Pooch Cafe by Paul Gilligan for July 14, 2010

C’mon, Porcho. Get with the program. You should know what yo want for a name by now!

Keep trying Porcho, Eventually you’ll find a good name for yourself.

Wow, Ponch is being upstaged.

“Nocturna.” Feminine. Still inconclusive, but a weight on the other side of the balance…

“Perry.” OK, I think we knew that already…

But isn’t “peregrin” Latin for “traveller”?

Nocturna is a villainess in the Batman series of comics. She first appeared in Detective Comics #529 (August 1983).

So that’s why Poncho’s middle name is “Perry”.

Main Entry: per·e·grine Pronunciation: \ˈper-ə-grən, -ˌgrēn\ Function: adjective Etymology: Middle French peregrin, from Medieval Latin peregrinus, from Latin, foreign — more at pilgrim Date: 1599 : having a tendency to wander

Actually, the spelling is peregrine meaning to wander, to travel, migratory. Anyway, it’s a cool name.

Okay, so Gotho should be Gotha after all. Nocturna - nice name.

So Poncho likes bad Girls…

I wouldn’t call Poncho a conformist.

Latin: peregrinus : wanderer, foreigner, stranger / pilgrim, crusader

So now I think that Nocturna is a drag queen dog!

Nocturna’s a nonconformist … you can tell by the uniform.

I thought it was a bird, but then I was in the slow class.

Poncho Perry Pooch Palmer. Ah…it’s all coming together!

Hey Nocturna, mind your own falcon business!

Amazing knowledge for their age.

Looks like Nocturna is giving Porcho the finger in that last panel.

BTW: observing Italian pronunciation, isn’t “Porcho” pronounced “PORK-O”!!!

[lol]
