Red and Rover by Brian Basset for December 29, 2024

Why can’t they call it “Milk Bone”? Are there rules against “product placement” in the comics??

All that effort just for 1/4 of a dog biscuit!

Don’t knock dog biscuits until you’ve tried them!

Love the wintry scene . Red, Rover, time to build a snow fort. We built a bunch of them as kids. Then we would come home for grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup. Ahhhhh!

Well that’s enough incentive for Rover, mush my dear Red, mush.

Half is better than none in dog logic and anyone dieting

Life is like that, guys. But for Red and Rover, it should be just fine!

…..it is that trudge to happy destiny!!!!!!

Reminds me of the final Calvin and Hobbs. New adventures await with a fresh drop of snow or in this case New Year.

if we don’t keep moving ahead life will pass up by. right now only a few years left until retirement is my milky bone

Has Red not learned basic fractions yet? Or is he dumbing it down for Rover?

Milky Bone Mush? Yum!

Schrodinger’s Milky Bone?

I bet Red has secretly tried Milky Bones ;)

I thought Panel 4 would trigger the politically triggerable!! Maybe the triggerable are recovering from whatever condition causes cartoons to trigger them!!

The little village I grew up in was mostly a post-WWII development still lacking many amenities when we were there. We had shallow drainage ditches in the parkways that were crossed by driveways, making a hilly terrain when it snowed. We got a lot of snow back then. Two years in a row I took my sled and “went to Antarctica” — i.e, dragged my sled the length of the entire block through those snow-filled ditches, up and over the driveways, and back down into the ditches. It was a fairly long block and quite an accomplishment for a 10-yo girl. After those two years, like Jackie Paper, I no longer “went to Antarctica”. I read recently that one of the village improvements instituted since we moved away was that they filled in the ditches. sigh.
