Pickles by Brian Crane for October 27, 2022

They could order a new collar and have it mailed to them, but there is a risk that Roscoe might attack the mailman.

Reminds me of Ozy and Millie.

Doesn’t appear that the bath did any good. Roscoe is still scratching.

Do you have something that you normally wear or have with you where you would kind of feel like you’re walking around naked if you don’t have it on or with you?

For example: “I would feel naked without my watch.” … “… or my keys.”

Don’t want them running around naked either.

Roscoe doesn’t mind, Opal!

I’ll bet Roscoe is easier to draw without a collar…!

I hope he is chipped! Usually the first thing animal control will do is scan for a chip.

A missing dog collar is probably tolerable, but where is his dog license tag?

Roscoe could show them where his collar is, but he’s too busy enjoying a collarless skin scratch to be bothered!

Uhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmm………….. never mind

It reminds me of the old joke about the difference between “naked” and “nekkid”…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=achROqQBP9g

P3 is missing the skritch skritch sound effects

Actually, our dog wants her collar – honestly. When we take it off for a bath she will bring it to us afterward. She seems genuinely happy to have it back on. Never had another dog do anything like that before, but it’s seriously cute.

You might recall that Porky Pig never wore pants. (^.^)

The way Earl’s foot is positioned, I thought Roscoe was wearing a trucker’s hat.

Poor Roscoe

So tomorrow Earl can come to the breakfast table with just a bow tie?

My dog actually acts like she is embarrassed to be naked without her collar.

Looks like Roscoe is getting into the whole “naturalist” thing…

Wonder if they’ll ever find the collar…if Roscoe didn’t bury it deep enough they could run it over with the mower…..

Keep scratching Roscoe…..

When my cousins [8 girls] and I turned 7 our Gran gave each of us a Celtic Cross. Hot humid summers, summers with no air conditioning, in the shore bungalow led to Gran’s edict that as long as you were wearing your cross, you were fully dressed. But that was the early 50s I suppose these days it would be considered grooming.

Oops. I don’t have a collar either.

(Rushes off to hide newly noticed nakedness.)

Hilarious!

My mother called Sylvester`s collar his shirt.

Don’t look Ethyl! …er, Opal!

Roscoe’s already scratching again!

Roscoe is naked, Opal. With or without the collar. Unless you put a sweater on him.

My daughter always takes collar off dogs when bath time, give them a treat, then later collar goes back on.

Amusing.

Based on the last panel, it may have been a Flea Collar!

Try an early Christmas bow.

Naked? He’s got his “coat” on!
