Drabble by Kevin Fagan for January 14, 2024

It would be good if those who watch CNN, MSNBC, and other “news” sources would learn from this.

I read in a dog training book that when you holler at your dogs when they’re barking they think you’re barking too! So I make a point to lower my voice (less than normal speaking levels) when trying to get my dachshund to quit barking and he definitely pays more attention to me and listens better when I do

But “Reality TV?” Bark all ya want, Wally!

Love how they have the same facial expression in the final panel!

I talk to the people on TV all of the time. They never listen!

You were saying, Ralph?

I’m sure Wally understood all of that.

Wally is hilarious when he’s barking. I’d read Drabble just to see him go into his routine. And then with Ralph in that last panel … I’m still laughing.

Back in the day, reminds me of my mother. I had to show her the box that the vhs tape came in.

This reminds me of some books my kids read when they were young. “Choose your own adventure” books, where at certain points you can decide what a character will do, and go to the page where that is how the story continues.
