Pooch Cafe by Paul Gilligan for August 13, 2014

Looks like something that you would see on P.B.S., Is Pastis around here somewhere ?

Good morning fans. The worn should have slept late this morning.

The early bird may get the worm, but that’s not a huge incentive.

The early worm, like a car parked under trees, gets birded…

I guess this is the start of a new arc, but I was hoping to see a follow up to Ponch digging up bones in the floor. Like maybe, an arc where Ponch is supposed to stay in a (horrors!) doghouse?

We are just seeing the one-off strips that accumulated in Gilligan’s strange mind while he wrote the last arc.

I wonder if we will see the bird with Poncho’s collar again?

Juice-Bruce’s reference to Pearls is right on; they are both strips where things appear from nowhere and the rules of space and time do not apply.

I like the one punch line sets between longer stories. This week especially, each one made me laugh out laud.

I’ve almost forgotten how great this strip is when it’s not on a huge story arc

I really don’t get why worms don’t sleep in.
