Red and Rover by Brian Basset for October 03, 2023

Ick!

Red didn’t quite understand what Rover was telling him.

I’ll take your word for it, Rover!

Oh boy, I hope Rover doesn’t have allergies. My Rugby did that when he was younger. Once hot spots, not good. Red be a good Scout and tell mom.

OMG, could Rover’s expression in the last panel be any better?!

He really should lick in the other direction. It’s best if you lick with the grain. It’s smoother and you’ll get less hairs in your mouth.

Saw that coming a mile away! O<|]:o)

If your dog licks his paws a lot, smell his paws. An odor similar to corn chips may indicate allergies or a yeast infection.

LOL… too funny. The look on Rover’s face is priceless, too…

LOL!

RED !!! – NOT LIKE THAT !!!

I loved all my dogs but no way would I lick them…..

Good thing it was only his paws

My dog licks her paws sometimes before falling asleep. I think when it’s not an allergy they do it to calm themselves before sleep. She also licks my sofa, her blanket, the carpet, her dog bed, and on occasion, my leg or hand. Just briefly, until she’s settled and is ready to sleep. She will also use my hand for a pillow.

Reminds me of The Flintstones episode where Fred says “When I nod my head, you kick it through the goalpost”

Better than licking your toes.

LOL!

PANEL 5 – SHADES OF OLIVER HARDY, JACK BENNY, ETC. I WOULD NEVER MISS A DAY OF RED AND ROVER JUST FOR ROVER’S POSTURES AND EXPRESSIONS ALONE!!! (IN THIS CASE, NO EXPRESSION EXPRESSES A LOT!) OH, BY THE WAY – DID I MENTION THAT BRIAN IS A GENIUS?

Now you’re just being silly.

Mom and a friend at work when the first computer was brought into the office. They were figuring out how to use it (no training class, of course) Friend (reading manual) “OK. First you turn it on.” Mom (giving the computer a hug) “Hello you sweet thing, you!” No further work was accomplished that day.

Rover’s expression says it all.
