Buckles by David Gilbert for May 28, 2024

Buckles, you are being outsmarted by a sneaky, snarky squirrel…..

Floss your teeth with scrappy’s tail

Scrappy is a bully. You need to learn how to deal with bullies, Buckles.

Generations of Buckles’ wolf ancestors simultaneously give a deep sigh and eye roll.

Forget your training and allow your instincts to show you how to handle squirrels!

I do not see you encumbered by a chain, so chase after him Buckles, my dog would have him up into a tree by now! You are a very good dog, Buckles!

Spray him with a water hose.

Proceed to bite off Scrappy’s tail to hang over your doghouse entrance to warn off other squirrels.

I just love Buckles expression in the third panel : ) I hate to be cruel but , maybe the tree trimmers are in the neighborhood ? ……… A chipper ? : )

The squirrel would leave if you bit off his tail Buckles.

Just grab him by the tail and throw him to Kingdom Come, Buckles.

And that is why the neighbor’s dogs dragged ‘Sassy Squirrel’ by the tail through the chainlink fence into their yard. There they finished him off.

Alot of violence is suggested here. Buckles is a puppy. Maybe he should not be left alone outside until he is old enough to tell the squirrel to get lost.

rrrr…
