Buckles by David Gilbert for August 14, 2022

The score is…..Buckles 1, vacuum 0.

That sucks

The " long panel " on the bottom is a " riot " and Buckles expression in the last panel is just precious : )

Why does this “new” vacuum look 60 years old?

Nature abhors a vacuum. So do dogs.

Uh oh, Buckles, you’re in big trouble now.

“Dyson! Eureka, I Bosched the Sharp Aggresor Titan Shark, and threw it in a Whirlpool! I also Maytag the Royal Dirt-Devil Kirby!”

“Buckles! You Orecked the Husky Hoover, you Brute!”

My housekeeper has managed to get an agreement with my dog. They have set times when they switch positions and she talks to my dog (who doesn’t understand what language is) to announce where she goes next. I have been here when she cleans, and it really does go smoothly. My first beagle used to bite the vacuum cleaner, but never broke it. I think it was either a game to her or she was trying to protect me. Beagle #2 just headed for another room in a hurry.

Our current feline residents just give it (and us) the evil eye and refuse to budge.
