Red and Rover by Brian Basset for August 19, 2023

C’mon, Red! When the game gets tough, the tough get gamey!

Someday Red may become more of a realist.

But for now the imagination rules.

Optimism may be the only thing at times that keeps us going ;)

Love how Rover’s head is in Red’s lap. Great thoughts and memories!

Once they catch Moby Tadpole, what do they do with him?

oh you lost

Hope springs eternal! (And there are tadpoles swimming in that spring)

Love the way Rover lies in on Red’s lap with paws up. My dog used to do that when I was a boy…

Keep that Optimistic thinking Red …. Rover will help you ………… love the way Rover looks ……………….. especially the last panels ….. ;)

Better luck next year, Red. You and Rover have plenty to look forward to tomorrow. And next summer.

Tadpoles don’t stay tadpoles forever. The longest, if it’s a bullfrog tad, three years (sometimes less.) And once they start growing legs, they’ll be hopping away from you in a rush.
