but he has noted it.

Pico finds this entire arrangement mildly insulting. Two dogs. Their own strip. He has not said anything. He has thought many things.
