Red and Rover by Brian Basset for October 15, 2024

And Sacajawea took her newborn along, too.

I see that this week’s strips are from this year after last week’s reprints from 2021. I hope that we get another good Halloween story arc this year.

Like to know more about Meriwether’s dog.

Probably more than six thousand!

Rover is not helping with Red’s studying for the test.

Red is too easily distracted. Potty breaks will not be on the test.

I get the feeling Rover is hinting (very subtly) for his own potty break ;)

Could this be classified as a priority?

…..after that who’s counting???

Here in Kansas City we have a statue of the expedition that includes the dog. On the day it was dedicated we had a speech by Stephen Ambrose and the local Newfoundland society brought a bunch of dogs.

Rover would regard Seaman as truly awesome if he knew that he caught squirrels and brought them back to Lewis, who noted that “they wer [sic] fat and I thought them when fryed [sic] a pleasant food”.

At least they had a trail to followe back home.

and Meriwether Lewis was later murdered when he was on his way to report something tp Thomas Jefferson

Talk about takin’ yer dog fer a walk … !! ;)

That’s a lot of potty breaks.

Multiply by number twos …
