Pooch Cafe by Paul Gilligan for July 16, 2014
Transcript:
Poncho: My master's rotten wife threw that frisbee really far just to get rid of me. But she better make with the hotdog when I bring it back. Poncho: Hey, there's a bunch of other dogs down there. Poncho: Any of you guys seen a frisbee? Dog 1: Maybe. What color is it? Poncho: Gray. Dog 1: Geez, same color as the water and the sand… That's gonna blend right in...

Guess Poncho will just have to sniff it out.It’ll be the one that smells vaguely of cats.

I’m making the bet now. This arc won’t end before December.

BJ385 – I was really buying into your scientific explanation until I noticed that you misspelled “color.” That undercut everything you wrote.

In Poochverse dogs are completely colorblind, and btw, dogs can talk. It’s a comic folks. Don’t take it so seriously and just go with the joke.

From wiki.answers.com:-Dogs are not color blind – they see color, but their chromatic acuity is significantly less than humans’. This is for two reasons: (1) dogs have far fewer cone cells in their retina (cone cells are responsible for seeing color); and (2) dogs are dichromatic (they see only two primary colors – blue and yellow) whereas humans are trichromatic, meaning we see three primary colors – red, blue, and yellow. -Humans have 7 times higher proportion of cone cells than dogs, meaning that when dogs do see colors, they are pale or faded. However dogs have a much higher concentration of rod cells, which are responsible for seeing black-and-white, and also much more sensitive in lower light conditions. For that reason, dogs have much better night vision than people.

Don’t you spell it Kullr, as apposed to colour?

Meanwhile, if you go back to the strip that shows Carmen throwing the frisbee, you can see that it isn’t grey. So, whatever colors Poncho can see, they don’t include the actual color of that frisbee…

I hope this isn’t going to be a “50 Shades Of Grey” type of thing…..
