Yahooo! What a ride! –So much more satisfying than any hobby-horse (I recall that I had one when I was maybe five years old that I named Midnight because it was mostly black)! All who ride mere four-legged mounts must be insanely jealous!
Keep movin’, movin’, movin’,
Though they’re disapprovin’,
Keep them doggies movin’ Rawhide!
Don’t try to understand ‘em,
Just rope and throw and grab ‘em,
Soon we’ll be living high and wide.
Boy my heart’s calculatin’
My true love will be waitin’, be waiting at the end of my ride.
Move ‘em on, head ‘em up,
Head ‘em up, move ‘em out,
Move ‘em on, head ‘em out Rawhide!
Set ‘em out, ride ‘em in
Ride ‘em in, let ‘em out,
Cut ‘em out, ride ‘em in Rawhide.
Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’
Though the streams are swollen
Keep them dogies rollin’
Rawhide!
Rain and wind and weather
Hell-bent for leather
Wishin’ my gal was by my side.
All the things I’m missin’,
Good vittles, love, and kissin’,
Are waiting at the end of my ride
CHORUS
Move ‘em on, head ‘em up
Head ‘em up, move ‘em on
Move ‘em on, head ‘em up
Rawhide
Count ‘em out, ride ‘em in,
Ride ‘em in, count ‘em out,
Count ‘em out, ride ‘em in
Rawhide!
Keep movin’, movin’, movin’
Though they’re disapprovin’
Keep them dogies movin’
Rawhide!
Don’t try to understand ‘em
Just rope, throw, and brand ‘em
Soon we’ll be living high and wide.
My hearts calculatin’
My true love will be waitin’,
Be waitin’ at the end of my ride.
I never had a rocking horse when I was little, but my dad had two homemade saw horses that my brother and I had many hours of fun on, pretending we were cowboys…(^_^)
By the way, has everyone here seen Mark’s stunning performance in the cartoonist’s version of THE GODFATHER ? The video is available on the Frog Blog and also on Stephen Pastis’ blog at Pearls Before Swine.

Just look at that unbridled delight on Ishy’s face!

Just look at the other boy’s face. He’s thinking, “How come my folks won’t buy me a cool ride like that?”

Later we find out Lio is just raising those animals for food when he gets older.

Hi-yo Cephalopod, awaaaaaay!
Actually, when squid are startled, they squirt ink.
Methinks Mr. Tatulli could have some fun with that factoid in future strips.

It’s OK to be jealous, kid. You’ve been thoroughly out-awesomed.

The expression on the other kid’s face is just like those in the commercials which start with “Even kids know it’s not right …”
However, I’ve forgotten the product being promoted.

I somehow doubt that any invertebrate would enjoy that…

@Helyna: True, but Ishi is not just “any invertebrate”!

Can you imagine a squid rodeo? Nobody would ever win the hog-tying event.

MorganZ, Jeff Keane sure knows how to put The Family in The Family Circus.
