Red and Rover by Brian Basset for March 03, 2023

Ah, yes, that uncontrollable tell-tail sign.

Unusually, we have seen Red’s Mom in two separate strips this week. We haven’t seen Red’s Dad or Martin for a few weeks.

Guilty as charged, Rover!

Rover’s youthful exuberance busted him, lol!

Um… not his tail!

Red’s guilty smile confirms her suspicion.

Mom is SO aware lately!

Rover wags his tail all the time Mom!

Eat your dinner, Red!

Red’s Mom is looking very Holly Golightly today.

Moms always know!

Nipped

Rover’s wagging tail is a Red giveaway.

Moms are not supposed to reveal their secrets. Like using reflections off mirrors and TV screens and such. Sometimes just great hearing is enough to surprise kids that you know what is going on.

“Quarter Mile Smile” in panel 2 (Jimmy Carter reference)

Give up…. Mom’s know ALL.

Who is that sitting next to Red in the 1st panel ?

Is that Red’s older brother sitting next to him at the table?

Red …. you had better get Rover to the other side of you …. then she might not notice ……. well, just a thought …. :)

Classic! Whose kid hasn’t fed unwanted food to his or her dog. The question is if the dog will actually eat it.

Awwww

Isn’t that the truce, the tail always give it away. Yip yip yip yip yip
