Pooch Cafe by Paul Gilligan for February 18, 2013

Gaah! a mailman!

They live….to deliver

What was the name of that movie about a man with a pair of glasses that allows him to see who is really a disguised alien? It’s famous for one of the longest and most violent fist fights in movie history.

That’s the point of the face in the last panel. Any movie with Rowdy Roddy Piper can’t be all bad.

“I’m hear to kick ass and chew gum… and I’m all out of gum.”

You’re out of uniform, mister.

They walk among us, The Walking Dead!

Hideous! Go Hide!

“They Live” is based on the short story “Eight O’Clock in the Morning” by Ray Nelson, in which at the end of a hypnosis stage show the hypnotist snaps his fingers to tell the audience to wake up, and for the first time ever one person actually wakes all the way up, and he sees that many other members of the audience are lizard-like aliens who have invaded the earth using mind control. It may or may not be an allegory for LSD.

strange but true….

In the 3rd panel it’s cute the way Boomer’s arm goes around Poncho’s enormous head.

My last dog loved 3 people that weren’t me or my mom (she wasn’t very good with guests): her vet (go figure), her groomer, and my grandfather (who was a retired letter carrier).-The best thing my grandfather said about my dog was, “C’est ce bon! Doesn’t this dog know I was a mailman? Ok, leave me alone now!” (as he’s scratching her behind her ears…).

Thanks to all who answered my question. Apologies to Coinguy for not getting his joke, but I wasn’t hit between the eyes by a 2×4.

Shame they couldn’t show the real last scene of the movie…
