Red and Rover by Brian Basset for July 26, 2022

Ice cubes in the kiddy pool would be nice!

That would hurt, wouldn’t it?

FEEL THE CHILL

Doesn’t that hurt ?

The boys really know how to chill out!

Make room for me, boys, it’s hotter than – um, er, well – it’s just HOT, okay?

In college my frat brothers would have said “ what a waste of perfectly good ice”. Ha

Apparently, those two must live in a very hot climate—like the northeast nowadays!!

BTW—for the deniers—climate change is VERY real!!

That looks like fun! Wish I could be there!

A rather bumpy ride! But it reminds me of the “slip-n-slide” (no ice, just water) that my kids had when they were little.

The Dr. on MASH advised patients stressed to ( “Ladies and gentlemen take my advise pull down you pants and slide on the ice” )

Red, quick, invent the slip and slide. You’ll make millions.

Brrrrrrrr❗️

How did he get such a large bag of ice? How did he pay for it? …then Ouch!

Might be cool but definitely would be rough on the stomach. Enjoy…..

This sun and heat was terrible!!

Another one from 2019. This nostalgic comic strip seems to be wallowing in its own recent nostalgia. Nonetheless, the strips are worth seeing again.

There goes the Lemonade money on that bag of ice. But Rover loved it. That is all that matters to Red.

What I do know from working in the woods (in mid Maine), for fact, is that in the 70’s my winter roads would last until mid April and by the 2000’s I’d be lucky to have them last until mid March ……. and now I see the roads being posted earlier & earlier !

One thing about 90’s to 100’s temps – You don’t have to shovel it, chop it, or scrape it. You don’t have to worry about slipping on it, or you’re vehicle spinning out!!

Ker-Cube?!!

His shorts or swim trunks don’t look right in the first panel.
