Red and Rover by Brian Basset for November 05, 2010

I wonder what’s in his dog food! Keep an eye on him, Red.

I knew slime molds crawl, but climb trees?

“Beware of the Blob! It creeps and leaps And glides and slides Across the floor, Right through the door And all around the wall, A splotch, a blotch. Be careful of the Blob!”

Would you believe that was written by Burt Bacharach?

BTW, I was in Downingtown earlier this week. No blobs anywhere to be seen. (A movie trivia reference for you youngsters.)

Is that Charlie Brown with a hat on that Red is talking to?

There are goats that can climb trees, so why not a dog?! (Check your back issues of NGM for the picture…)

Who moved the furniture?

Ah..tree climbing hounds.

A neighbor had one. He could not keep it contained. It climbed over chain-link fences.

Goats can climb mountains too. But dogs aren’t supposed to be able to do that…easily anyways.

Slime mold, huh? Well, OK. Long as he doesn’t think he’s a cat.

The other kid looks like he walked out of a Peanuts comic strip and into Red and Rover.
