Poncho: So... you're my brother? Dog: Orlando. A pleasure to meet you. Poncho: And you were adopted the day after me by a multi-multi-millionaire? Dog: I suppose he was wealthy, but it's the love that's really important, isn't it? Poncho: I bet you don't even know what dry dog food tastes like. Dog: What's "dog food"? Poncho: Cough Cough HACK COUGH cough... Chazz: Deep breaths, Poncho! Arms up!

LOL! trust me, I have friends that spoil their dogs that they ONLY eat human food (steak, chicken (properly cooked & boneless), broccoli, carrots, etc… When I am done laughing at them, I am amazed on how healthy the dogs are. :)

Brother, not a twin - check out the shoulder triangle thingies.

farren, I believe those shoulder triangle thingies are their collars. interesting how no one complains about drawing details here like they do on Dick Tracy.

Just because they are not identical, does not preclude them being twins. If they came from the same litter they would still be fraternal twins. However, since most puppy litters are closer to six, they are more than likely sextuplets.

JonD17 - Good point. There are comics with very good art that are not very well written. There are comics with less artistic value that are very well written. There are some that excel at both. The problem with the current Dick Tracy seems to be that people feel there is a lack of quality in either. Doc, I am in complete agreement with your assessment and was hoping someone would respond to my wondering. Poncho has NEVER failed to give me a laugh ever since I first stumbled across him. Having had dogs all my life, I have experienced Sooooo many of his antics. I feel this is a very cleverly done strip. In its own style the artwork is extremely accurate.

I just found this comic when they had the hurricane come through. I was hooked waiting to see what would happen to the fish.
