Red and Rover by Brian Basset for November 06, 2011

Aw, poor rover.

I trust the driver has bubble gum for everyone.

Is the bus driver blowing bubbles?

Go home and have Mom towel-dry you, Rover…your poor little feet and rear end must be sopping wet by now!

And wearing an outfit on loan from Olive Oyl.

Perhaps it’s Freida with her naturally curly hair.

I changed banks yesterday because my bank no longer has dog biscuits in the drive through.

This IS funny so many ways. Red grows up, wears a Tie-land suit to be a banker, rains money for Rover’s new house that soon gets underwater and won’t cover him when it’s time to get out of town.

Is that a dog in your pocket, or are you just happy to see the bus?

Sorry Rover he has to go now!

Very few artists draw such perfect rainy days as you Brian! :-)

I agree@Dry….really nice drawing and very realistic . Good job Brian…love this strip!

Rover doesn’t need to be dried off! When he meets Red’s bus after school, the two of them will hit every mud puddle between the bus stop and Red’s house. Get out the detergent!

P. S. Those aren’t curlers the bus driver is wearing. That’s the poor woman’s 1960’s-1970’s hairdo. Very chic in the day!

Little Orphan Annie grew up to drive a bus?

what great artwork!
