Pooch Cafe by Paul Gilligan for March 05, 2020

No comment about Shakespaw, but I have been to Stratford-upon-Avon back in 2012 (just a weeklong holiday in England with my older brother). Souvenirs to SuA were Shakespeare keychain a pocket book of his sonnets.

“Is this a bone I see before me?!?”

“Get thee to a dog park”

“A bone! A bone! My kingdom for a bone!”

“What scent from yonder kitchen breaks!?”

“Bonio, Bonio…. Wherefore art thou, Bonio.

Thou hast seen a farmer’s dog bark at a beggar? And the creature run from the cur. There thou mightst behold the great image of authority—a dog’s obeyed in office.

King Lear

Thou callest me a dog before thou hast cause. But since I am a dog, beware my fangs.

William Shakespeare,The Merchant of Venice

I hope we get one about Charles Dogwin. You know, the one who sailed on the Beagle…..

Snoopy von Richthofen would be cool, too.

To pee or not to pee …. That ,that is the prostate !

To dig, or not to dig? Who needs that garden?

“What spot on yonder carpet make?”

Ha. Shakespaw! My dog must have been related. When he has his Midsummer Nights Dream he shakes his paw all over.

“Bark, Bark! the dog at mailman sings”

Cymbeline

When do we talk about Edgar Allen Paw?

“MacBath Tragedy”. Awesome!

Sorry, Mr. Gilligan, but your regular strips are SO vastly superior to these lame pun-stuffed irritants… It saddens me to see you going this route.

His Shakespearean ruff has a cut in it so it isn’t a cone of shame.

I love the comments for these dog-pun comics!

This one is funny and clever. I love all the Shakespawean comments. You all have outdone yourselves.

Napoleon Bone-apart?

And then, sensing that her dog needs to go outside to do his business, the Lady McBeth yells: “Out, d****** Spot!”

It’s bad enough I read the comic, but then I read the comments! Hoo boy…

The only line we didn’t like in that play.
