Red and Rover by Brian Basset for May 27, 2014

Gotta get Mapquest, Red! ;)

Fetch, Rover!

I sneezed a sneeze into the airand it landed I know not wherebut hard and cold were the looks of thosein who’s vicinity I had snoze

Keep in mind (always) that this comic is set in the carefree, fun-loving 1960’s. There were no GPS chips or Mapquest in that era.

I shot many rockets in the air during the carefree, fun-loving 1960’s. I never found any of them.

I lost a bunch of rockets in the 60’s also, because I quickly realized it was wise NOT to put my name and phone number in the rocket. Some did not appreciate things dropping into their yard. and then there was the time the rocket came down in flames, in a very dry patch of weeds(we got the fire out).

Doing this today would likely garner a visit from a variety of local “officials”; not to mention the NSA, who could consider it a threat to their drones!

this is the only strip in my local paper that showed respect for Memorial Day. I will read this till i die
