Buckles by David Gilbert for April 10, 2023

Take two aspirin and call me in the morning…..

Buckles! All your fans out here are watching you. No faking allowed.

Careful Buckles, That could possibly lead to a vet visit.

Always a loophole to exploit!

I remember a week long run strip about 10 years ago, Buckles ate out of the trash and got sick. Jill says says to Paul, I think Buckles is sick. Paul replies, he’s faked being sick before, I need more proof. Just then Buckles pukes all over the floor, Paul says you call the vet, I’ll get the car. (Buckles got food poisoning. The next day he was eating in the trash again)

Buckles evil grin in the last panel is priceless.

Yeah, Buckles is definitely on the same level of loophole exploitation as that of Calvin.

Now Buckles …. what would you think if at feeding time …. no one felt like feeding you and they faked not feeling well as an excuse …….. what would you think …….. in other words Buckles ….. “GO GET THE DARN PAPER” ….. now that wasn’t so hard was it …… :)

I’ve got ‘eye problems’ … I just can’t see getting the paper today.

“Fake? No, I’m going to get sick for real, on purpose!”

My late springer spaniel, Samantha, used to retrieve the late International Herald Tribune that was delivered in a plastic bag and she’d jump on her small couch still holding it. I’d have to ask to take it and she would then let go. She wouldn’t bother with my local paper because it was too thick. : )
