Citizen Dog by Mark O'Hare for May 17, 2012

Can somebody with eyes that actually work decipher this for me? Thanks in advance.

@ Chefwen:At the end of a long day…When shadows lie long upon the grass…Before the sun falls below the trees…A dog likes to stand in front of his home and pause for one final moment of quiet reflection…About what he’s having for dinner.

Pizza!

I’d prefer to reflect on something else. Almost anything else.

Good Morning, cleo, sugar, Fellow Baby & the rest of the CD gang!

good morning people and petshappy, happy, happy!!!wow. he waits to the end of the day?Fergus, you are more patent than my boy.

I also have that dread of dentists, and feel a world of relief when told all is well. Good luck!!!

This strip definitely needs the magnify option!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I could provide the text because my iPad can be stretched big, but alas! I am the late one!

I oftentimes go out on the back deck, overlooking the Manhan River and the Berkshire Mountains in the distance, and quietly reflect on that day’s dinner possiblilties…Then, satisfied with my decision, I look at the sunset once more and go back into the house and…

decide…

Good morning, Lonewolf, cleokaya, puppybreath, Dry, sugie, Citizen GROG!, x_Tech, JP Steve, noicantspell, nighthawks, Shikamoo, Greg Trail, chefwen, JKissmya, mightaswellbe, IMudd, serenasakitty, Lingee Whiz, Peabody-Martini, Saucy1121, Wolind Quark, bmdnut, Plods with Beer and CDers everywhere!

@ JKissmya

Do not forget that 3rd left! Many people miss it.

I’m going to give up on this strip. What’s the point if you can’t read it?

I pretty much live my life just like today’s strip, but like Grog, pizza is not on the top of my list of dinner wishes.Good morning to all of the Citizens of Dog out standing in their yards.

stel ol’ bell, sometimes I go out on my deck overlooking the quiet , tranquil cesspool that gurgles it’s merry tune of gas relief every few minutes. The unbelievably horrific odors belching out of it permeates the surrounding neighborhood bringing pleasant reminders of a backed up toilet in a Tijuanasaloon. In the distance, through the thick layers of smog I can just make out the nearby slums of the nearby large city, baking in the early summer heat amidst a a steamy cloud of insects, haze, unbearable humidity and disgustingly foul odors of things long since dead, I can quietly reflect on my dinner possibilities. Satisfied with MY decision, I stagger back into the shack I call home and went about the business of preparing my choice of dinner.I opened up another can of warm beer. The darn fridge is on the blink again and my slum lord doesn’t seem to want to answer my calls.Think I’ll go out on the deck again watch the cess pool gurgle and cozily sip my beer.ah, life!

Why can’t we enlarge this comic?

Hey pizza works for me, especially if I don’t have to cook it!

Good morning Fellow Baby, cleo and sugie!

Thanks, StelBel

Well beer may not be what’s for dinner for me, but at times it’s what’s for desert – especially on weekends & vacations. Cheers!

StelBel, I thought you were going to say

nighthawks

shika re your comment last night: your friends dad was a tunnel??!! (Sorry Girl, I could not resist that one!)

Good morning kids. Hope the world is spinning your way today. Day 3 and the saga continues. New co is supposed to be out sometime today. Have my TKD belt test today, I’m going for my orange belt, so the garden hose is calling my name now. I can’t kick through 3 boards without feeling up to par..Ah to have a dogs life, where your biggest thought is of what to eat..StelBel it wouldn’t be the first time I took 3 lefts to make a right.

Well I’m glad that i’m not going blind. As Dry said use your tool option and ZOOM to a larger size. It works for me.

Good Morning Grog (welcome back), Dry. Cleo. Lonewolf, StelBel, puppybreath, noicantspell and all CDers out there squinting and trying to read CD.

Did you ever eat in a German- Chinese restaurant? Half an hour later you are hungry FOR POWER!

Everybody here knows the “Ctrl+” and “Ctrl-” options to enlarge and shrink images on a PC, do they? It doesn’t improve resolution, but does make things bigger.

Good morning all!!

“StelBel it wouldn’t be the first time I took 3 lefts to make a right”……………………………………………………………………………I’m glad the directions I sent were helpful.

(BTW, GOOD LUCK with your TKD belt test today!! Hope that cold garden hose shower left you energized and focused! And, have you let the septic system folks know that you are a martial arts expert………?)

@ Dry

Actually, a bucket of chicken does not sound bad…

That would be a great idea for supper. I’ll take KFC, but I prefer Popeye’s. I think Fellow Baby would too. They’ve got chicken that’s kicked up a notch – but probably not enough for her taste.

nighthawks neighborhood.

Thank you for the text! (and the chili)

what, nobody could come up with a picture of a Tijuana saloon?you guys are slipping

x_tech, HA! I wish!that shot you posted was in the posh part of town we all have dreams of moving up to someday. They are so snooty with their black and white television sets and high fidelity record players and Ford Pintos , always looking down their noses at us. I myself, have been allowed in there for brief periods of time but only to clean their swimming pools and to manicure the lawns of their sprawling estates. If you look closely , you can see that this , of course, is a gated community. If they didn’t we riff-raff would run rampant amongst them.. And honestly, who would want wretched riff raff running rampant?

Shika, that movie is a classic and a part of my DVD library. But you can also see it quite often on TCM or AMC.

Ah, I hope you used an instrument to test the digester…. I have an awful taste in my mouth reading this.

Shika, I actually went to a Popeyes in New Orleans way back in 87 when I was still living in Montreal. There are a few here in the Bay area as well. It’s much better than KFC in my opinion.

No TV? I practically have one for each room. I don’t like missing a moment of a football game. Other than that and the local news the only other channel I’ll watch consistently is TCM. beyond that I use my TV to watch DVD’s, like I am now.

Shika, I never heard of Chester – but I’ve tried Church’s. And I’ll never do that again.

!!!the form i was worried about getting before leaving Az. showed up today. the clerk i talked to told me to expect it in eight to ten business days. i got in four.

happy, happy! joy, joy!

Sleepy. Good night far-sighted Citizens of Dog.

Good night, Sleepy Shika

Good for you, noicant

Fellow Baby, I would like Popeyes better, huh? “They’ve got chicken that’s kicked up a notch – but probably not enough for her taste.” In other words, it’s spicy but not HOT HOT like I like it! LOL!

I just received some not good news from a friend, so I will read today’s toons and say goodnight Citizens of Dog. Don’t feel it would be appropriate to joke around tonight.

noicant glad you got the paperwork you need. Try to de-stress as you make your way to the PNW. I hear it is BEAUTIFUL there!

Sorry to hear about that, Fellow Baby

As for Popeye’s, give it a try. I still think a little kick is better than no kick at all.

brain jelly…night all.

I just found out that a good friend of mine’s dog is very Ill. I know that his dog means the world to him and it is such a worry for me as well. I hate to see this . Dogs are so easy to love and demand so little. They should be in our lives for a much longer piece of time.

Very well said ((((((((cleo)))))))
