Red and Rover by Brian Basset for August 30, 2019

Red’s parents may resort to using a crane to lift out of bed and transport Red to school

So there’s method to Red’s madness!

Uh oh! A planned tantrum…..

All good things must come to an end.

I liked the first day of school. Everything was fresh, new, crisp. And no homework (usually) to worry about turning in. If I had a summer reading list, it was not a problem. Reading was one thing my mom had no trouble with me doing. Problem was getting me to STOP reading and do my chores! If it had words, I read it. LOL

Personally, glad to see school resuming. Sorry Red!

Unfortunately, they have no problem doing just that, Red!

The last few days of any vacation aren’t so much fun.

I’ll take daydreaming with ROVER anytime – love and hugs to our dear friends Red & Rover

This strip is definitely set in the 60’s or 70’s. We never started school until after Labor Day. Now, kids are starting back in the middle of summer…

Don’t like following all those dang school busses that now stop at every block.

Very clever – I feel for you kid!

I remember the feeling, Red!

My first day of school was always stressful getting back into the swing of things, meeting new teachers and classmates, and of course, my reputation of being a class clown didn’t help matters either. By today’s standards, I probably had ADHD as a child.

Love Rover’s expressive eyes!
