Pooch Cafe by Paul Gilligan for July 11, 2009

Somehow, I don’t believe you….

It was Either you Orlando or the fish and it appears you have Plankie so hand it over.

Forget it Orlando, you’ve been caught red-pawed.

No, it’s MY plank of wood (now) Bwahahaha!!!

Poor Poncho… :( But he looks sooo cute as a puppy. And all his other brothers and sisters too! I sense another awesome story line here.

all of you are to be commended for not stooping to wood and/or carpenter jokes

Why don’t they just cut it in half, then they both can have Plankie.

meadowmarymary- that crossed my mind too, but that would be such a let down. and not exactly in character for either Poncho or Orlando

Poncho, Orlando has got his own fish (or is it Fish?). Ask him, he’s a witness to what goes on in that room.

MeadowMary you beat me to it. Maybe they should divide it or would that be like when Solomon suggested the two women divide the baby in half?? Is Plankie alive?

They treat it like it is.

Tsk, tsk Orlando……if you’re going to fib, you need to at least make it convincing by not actually holding the stolen object while you lie!

It’s been so long since we have seen fish that it makes you wonder if Orlando stole fish as well.

Upon Owning Dear Plankie

And so it is…. that in an alternate universe where the field of infinite possibilities reins supreme….. none shall truly own Plankie. (Ah, but the good will out! (as ever.)) For in one field of infinite possibilities, (also known as the Plankiverse) Orlando is merely an obstinate zietgiest manifesting (physically) as grey reflection to Poncho’s every moment of being.

No dear friends, none shall truly own dear Plankie. (Can the clouds own the stars, the mountains the oceans?

This much is so…. once there was a porch, and beneath one day; the miracle of life once again burst joyously forth. The power of that event permeated the Plankiverse and so, the humble plank above dear Poncho and obstinate Orlando was infused with excited energies and became…… Plankie!

Oh dear friends, a wonder, no, rather a great golden possibility was born, thence to begin the warp and woof of the mystery that is our sweet Poncho.

Existentially, it is the on going existence of that arboreal plank that gives to us (after all) our daily mirth. Can Plankie be owned? I say not, and so it is.

Margueritem Macushlalondra

Dear friends, thank you for your kind words. Sadly, the good wife and I had been called away to England to attend the passing of beloved relatives. After returning, I found myself a bit depressed and not wanting to attend the comics much. You have given me a gift, I feel much better for it. Blessings, Fenyugreek T. lll

Welcome back Fenyugreek, we’ve missed you. Hope you and missus are doing better.

Fenugreek, my condolences for your relatives. Welcome back, we all have missed you. The place hasn’t been the same without you!

Let the negotiations begin!

Fenyugreek: Welcome back!

oh I just love pooch cafe!!

Fenyugreek: so sorry for your loss. I have missed your comments very much. So happy to see you back!!

Welcome back Mr. Fenyugreek!

And I offer you my condolences also.

Fenyugreek, how wonderful to see you back! I’m sorry for the loss of special relatives but it’s so good to see you on the comics again!

Goodness what a great and kind response. I have set the screen where Mrs. Tubbsbottl can see it, we are both most heartened. Thanks all!

Has anyone else noticed the pedestal with FISH on it? Is Orlando going to claim he was first born so Plankie is his? Let the games begin? Is possesion really 90% of ownership? Then again they were both born under that plank so would it really belong to one pup? Those puppy pictures are so cute!
