Joe, go watch the movie again. Old Yeller was shot because he DID have rabies. They isolated him until he showed symptoms of “the hydrophobie”. Travis (Tommy Kirk) shot the dog as he started to attack Arliss (Kevin Corcoran).
Devonshade…I am at a loss to even understand why you follow this strip. All you ever do is complain. Perhaps you would do better with a more intellectual strip that suits you, like Nancy, Ziggy of Family Circle.
Generally, gals sympathize, guys want to fix. Some just want to spout, some want sympathy, and some get a lot of good from the group therapy, like CB radio in the old days.
I consider gocomis not a thearpy group, but suppose to be a funny group. There is another strip on Gocomics that’s almost realistic to me and it’s suppose to be funny.
Mean time I wish every a safe Memorial Day weekend as we remember what the day really means to the ones who lost their lives for our freedom.
JanCinVV explicitly mentioned the movie “Old Yeller” (not the book), and the dog certainly did show signs of being infected with rabies in the movie.
The person who initially brought up the subject of rabies did not specify whether it was in the movie or the book. To qualify your original statement afterward does not make JanCinVV wrong in what he said.

I’m sure Gweedo is correct, in the sense that someone who was old and yelled was shot. It has probably happened countless times, in fact.

You are correct JanCinVV!
Old Yeller was foaming at the mouth and snarling when he was shot. (Minor detail?)

Clyde Bailey is wearing a safari outfit, and he has to explain the animals are his. Only in a comic strip.

Is this the end of a story arc or the beginning with a new recurring character? Stay tuned.

Wasn’t his name actually “Yeller”, the “old” being an adjective?
axe-grinder over 14 years ago
I still agree with Gweedo.
jpozenel over 14 years ago
JanCinVV is still correct!
JanCinVV explicitly mentioned the movie “Old Yeller” (not the book), and the dog certainly did show signs of being infected with rabies in the movie.
The person who initially brought up the subject of rabies did not specify whether it was in the movie or the book. To qualify your original statement afterward does not make JanCinVV wrong in what he said.

And JanCinVV was correct in what he said.

And, technically, so was Gweedo.
