Pooch Cafe by Paul Gilligan for April 24, 2021

Carmen’s going to need a tomato juice bath herself soon.

Now you’re on a roll(-on) and wish you could roll back time, huh?

That is one Secret you won’t be able to keep Poncho!

Carman’s roll-on ain’t gonna cover all of your pits, Poncho!

You must not tell anyone else of this solution – it’s a Secret.

…even in cribbage…getting skunked is not a good thing…

Six months from now, the last lingering smell will finally go away.

Panel 4 — an image forever burned into my mind.

Two wrongs do not make a right. Neither scent will win in a fight. I think you still stink.

Work on that last sentence and could have a splendid poem.

those fighting words!

Get hold of the teen-loved “Axe” spray – I think it is strong enough to cover a skunks spray!

Note, in real life once a skunk sprays something it has it can’t spray again until he builds up more essense in it’s body, can take a couple of days.

That will go over well…..

And here I was thinking that the increased odor was from Poncho after being surprised by the idea of a bath.

Yeah, that should mask a double helping of skunk junk…

Too many people like Poncho who think throwing on some deodorant or body spray negates their stink

I’ll just loudly talk about how I’m going to sneak in!

Hope Carmen has a spare. She’ll need to toss this one. Dog hair, ick! :)

But not to mask skunk stench.

“I have not yet begun to stink…”

yes but it’s a secret

Which points out the lie of calling them deodorants. On top of that, the only thing that will mask/take care of that smell is an air-tight container.
