Red and Rover by Brian Basset for January 17, 2025

And here we thought that Red had the flaming hair…

He’s a bit nervous and on fire.

Martin is all fired up for a hot date!

He’s ironing his flat head? Or is that a way to get rid of his zits?

Couldn’t happen to a less deserving person!

Silly boy.

Come on baby light my fire!

Who knew Martin was such hot stuff!

I know a lot of girls who ironed their hair straight (mine was naturally poker-straight), but I didn’t know GUYS did that too.

I remember olive green telephones and (usually) girls ironing their hair. But Martin?!

Hang up and call 911!

That’s what happens when you never wash the greasy slime out of your hair.

It is revealed that Martin is not only mean, he’s dumb!

I like how Red is holding the phone with the cord wrapped around his hand. A small detail that brings back memories of using the good old corded telephone!

Vanity has its price!

Couldn’t happen to a nicer (NOT!) big brother……

Rover took the day off?

Is ironing one’s hair still a thing? I wore mine very long in High School (early ’70s) and have utterly straight hair. Girls I knew would accuse me of ironing it.

Omg…. I think I know why Mom and Dad did not buy Martin a dog…

I thought it was only girls that used to iron their hair.

He’d do better to pump iron.

…..maybe cancel???
