Buckles by David Gilbert for May 14, 2024

Splish splash, I was taking a bath…..

Don’t rain on my parade.

Jill is raining on Buckles parade….

It’s all in the timing. If you stop rolling in the mud while it’s still raining, you can stand in the rain and it will wash away most of the mud.

Every day, when I make my way to the tubbie….

Hey look, you’re already wet, so carry on!

Buckles expression in the first panel is just precious and also his look when Jill uses the word " bath " : )

“It’s raining again/Oh no, our love’s at an end.”

The irony

Tell Jill to toss you a bar of soap and you will just shower out there.

Tell her to come out on the porch and give you a bath.
