    Oh!!

    It’s the world famous Brevity dog!

    Hope they find him… Brevity wouldn’t be the same without him.

    (Though I always thought he belonged to rOdd, not to Henry Krinkle.)

    Did Dan learn to draw him, or did rOdd come back to do it?

    Bonkers looks happy; his tail is wagging. Maybe he took a nip.

    Truer words were never utteredCats know which side their mice are butteredThey use us humans in their plans(We’re here to open up their cans)In other ways they tend to doubt usKnowing they can do without us

    Dogs are opposite: it’s trueYou MIGHT find some that bark at youDogs who bite and yap and growlAnd act in other ways most foulDogs with issues, quirks, and bentsWho shred your limbs and ligaments

    A Hamlet dog will bite and scratchGreat Dane as big as bandersnatchA Iago dog can be a smilerTurn from poodle to rottweilerAnd body parts they often severThe dreaded Labrador “retrever”

    But if a dog is friendly firstHe’s friendly last, e’en at your worstIf you are late with bits and kibblesHe’ll eat the neighbor’s cats (or tribbles!)And then off to his well-earned restPeople with dogs are truly blessed

    Thanks, Dan!I’ve wondered.

    Glad to see some “Brevity Style” is being preserved, though of course you add your own touch.I’ve loved this comic for a loooong time.I don’t begrudge rOdd a few pina coladas…I’m sure he wishes he were off someplace drinking them.

    Is Bonkers related to the dog of Bliss comics. They resemble each other and drive cars.

    Possibly a little Thurber influence for the dog?
