Buckles by David Gilbert for May 18, 2024

That’s what I always said…..

Alt 3rd panel, Buckles says, but there’s no mud in a bath. Jill replies, it will be in a few minutes.

Here’s mud in your eye

If he was bigger they could just run him through the car wash.

Wash him in the sink? My dog is too big, he needs the tub!

I f he is like dogs I have known, after the bath they can’t wait to roll on something, yes for a dog, dirty IS fun!

Every panel in this cartoon today are just " fantastic " for sure . I can feel for Jill in the first one , my puppy Sparky who passed sometime ago : ( was a nightmare trying to get her into the huge laundry tub . And now my precious Mandy is just the same , no way . So I take her to the groomer every 4 or 5 weeks for her cleanup . Jills expressions in the last three panes are so cute and that expression on Buckles in the third one is so lovable and the last one is the best of all . Great job by David today . " trying to give the puppies their bath " : )

Calvin himself actually once asked, “Why should I take a bath? I’ll only get dirty again.”

In the animal and the kid kingdom.

I disagree. A bath is not only water. It’s water, shampoo (or some kind of dog friendly soap) and scrubbing.

Where’s Flea???
