Buckles by David Gilbert for January 04, 2023

Buckles, you’re starting to lisp…..

The Christmas Story.

Aww, poor Buckles…always getting himself in trouble. But you’re still adorable to me!

You sure got Irene licked Buckles, or she got you!

I don’t like Paul’s nasty looking face in the second panel. Buckles needs support, not anger. I also hope he doesn’t burn Buckle’s tongue and face with hot water.

Yeah, it really is Buckles’ fault that he got himself into this mess.

I remember going to work one morning at 5 am in the dark when my headlights spotted a dog that had tried to jump a wire fence surrounding a field of several acres. His hind leg near his paw was surrounded by wire so tight it couldn’t be budged and he was hanging upside down. A large pool of blood was on the ground below. I remember telling him. "Stay there. I’ll be right back, "as if he could actually go somewhere. I returned home, got my wire cutters, returned to the scene and cut him down.

“Get some hot water! Get some disinfectant! Get some iodine!” “Blehh.”
