Red and Rover by Brian Basset for August 02, 2022

True.

But there are two of them, so their age is doubled.

Y’know, granted I’m new to this strip, but it seems to me that Red’s parents are just as inconsiderate of his feelings as Calvin’s are to his!!

Ageing is mandatory, maturity is optional……

In the not-too-distant future, Red, you’re going to kick yourself for not letting them in the pool.

Here’s to the creative team @ Leo Burnett. The Wrigley campaign in the 70’s. Double your pleasure, double your fun. That would not fly in our handwringing world today!

These girls drive my little darlings crazy! But hopefully this is over soon, and Summer life can get back to normal;)

Love Rover’s expression in the last panel!!

Love Rover’s expression… ’That’s right, Red."

“Don’t you understand that we need to be childish in order to understand? Only a child sees things with perfect clarity, because it hasn’t developed all those filters which prevent us from seeing things that we don’t expect to see.” ― Douglas Adams

Sorry, twins – I’m on Red and Rover’s side

Gee, Rover doesn’t seem puppyish to me. And Red’s logic doesn’t fly: Adult swim means no underage lifeguards.

Ain’t that the truth….

Uh-oh, Red! The Mintz Twins know The Time Warp!!

It’s just a jump to the left

And then a step to the right

Put your hands on your hips

You bring your knees in tight

Welcome to the Ool. Notice there’s no P in it. Let’s keep it that way.

In dog years, Rover is an “adult”.
