Red and Rover by Brian Basset for February 04, 2024

Wow!

Lucky that was not covering a stump or something

Wow! Looks like Red and Rover built their own winter amusement park . That brings back memories of snow forts etc. Totally love that.

I would have thought Red wanted to make a jump, however he didn’t pack the snow enough and went through, still, his smile says it all.

What fun! Let’s do it again!

Red’s snow pile looks just like the one our neighbor made for his young children, complete with a hole in the middle that they could crawl through. He sent them down the “hill” on an inflatable pool toy (some kind of animal shape) and they just loved it!

Such fun! And ingenuity!

Happy place!

WHAT FUN !!!

Pretty cool…and some gags are timeless, and simply never age, so Kudos to Mr. Basset. I recall, as a young lad in the 1960s, seeing a very similar comic on real paper in a real newspaper (the Vancouver Province, no less), LOL, so my cousin and I were inspired…We didn’t have a slide, so we used the roof of the shed and the massive piles of snow next to it. I think we had an obscense amount that year, even for northern BC, something like 4 meters, so the snowblower gave us roof height mountains. We didn’t do the instant tunnel thing that Red did, we opted for a jump instead. My dad wasn’t really happy with us having turned the shed’s asphalt roof into an ice sheet (when the ice finally melted his predictions came true and chunks of the roof came off with the avalanche; that spring, we got a lesson about patching a roof), nor that we forgot about the hose and let it freeze solid so it burst, but it was a truly amazing ride for a few weeks. In retrospect I reckon we are fortunate we didn’t kill ourselves, given that our backstop was the wall of the barn…but then, being children of the era, we were invincible, afterall…no seatbelts or bike helmets, and we drank from the garden hose :-)

Nice…..

See, we would have done that, but we would have made the snow pile into a jump — Evel Knievel style, baby.

Oh yes…… great fun !

Pretty nifty there, Red ……. and it’s Rover approved ……. :)

LOVE IT!!! Absolutely priceless! Thank you for the glimpse into the mind and heart of a classic little boy.

Working hard to have fun isn’t hard work.

Cool stunt!
