Pooch Cafe by Paul Gilligan for August 07, 2009

selfish selfish man, bad man, bad man

I wonder if Poncho went to see Benji come home? Maybe a Lassie marathon, maybe my dog Skp? Whatever, I hoped Poncho and Plankie enjoyed the movie. By the way were is the rest of the Pooch Cafe gang, I feel bad for Poncho going to movies with just Plankie.

Change places with your man, woman… if you have such a unselfesh heart!

I love stadium seating…

Poncho went a bit Willie Wonka on those poor people. Like the plank is fizzy lifting drinks or something.

that’s one of my favourite scenes! (I love how just a bit of spittle flies out of Gene Wilder’s, I mean, Willy Wonka’s mouth - oh look - just like Poncho!)

So move to a row in front of Poncho, moron (and GF)–or to seats beside those you now occupy!

(note that those seats I mentioned look quite empty)

One reason I don’t like going to movie theatres, it never fails that some tall man will sit down in front of me and I’m stuck holding my head in an uncomfortable position for two hours. Or some nit will move his head all over the place so I have to keep moving my head to see around his!

Was Plankie changed entrance? He IS sharing Poncho Perry’s seat after all. PP could at least buy Plankie some snacks and perhaps share with the guy behind them. I think Plankie could get a discount of some sort - a splinter fee or something.

How good and fitting for a wee pup to take his plank to the cinema. A day out for doggie and his sweet board. There to sit in darkness and together travel on wisps of dreams and adventure.

Mrs. Tubbsbottl suggests that a soft gentle rub of Murphy’s oil for Plankie and a coke and popcorn would but complete Poncho’s bliss.

I cannot more agree….. sail on, sail on!

Fenyugreek, wouldn’t “Miniwax” (correct name is actually “Minwax”, I simply pilfered it from an old commercial) be much better for Plankie than Murphy’s Oil?

prasrinivara,

Too right, Minwax is indeed the ticket! In the annals of Plankian glory will your wisdom be celebrated. (Tried it myself.) - a bit salty though-

There are some really weird comments on these boards - I think they are more interested in amusing eachother(or themselves) than leaving actual comments for the cartoonists! Or yelling at the characters like idiots in movie theatres (“Don’t open that door!”) that don’t get that it’s not real. Anyway…I laughed out loud at this, truly. Inspiring how much humor you get out of a really simple gag!
