Buckles by David Gilbert for July 19, 2023

All the dogs down the street live in air conditioned houses…..

I am with you Buckles!

Buckles you’re so cute when you have a tantrum! But I’m with you! If I didn’t have AC I would be irritating too!

That’s kind of the inverse of what happens with Calvin when it gets too cold in the house, yet his parents are too cheap to turn on the thermostat, preferring to use the fire place.

Lord Almighty, I feel my temperature rising….

I think many of us get irritating when we are irritated. I know I often do.

Buckles …… if you didn’t get so excited ….. you wouldn’t get so hot …. relax …. :)

Here Buckles is depicting a “child like role” in the strip. At times, when no child is present on a given strip or film, etc a pet can play sometimes a child role. And here we see in him in third panel acting up like a child or ask any parent who had a kid begging for something that they can’t have or its too expensive.

A good sign of how old this rerun is.

Maybe but let’s have some fun in the inflatable pool I bought for you for now.

I’ve only used my AC maybe 2 days this year…it’s been fairly cool here but I think this week it is supposed to get into the 90s.
