Red and Rover by Brian Basset for August 13, 2024

Rover is being so well behaved! Plus he’s so happy .

I think I’m really going to enjoy this series

Mom looks like actress Lorraine Bracco (as Karen Hill in the movie Goodfellas)

Maybe Rover will make a new friend, too.

Haunches—in this instance, truly a young guy’s preferred choice of terms! So cute.

Well, there’s Ruby at the door. It must be a play date, to say the obvious!

Earlier some commenters expressed concern that Red had no friends but Rover (though it doesn’t bother me), so Ruby is a nice addition to the strip!

Red’s got a girlfriend, Red’s got a girlfriend …

I love the little waves that Red and Ruby are giving each other in the first frame.

Red and Ruby….. ruby red! Now I get it!

Always a correction!!!!

Nice moms! I have faith in Rover—he can read a situation and knows when to have on his Sunday best!!

Is that redheaded girl Red’s crush, Ruby?

Forgive me ….

Rover is such a little gentleman!

While I am usually loathe to inject such commentary into a comic strip where it doesn’t belong, but I can’t help but note that it amuses me, that Ruby goes to school with Red, yet lives far enough away that he has to be driven. Meanwhile the twins don’t go to school with Red (they mention their camp friend Ruby goes to “your [Red’s] school”), yet they are close enough to walk to Red’s house, lol. I guess the easy answer is that the twins go to private school maybe, lol

Is Red’s Mom’s hair getting bee-highvier?

Awwww. Red thinks like a dog.

Good point on haunches vs. hips, Red!

The car parked in the street reminds me of the 1960 Chrysler Imperial.
