Red and Rover by Brian Basset for January 02, 2025

It wasn’nt a slow tree. It was’nt a fast tree. It was a half fast tree! Please don’t block me!

Someone should tell Red’s parents: you don’t discard an Xmas tree in a garbage can! You put it by the curb so that it could be taken and turned into mulch to help keep other trees and plants alive during the winter.

That poor tree! What a sad ending after all that Christmas cheer.

The Twelve Days of Christmas are not over yet.

That last panel has been said or thought of by more kids than one could imagine.

I thought Red would have said “more presents for the both of us” after all Rover is his bestest pal.

The more the better, Red ;)

Misplaced blame.

Value of tree placed on presents??

Maybe your brother filched a few of your gifts, Red.

Christmastide does not end January 1, but January 5.

According to Billy of Family Circus, you need to get a tree with not too many branches on the bottom, so that there’s ROOM underneath for more and bigger presents.

Rover was content …… he got his bones ….. for treats ….. :)

Should have put it alone out by the curb… so Rover could pee on it ! LOL…

Depends on where you live. We have 3 large cans available per week. One is for yard recycling ONLY. Yes, you are to put your tree in there, as long as the lid fully closes on it. So we put the tree in all the way (about 4’) and then cut off what is sticking out and shove it down the side. ALL that is in there gets taken to yard recycling and gets chewed into mulch.

Or take the trees to a farm and feed the goats
