Yeah Roscoe puppy dog eyes are hard to resist.

Taught my grandkids the sad puppy dawg eyes and the pouty lower lip. Worked pretty good for awhile till one day her dad wouldn’t give in and asked, “Who’s been teaching you that?” Without hesitation my dear sweet little granddaughter pointed right straight to me! Busted!! Tru story!

The important thing is to use whatever works for you.

Old Roscoe knows the routine!

I wouldn’t trust Roscoe for nothing! He switches sides depending how the wind blows

mere mortals are powerless against

Sad puppy-dog eyes don’t work quite so well if you’re not a puppy-dog.

Roscoe has the right idea!

Take notes from the master, Nelson!

My daughters learned I don’t give in. On the other hand I’d try and listen to them before making a decision tried to explain my reasoning. My wife would say whatever popped into her head as an answer, but they could change her mind (sometimes) if they tried asking over and over. Which they did with her (always).

Hummm … Strategy ;-)

Wearing em down…yeah, that’s the ticket!

Roscoe got the right idea Nelson,try it

Works on my dog!

Roscoe makes a valid point.

except for the eyes, it seems to work in politics as well

Roscoe ain’t no fool!

Puppy dog eyes or not, no means no, and never worked on me.

I remember saying, “If two beagles can’t make that look work, it’s not going to work coming from you, either.”

Goofy Roscoe smile in second panel.

Indeed they do … every time for me and my family.

Roscoe should not give away doggie secrets.

Or you could learn to say “ please. “

Roscoe’s got it down pat ….. doesn’t need any help ….. but the thought is appreciated … :)

They are both VERY sneaky……..

You can still develop puppy-dog-eye strain. :)

The kid has to learn.

Real life puppy dog eyes are brown liquid, not tint black dots.

Nelson. take advice from the expert. In my house, repeated whining for a treat gets you a smack on the bottom and a trip outdoors.

All in favor? The eye’s have it…

I don’t remember Roscoes thought-bubble-talking before

Too bad you’re the wrong species, Nelson.

tough, Roscoe
