Red and Rover by Brian Basset for November 18, 2024

take me with you (ah to some .. other .. bed)

Red and Calvin seem to have so much in common; I wonder if they’re related. At least Red can discuss his problems with his parents; Calvin would either be ignored or lectured on “building character”!

Even adults sometimes feel the same way, Red!

Oh Red,

I totally get it. I am going back to bed too xo

Ill prepared for life, me too, wanna go back to bed! Whole town was without power, internet, phones from 4:30 on Sunday, then it came back on four hours after being asleep, throwing me into a tailspin. Snowstorm, winds…Yep, I feel ill prepared for life too.

I felt exactly the same way November 6. (Sigh)

Me too.

What happened to “suit up and show up”???

99% of success is ‘being there,’ Red! But I understand totally!! And you have support! Ruby is there. And Rover is also there to see you on and off the bus! Cheer up, my little darling!

When I was going to school I prepared for it with a bowl of Life Cereal.

ya might as well face it. no way anything will prepare for life. just know you’ll never have to face it alone. ;)

Never have I identified more closely with a comic strip. Nailed it, Brian.

Yep, it’s Monday

Don’t worry Red. We all have days like that and they pass.

I have days like that.

Best to go back to our caves and hibernate until 2028.

You said it, Red!

I guess Red will tell Mom he suddenly got sick… Rover would never argue about more sleep.

Life? Don’t talk to me about Life!

I ache therefore I am.

I’ve calculated your chance of survival, but I don’t think you’ll like it.

One can hide away from life but nobody can hide from what follows life afterwards.

Life will still be there when you wake up.

No one’s prepared for life.

If I had to do life again I wouldn’t!

I’m afraid it only gets worse from here.

Rover …….. You had better talk some sense to Red and have him go to school ……. like he’s suppose too ….. it’s up to you to try and keep him out of trouble …….. :)

I feel the same way some days, Red. Give Red a hug, Rover.

Hate to break it to you, kid, but every adult since the beginning of time has been winging it.

It was horrifying when I realized that.
