What a nice day! I think I'll go outside and play with my dog! Oh wait. I forgot! I don't have a dog! Thunk! I guess I'll just stay inside and play with this sock puppet! Pretty sad, right? I was just thinking that.
I totally concur, Marty (though I still wish you’d soften your heart a bit about this)!! And the way only Marty’s eyes, nose & mouth are hidden behind the paper, with 75% of his head still “out there”, is a great balancing act that “put a fine point upon” his closing remark!! Smirk! SMIRK!!
you are missing a great teaching tool Have him do gratis work a dog pound where he has to clean up body functions. that should have him quit asking for a dog
Every year Nate tries to get a dog. This is the first time that I remember that Nate tries to get his dad to pity him enough to get a dog. From his father’s reaction, Nate may have more success this year.
Are heads supposed to make a “thunk” noise when someone slaps their head? Makes it sound like Nate’s head is empty. Well, I mean, after all, Nate doesn’t seem to have a brain, so I don’t really know.

You know, Lincoln should give Nate a dog. He’s been asking for one for years! It would be a good addition to the strip.

That sock puppet looks like it just recovered from rabies.

I do wish he could have a dog. Then again it would be alone in the house a lot.
