Pooch Cafe by Paul Gilligan for April 27, 2016

No surprise there. Hudson should have known by now…

This is going to be a looooong Chazz-less week.

Hahaha!

Aha.Panel Four made me curious…so in case anybody else wonders….(though…. sigh… it’s usually just me):

If Poncho uses porcelain fixtures as shown in the last panel, why would he ever need to go out in the rain, snow, etc.? A very complicated dog.

But referring to the man as ‘my master’ is fine for dog freedom.

Ah Hah ! Leave the paper untouched so Poncho may use it in the reading room first !

Why are these dogs even friends with Poncho?

My local paper!! (which too often is undelivered >:| )

Newspapers??? What are they? hmmm :))

Thanks SusanSunshine! That’s my hometown paper!

And Howdy to cjl-3! (Call them when that happens.)

I bet Poncho wipe his butt with it afterwards

Kingsport Tennessee? I thought Paul was in Toronto.

JPSteve, mabrndt….Don’t forget that, while we’re reading our comics online, the main focus of syndication is still on newspapers.Cartooning for the web pays little or nothing… most cartoonists’ only “salary” is a percentage of print sales. I’ve seen more than one artist slip in a shout-out for an event or memorable occasion at a newspaper that carries his/her strip…regardless of personal geography. These days, when the newspaper market is declining, they’re probably even more grateful for the support of the remaining papers.
