Red and Rover by Brian Basset for January 07, 2012

That’s one way to resist temptation…at least until they show the Milky Bone commercials!

Rover has his eyes closed – hilarious!

But Burt Lahr was so good in those commericals that they were worth watching for him alone.

That’s why God created DVR…comericals gone in a flash.

And how many commercials did you have to ignore before you could read the strip? I count 6. Remember when you could buy a newspaper for a nickel and the comics were all together on two pages? And the classifieds were a seperate section that you could ignore if you wanted? Ah, yes. There were truly some things that were better in the ‘good all days’.

I don’t think I want to take that bet.

been there done that….it doesn’t work

Red needs a DVR or a Tivo! I feel his pain, especially when a certain commercial comes on with an annoying tune playing in the background. I turn the volume down or surf during the overlong commercial breaks. :-(

In the late 1960’s one of my favorite commercials

was the “Green Giant”(Ho-Ho-Ho) I didn’t know how

green he was until we got a color set in 1970.

Remember Speedy Alka Seltzer?
