If it can be accidentally knocked down, it was not secured well to begin with.

Is the dog really guilty?

Falsely accused?

Busted or framed?

Guess who just crapped his diaper and is blaming the dog!

No, not our Mortimer!

If you’re going to do the crime you must have a fall guy.

It could have been Ida Know or Not Me.

Mortimer’s only “crime” was not stopping Teddy!

Oh yeah, blame the dog.

Ah, so there WAS a gate. And if you’re going to throw someone under the bus…

That dog looks too small to be Mortimer?

See if he saves you from the Sockness Monster next time!

Teddy looked perfectly calm and happy to see Dad in yesterday’s last panel. I daresay he sensed Dad’s emotion and realized, “I’m supposed to be scared. I’m supposed to cry.”

Betrayal!

Nah. Mortimer’s a guard dog.

poor Mort, protects the kids from the sock monster and the kids turn on him

Maybe someone is resentful of her baby brother.

NEVER blame the Dog, they do nothing, they see nothing, they admit to nothing

Not buying it, Tomi.
