Red and Rover by Brian Basset for September 02, 2022

I like Rover’s open eye in the second panel!

I was always happy to go back.

Are Red and Calvin related??

They sure do think alike!!

Well, we know that won’t be the case! Red is a very responsible little one! And Rover won’t allow it, anyway!

The boys look so happy! Enjoy summer’s last hurrah!

Sounds like a plan….

I’ve said it before—Brian is a master at giving Rover expressions! Just look at Rover’s eyes in the second and last panels! Great job, Brian!

or your parents will make you get on. but what’s the point. skip later, go to Micky d’s cause you’re behind from covid and have no future anyway. oh, sorry . i had more but the voices inside my head made me stop. Maybe I’ll just write comics OH!

I hated school too Red. Now i"m home every day with my beautiul Lab.

All summer long and he never did anything with another kid? Rover is great but, seriously? Go visit the 2 kids in the comic strip who are living with their granny. They never have any friends, either.

When I was a kid, summer vacation seemed to drag on forever. Nowadays, blink and you miss summer.

Red, it won’t be so bad. When you get off the school bus Rover will be waiting for you.

Red might be expressing teacher sentiments, too.
