For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for June 04, 2022

I hope Mom or Dad gave them money or a credit card to use.

Are we sure this one dog with the bows on its head and near the tail is the Pattersons’ dog Farley?

Farley did not only shrink, he got shorter too!

Is that our Farley? He looks good!

And a “whole new identity!”

not my dog!

Now you’ve got the job Mike, the $64 question is…CAN YOU KEEP IT?

Of course Farley looks different. He just had ‘hair cut’, massage, nails trimmed, and a flea treatment. Just imagine what cousin Itt from the Addams family would look like if they did at that on him.

Betcha Farley is half his original weight now.

Look, what THEY have done to ‘FARLEY’ ! ? ! ? !?

Farley? …or is it Farli, now?

Get those bows off his butt!

$45??? How ancient is this toon?

I have a massive King Shepherd (Her picture is my avatar, think Alaskan Malamute hair on a German Shepherd). Bathing and de-shedding her takes the groomer 5 hours. The fee is $175

Lynn’s Comments:

The “punch” here was that the dog, with his bows and fancy trim, was the one with a new identity. I wonder if anyone “got the gag!”

That pretty new haircut and clean dog will last about 10 seconds once they get him home and he rolls in the dirt…

Poor Farley! But he looks happy!

I hate the winter haircut, I always freeze after

But where’s Farley???

AAAWWWW! Farley looks so CUUUTE!

He looks like a future dog we know, and his name starts with an E.

For heaven’s sake, lose the bows!

So, the bows are supposed to accentuate and draw attention to the feature they are framing.

What exactly are the two bows on poor Farley’s hind quarters accentuating?

Uh, I think you gave us the wrong dog

Well la dee da

Its well over a hundred fifty to groom a dog now

Poor Farley.

Happy Pentecost! Jesus isn’t dead. He’s just given up the ghost.
