Get your hot dachshund sausages!

Dorgan didn't know how to spell dachshund.

The next day at the newspaper office he drew a bun which contained a dachshund inside - not a dachshund sausage, but a dachshund.

Dachshund sausages first became popular in New York, especially at baseball games.

As the men walked up and down the rows of people, they shouted, "Get your dachshund sausages!"

When he saw the salesgirl selling dachshund sausages, he got an idea for a cartoon.
