Coming Soon đ At the beginning of April, youâll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
Puddles and Frank both like to watch that educational health show that used to airâŠ. hosted by Slam No-bodyâŠ. â If someone says to another: âLets get in shapeâ, are they just âwasting their breathâ? One can remind them that they already are . After all, round is a shapeâŠâŠ. â Does it also mean that if you eat something thatâs âfat freeâ that you âhave no tasteâ?
âFit As A GriddleââFull Of BeansââGetting A Kick Out Of Kicking HealthââPyramids And PlatesââHealth UnconsciousââSee Food DietââLifestyles Of The Rich And Famous AmosââRabbit Food Is For The BirdsâorâWhereâs The Beef?â
Growing up in the 70s, we had âeducational programsâ like this one , âMulligan Stewâ, this one , âThe Inside Story With Slim Goodbodyâ, and a few other showsâŠ.. â Good times, good timesâŠ.
I would care about my diet and weight and visit the doctor If, said doctor could guarantee absolutely, that I would live forever. They canât so Iâll eat as I please, drink as I please until I die⊠when I die, I die. Over, finis, âdo not resuscitate⊠and SCREW⊠The HEALTH CARE / HEALTH FOOD INDUSTRY.
âOr they pee uncontrollably? Iâm not sure which.â ^Hey- maybe for some days, it may seem like it for olâ Frank. Especially if the line in the Menâs room at work was a little too long in the dayâŠ
âBrought to youâ byâŠSmeariosâŠ.. âThe âOâ shape reminds you how many taste buds will know what hit themââŠ.from âGeneral Spillsâ⊠â Cheaties⊠âthe Shortcut of Champions!â⊠â And by⊠â Birdsâ sigh Frozen Foods⊠âWell, somebodyâs gotta eat itâŠâ
Back in high school I had a cat that developed a tendency to form kidney stones. Vet put him on distilled drinking water and canned food with a maximum of 2% âashâ content. And we could find that on the label of every brand. Just try to find out the ash content of whatever youâre eating.
How old is Puddles? Well, since Luann started out as a 6-year old and now seems to be about 18, Puddles is presumably 12 years older than when the strip started. Dogs donât go on forever (neither do humans), but this is quite feasible, and he could easily go on for several more years.
âDonât forget such great products like:.Birdseye Birdseyes.and .Flyspeckâs Fleaspecksâ ^I actually considered doing a testimonial for both of those products. I was going to âstray from the scriptâ and warn people⊠Itâs a travesty! Their products donât actually contain any of what their label says they do. False advertising is just plain wrong!
The Canine Grading System: If something passes, and meets with his approval, he stamps his paw print on it. And if not, he lifts his leg on it! HA HA! (ROFL!)
So, technically , youâre still correct, since he wasnât in the beginning (as in the first week), and this one is 9 months later⊠but itâs in the same year as the stripâs debutâŠ
Iâm sitting this one out, today. A little too close to home. My sisterâs beagle mix was sick for the past 1-2 weeks with some kind of bacterial infection. We donât know what caused it (and wonât know, unless we were willing to do a liver biopsy (way too dangerous and invasive)), but he is responding very well to anti-biotics and doing mucb better. But she (my sister) is doing things like making sure we donât leave cat food out for the dog to eat (although weâre told that shouldnât be an issue). Weâll see.
(Re: ââtheobromine.ââ Raisins/grapes are just as toxic. I like to bake using lots of raisins (hey, what can I tell youâŠI was born in California!). Fortunately, IS Katie does not seem to like them at all. We Carefully watch what she eats at all times (sometimes she can be Absolutely Disgusting about eating some âinsert proper word hereâ)! Regarding chocolateâŠwhen she seems interested, all I have to say is âNo chocolate for the girl!,â and she goes off her merry wayâŠnever begs us to give her any after that! ;)

Iâm off to see the wizard for the time beingâŠsee yâall tonight! ;)-âââââââââââââââââââââââââââââThe web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together: our virtues would be proud if our faults whipped them not; and our crimes would despair if they were not cherished by our own virtues.â

Yeah, I think so too. Seems pretty much the case, I think, with Puddles. They have the âadvantageâ of not needing âage cuesâ and can be depicted as being just about any age, unlike the human comic characters, where you can know a âkidâ is a kid, a teen is a teen, etcâŠ.

Puddles is all dog, and very discriminating. Frank likes ice cream bars.How much do they have in common? Maybe not too muchâŠ.

Well, just make sure itâs not made in China and that it doesnât have plastic by products.

Trivia question of the day:
Find the last strip prior to this one where Puddles lived up to his name.

Smart dog, he can read. All the dogs I know will eat anything, they especially love garbage day when the trash is knocked over by wild animals.

Pet food is not marketed to pets. They canât read and donât buy it. Thus the junk.

Those dog foods might taste good, Puddles. Who knows?
donwestonmysteries about 4 years ago
Well, we know what Puddles thinks about weight control. Wonder if our pets have the same feelings.
