Red and Rover by Brian Basset for May 08, 2019

Face it Red, have you ever wondered why your seat is always empty?

This is the first time I’ve seen Red actually talking with another kid. And I’ve read this strip for years.

That snotty kid is just jealous because he doesn’t have a loving, caring Rover of his own!

Friendship between owners and dogs is a wonderful bond.

he bond between a child and his/her pet can go beyond ordinary. That’s why it’s so heart-breaking and soul-crushing when the pet has to cross the rainbow bridge.

Not just for kids either! All my pets were gotten in adulthood, and believe-you-me, it hurts to let them go!!! Lil buggers worm their way into your heart and soul and their presence never leaves, just their physical bodies.

Leave all the face smears you wants, RED…I don’t like leaving my boy each morning, either! Love and Hugs for Red and Rover

I know about “smears” – my doggie leaves her “nose art” on my car windows.

You have to be apart so you can have the joy of getting back together.

Uh oh…where is he?

It’s ok Red, just keep things to yourself. You’ll be home soon. And it’s almost Summer vacation! Yay!

Do Red’s parents ever worry that Red has no human friends?

Yes, that has bothered me as well. The kid has no human friends. Even Calvin has Suzie, though he treats her terribly.
