Pooch Cafe by Paul Gilligan for December 06, 2023

did you hear crickets Poncho?

I could see Panel 4 coming!

I’m mentioning this here because you can’t comment on the 9 CHICKWEED LANE comics. (In the latest episode Edda reveals that she isn’t pregnant after all, and Amos mentions that they’d decided not to have any more children.)

I was half-hoping for an “Edda aborts” storyline! (The strip’s been in a rut lately…)

If you can’t say anything nice …

I woulda said “I’m relieved!”

“Uh, you’re standing behind a piece of cardboard.”

Like the end of that Star Trek episode where they watch Kirk’s last words and then pretend they didn’t…..

…

We come to bury Poncho, not to praise him. The evil that dogs do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones. So let it be with Poncho.

Fish made a couple of bubbles ~~ that could be good or bad.

Funerals, memorials and celebrations of life are for the living.  If something is deserving to be said at those events it deserves to be said to them while they’re still alive.

Not sure whether they knew the TV was fake.

…looks like the fish burped at least!

Poncho …… You forgot the knobs on the TV …… :)
