The Fusco Brothers by J.C. Duffy for March 18, 2009

And the python is, well, a little clingy.

But he’s my buddy. My python is named Monty, after all.

Axel’s a wolverine! You can tell by his bedroom eyes.

Axel better be a wolverine!! I’ve invested heavily in the wolverine industry. I’ve bought a lot of stock in wolverines, and I’m counting on big returns.

Dog

Theresa - I’d recommend you sell fast, Wolverine futures are expected to take a dive today when the Dept. of Agriculture releases it’s Annual Wolverine Forage Update List (AWFUL)

Wolverine! There are enough dogs in the comics.

I’m trying to keep my emotions in check. My plummeting wolverine portfolio is tempting me to chuck my equities, but I’m trying to keep an eye on the future. And the future says: WOLVERINES!

Definitely a dog.

Maybe Axel is a python in dog’s clothing?

We want wolverine, we want wolverine!

I vote dog. I think the press release gives it away. If Axel has a tear coming from his eye in tomorrow’s strip, he has to be a dog. He always took great pride in believing he was a wolverine.
