Red and Rover by Brian Basset for July 10, 2012

Isn’t it a violation of the Geneva Convention to lower G.I. Joe into the center of the earth?

Rover, you don’t have to dig your way to China for Chinese food.

G. I. Joe always came through!

Is that like sending a canary into the mine? Good thinking, Red!

…and, Red, Rover’s going to need a bath before you take him into the house.

Rover is beginig to think this sounds like real work!!

My father once tried to tell me that it was possible to dig through to China, but since we had a globe in the house, I was able to tell him that if I did dig straight through, I’d come up in the middle of the Indian Ocean.If you go here, you can find where you’ll come up if you dig from wherever you live through the center of the Earth.Hint: The only places from which you can dig straight through the center to China are in southern South America (roughly south of 19° latitude).
