Obviously the attire that the dog is wearing is a reference to the TV show “The Lone Ranger” and is supposed to represent the sidekick ‘Tonto’. Joe, you usually pick up on these references. Of course with the cowboys head lowered it’s hard to see his mask.
i disagree fictitious… old joe only ever sees the truly obvious… it gotta be the poke you in the eye stuff he gets… the subtle things leave him lost and confused…
Hah, I wanted to be an Indian when I grew up, never mind the cowboy stuff. I got an Indian costume for Christmas one year, complete with a feathered headress. Ah, good times.
On second thought – Judging from Maude’s facial expression, she’s just waiting for The Lone Ranger to catch her. – And he’s more than ready to pounce and strike – having lost his lariat…
When we drive by the schools in the winter, there is always some with shorts and t-shirts and sometimes a coat, no matter how deep the snow. Seems like it is always boys.

Never got the hat and boots as a youngster. Wear them all the time now!

Maude prefers a burglary anytime. – At least, they’ve got insurance for that.

Uh oh, Martha spotted the leftovers after they broke out the “Lone Ranger and Tonto” costumes. Keep calm, guys, Play out your roles!

Welcome, everybody!
At the moment, I’m the first one to arrive after the “old-timers” from 2010…
of course, that usually changes by the time I type my post….
That’s OK, there’s lots of room to post comments on
the Jan 26th 2020 “CLEO and COMPANY”
Cleo is all dressed up, in what could pass for an adowable widdle Vawentine’s Day outfit…. aw, Cleo…
you know you look so cute…. oooh….
on Sherpa

She didn’t say she hates the cute red rubber snow boots with painted-on pink toe pads, though.
I guess she forgot.
The problem with the hat is that the earflaps are shorter than hers. Gonna have cold earsies.
When I was, I think, in 1st grade cos we didn’t have snow where I went to kindergarten, my little brother had a hat like that…
I declared that he looked like a spaniel…. and made him wear it to play the dog in our early make-believe games…
I, being the oldest, was the self-declared mother and the father,…
and my sister was the children.
Now I know he couldn’t have been a basset hound.
(And that little brothers and sisters grow less obedient as they get bigger. Sigh….)
This is an older strip…. nowadays Cleo gets to dress up in everything from cowboy hats to slinky gowns in her movie roles.
She still probably has no fond memories of this costume, though.
Maybe it still gets pulled out when she gets a little big for her(virtual) britches.
I dreamed of costumes as a child… all I really wanted was an Indian one like Marg says she had.
I pictured it coming in a cardboard chest of drawers, like some doll clothes did back then….
with feathers and fringe and all the accoutrements of a totally un-PC, culturally insensitive movie Indian Princess.
What did we know.

I think she’ll be thoroughly disappointed.

The hat makes me think of Elmer Fudd. The sweater reminds me of some men’s underwear I’ve seen in movies but I would never wear.

Man, at first blush I thought he was picking Sparky’s nose! No dog I know would stay silent for that.

32-35F, little or no wind – I’ll wear shorts to and from rehab. 45+ shorts. These are when I’m not planning on staying outside for any length of time.

Was Cleo talking about the kid’s hat or Claude’s hat?

He’s deciding whether she is a rustler or a school marm.
