Buckles by David Gilbert for May 17, 2023

That was a cheep shot.

No, Arden, that wasn’t very nice.

But, you get fed, don’t have to work, don’t have to pay bills or taxes, there are some advantages!

Aww Buckles, don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. You have a wonderful life. Jill and Paul love you and take good care of you and I love you too! ❤

You get to snooze whenever you want. Back scratches and belly rubs on demand, a dog’s life can be pretty good.

Sure didn’t Arden I thought you were his buddie

That was real smooth, Arden.

Arden …… your right, your not helping …… maybe be a little bit more positive …… :)

While I haven’t been reading Buckles all that long, he does seem to have moments of angst. He will maybe cuddle up with his people later in the day and remember why being a loved dog is a pretty good thing.

Alternate line for Arden in the third panel: “You aren’t even subscribed to Spotify Premium.”

But we like you, Buckles—just because you’re a good dog!

Not one bit, Arden.
