Red and Rover by Brian Basset for September 17, 2023

Game postponed on account of Squirrel!

The first panel-That’s my dog’s stance when she’s challenging me.

It’s half-time…bring on the Milky Bones!

A dog’s priorities trump those of playing with his human.

Isn’t Rover running the wrong way? Not that it’s ever happened before, lol!

Would that be an unruly fan on the field?

Rover Rover … if you’re going to chase a squirrel, drop the ball.

Fall follies staring Red and Rover

The way Brian draws Rover in motion makes me almost believe he’s a real dog!

What do you mean, almost?

Love that squirrel!

Chasing squirrels is more fun than football- – anything is.

I have a bizarre dog. She ignores squirrels. Completely. It drives the squirrels insane. They will try to taunt her, tease her, chatter at her, and she doesn’t even move enough to take the slack out of the leash. I assume in her former life as a hunter she was trained not to chase squirrels. I thank them for it, as does my shoulder. There is nothing like suddenly having a mellowed out dog go into full on run after a squirrel when your shoulder is unsuspecting as to future events.

I’m with Rover. There need to be some way to make that game more fun. Sorta pointless the way it is now.

I’d love to hear an NFL quarterback use that snap count just for old time’s sake!

He could go all the way!!!
