Marmaduke by Brad Anderson for July 13, 2022

It does strike an ominous “cord”.

No need to worry Phil, what could possibly go “wrong??!!!”

:-O

The problem is that dogs can not read either, so he does not know that he can not use tools.

HELP!!!!

With that tool, I wouldn’t hedge my bets…

Better a hedge trimmer than a chain saw.

When Hand tools become Paw tools ;-)

But what will he use that one for? He can’t plug it in. Or can he? Oh, Marm…

Wants to trim the hedge down so he can get a better view of the cute dog that moved in on the other side.

Not knowing what he’s got planned would have me worried too, Phil!

I would be worried

The writers of those books have not encountered Marmaduke! They would be his tools if they did!!

It’s okay. He still needs the extension cord.

A dog I had, had his own broom because he loved to sweep.

You need to worry. Marm can make phone calls and send email, so trimmers would be no problem.

Usually, that opposable thumb thing is a problem, but it is cartoon land.

My Norwegian Elkhound Moose made a back-scratcher out of scraps of her rawhide bones. She piled them in her bed and buried them under her blanket. It took a long time to figure how she scratched herself raw between her shoulder blades.

Same.
