He has a bone to pick

Toby is about to channel his inner shark.

When Bob said " I think I’ve got a bite" he didn’t mean in the butt. Toby just smiled.

What indignity. But I do get a steak bone out off it later on. Oh, well.

Scene from their new sitcom: Dogfish & Doghouse, DVM

With his design drawings initially rejected by the Ropes & Pulley club, Bob is trying the video route to show just how useful his ‘Crank-a-Dogfish’ tool can be…

Good morning Balladeers.

I think Toby is getting ready to carp about the situation…

(≖_ʖ ≖)

I’m confused about the eye bolt on the fishes back. If Bob was a true sportsman he would be using two rods, one with the bone to lure Toby out and another with a hook to snag the eye bolt. The fight is over once you get Toby’s feet off the ground.

Toby thinks he’ll lure Bob to a secluded spot to maul him.

I guess the hook is for our benefit because it won’t do Toby any good.

Let me get this straight…Toby is supposed to go after his master’s bait!?

Nice downrigger set up Bob but you should use cowbells.

Bob should be glad Toby’s not a cat. Bob would most likely be severely injured by now, at a minimum.
