Pooch Cafe by Paul Gilligan for July 22, 2023

The crooks are saying what we have all been thinking (and some of us have been saying). Not to mention the money bags with the big dollar sign on it!

Yep

Poncho, don’t count on getting away with it again!

Because of “Christmas Story”.

Because you’re both twits….can’t think out of the box…

Union rules.

They’re not bad, they’re just drawn that way…

And stripes make them look heavier. So out of fashion.

Poncho and his friend did a good job. YAY!!!

“Why do we wear them? TRADITION! Without our traditions, our lives would be as skaky as…as a burglar on the roof!”

Because you’re cartoon crooks, and there are rules about that.

Watch too many episodes of the old Batman show?

And the caps… don’t forget the burglars’ caps…

You can be extras in Christmas Story with those outfits.

They look like they’re about to commit a mime.

Tradition!

So that readers recognize you instantly as crooks without the author having to find an even more contrived way of explaining it.
