Seven comments from 2009! Some points are not clear. Is Buzzy chained up? Is Norm a door-to-door salesman? Does Norm have any dog cookies in his pocket? These things could make all the difference.
(Last chance this year for a February Cleo strip!)
And wow… it is beautiful, Stel.
Liz Howler was certainly lovely back then, wasn’t she?
Still young, before all the excesses of her later years.
Of course, I didn’t get to see this movie it when it was new…
my mother thought I was much too young for the adult themes…
not to mention Liz vamping about in her slip, acting, as my father put it, like a …a… well, like a female dog in heat.(And I thought he was talking about the hot weather in the South.)
Did you know the humans tried to copy this one?
Well, why would you doubt it… they try to steal all the great basset films.
But look:

That human Liz…. she’s nothing but a pale pink imitation of Liz Howler.
They couldn’t call her Maggie the Basset, could they… cos that was already taken…
so they cast her as a CAT??
C’mon…. she looks nothing like a cat.
Why, she doesn’t even have any fur!
She’s obviously not as soft and seductive as Ms. Howler.
And her eyes are some kind of strange violet color…. no proper sort of brown at all.
I just don’t get it.
Come on down to the Tiki and we’ll discuss it……
just be careful if you walk on Walnut Street, between Yulupa and Cherry…
I heard Buzzy got out again, and he feels territorial.
Well, all you guys can get excited over the sultry Liz Howler, but I’m going to watch the movie to see that bedroom-eyed Pauly Newhound. Now he’s a bone-a-fido dreamboat!
I was just imagining if Cleo got the part of the Basset on a Hot Tin Roof……..she’d be walking upright kind of tip toeing across the hot roof. Carrying a bag of kibble. Stel, you did well in casting Miss Howler.

A firm smack with that briefcase should fix that.

Norm thanks his lucky stars that it’s only a dog and not a chimp on Xanex.

Norm. Now would be a GREAT time to try out that golf swing with your briefcase.

Where every dog knows his name.

You can’t put a basset on a hot tin roof without sparks flying! And Barks and Bone are the greatest writing team since Songry and Shar (pei).
I am curious about Ohio Clifford. Is he or she a long lost relative? Maybe the connection will be made with a “23 and me” search.

He’s small, but toothy and determined.

Maggie the Basset is gorgeous!
Liverlips McCracken Premium Member over 5 years ago
That is some kind of sultry, come-hither look on Liz Howler’s face in that poster. Woof!
Heel, boy.
