Red and Rover by Brian Basset for February 20, 2023

Sounds like a bad case of the Swedish chef on THE MUPPET SHOW.

No, that would be bjørk, bjørk, bjørk!

“Borke” is German for the “bark” of a tree…..

I see from the copyright date that this is another reprint from 2017. I hadn’t started reading this strip then. I started reading Go Comics towards the end of 2015. I looked up Calvin and Hobbes on Google as their 30th anniversary was approaching and discovered the Calvin and Hobbes reprints on Go Comics and began reading other Go Comics strips. Red and Rover is now a strong candidate for my third favourite Go Comics strip.

Rover is bilingual! Who knew?

Ah Red should have the day of. It’s a Federal Holiday. Red will go crazy if he finds out he could have been home with Rover all day.

I am amazed that Rover is bilingual, lol!

Red will wake up soon and this will all be a dream. Yip yip yip yip yip

Red speaks fluent ‘Bark’….

I guess Rover learned a new language.

Forgot the umlauts

Borke? was that Gaeilge? oh that one is Burke i believe hmmm

Don’t you just hate that Red …. when Rover talks to you in a different language ……. then again Rover might want you to learn other languages ……. Woof, Woof …. :)

Rover learning a second language… totally woof it!!

While generally very quiet, my dog can make quite a variety of sounds. I never considered she might be using different languages. She actually howled in her sleep recently. I was trying to nap, and that was something to wake up to, since she never has howled on her own before that I know of.
