Red and Rover by Brian Basset for March 26, 2023

Why do sheep stall like that?!

Noise till your ears “bleat” – makes BAAAAdtime – a mission impossible!

The sheep tried to say something new, something different, tried to vocalize more depth, a deeper meaning, but it only became…“meh”

So many sheep are too loud!!

It might work for Red. But it was a baaaaad idea for Rover.

Baaaaa, phooey!

QUIET! Rover is trying to sleep.

Paw on shoulder in last frame. So endearing, love it.

I’m reminded of the lovely lullaby that Ann-Margaret sang to Pebbles Flintstone; I memorized it & eventually sang it to my daughters when they were babies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQyYJ—ce6s

Try counting mute sheep

I tried that, but it didn’t work! Sheep are just too demanding ;)

AWWW…tough night sleeping for Rover

I have the same problem when I try to fall asleep counting sheep. Yip yip yip yip yip

The sheep were loud enough to make Rover’s ears bleat.

I imagine sheep jump over fences for the same reason that chickens cross roads.

there seems to be a running theme of sleeping, or trying to sleep, in my choice of comics this past week

I have never seen a dog have trouble sleeping, but Rover isn’t just an everyday dog. This is very cute!

LOL.. in the real world Rover would be CHASING the sheep !

Rover ….. your suppose to count them, one at a time ….. “NOT” herd them together …… Next idea, Red ……. :)

A shepherd told me that counting sheep would not help her sleep at all. She’d be too worried about missing some.
