Pickles by Brian Crane for January 31, 2024

Roscoe that’s good thinking.

Roscoe, you were chosen. That is special.

Aww, Roscoe. This is so creative and cute.

Smart dog.

I agree with roscoe

Atta boy, Roscoe!

Just wait until Roscoe finds out that he’s not going to be passing his genes on anyway. Adoption wasn’t the only thing that happened when you were a pup, Roscoe.

Your a very lucky dog, Roscoe, but they are very lucky to have you!

((“So … am I a recognized Mixed Breed in the Westminster Kennel Club — or just a plain Mongrel?”))

Dog is trying to communicate to his owner who goes by the name “Gene Pool”

It is nice that this one (and his gene pool) shares with you, Roscoe.

or the other one’s either, Roscoe…

Earl may be sedentary, but I’ve never seen Roscoe with the zooms.

Pets soon resemble their owners

Of all of the dogs at the Humane Society, they picked you.

Gene Pool?

More of a puddle, really.

Roscoe, the main thing is you’re loved by this clan.

Yes, Roscoe, consider yourself lucky!

Saw a great news item this morning. 2-12 year old dogs who are inseparable were adopted together by some kind person. A pit bull and a chiwawa(sic).

“I’ll never forget him, the leader of the pack”.

We adopted our son from Korea.. My wife & I aren’t geniuses but smart enough. But we’re glad he had his parents’ brain gene so we didn’t have to hire a tutor or help him with his homework. :)

Bad dog!

OUCH

I can’t blame Roscoe, sometimes Earl is quite the dog.

Do they ever play Pickleball in this comic? Just asking…

Roscoe REWLS. Best character in the strip!!

Roscoe thinks in English. Interesting.

Told you that was what Roscoe was thinking yesterday.

You know Earl loves you, right, Roscoe?

You aren’t her just by the chance of birth, Roscoe. You were CHOSEN.

That’s right, Roscoe. You were bred for the Dog of Destiny !

Seeing that you argue with your image in the mirror, you probably suffer a bit more harm from YOUR gene pool……Earl isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, but he probably doesn’t dine in Muffin’s litter box….just saying

HA ha ha HAAAAA

Count your many blessings.

The best breed of dog is “Rescued”.

Pretty clear to me your oxygen was cut off too long as a breech birth.

Attaboy, Roscoe…….

Roscoe, you were chosen to be a part of the family. I think that should make you feel good.

No doubt, my cats feel the same way.

Et tu, Roscoe?

This “joke” is getting old. This is like the third go round for it. Hey Brian! Just because you draw new panels and rewrite the script a bit, doesn’t make it new.
