Drabble by Kevin Fagan for February 25, 2022

That’s the first time I’ve seen a dog door on the house… too bad for Echo.

Man’s best friend!

Get Wally and the Badger to like each other

Will we ever see Echo again? Will she relent in some fashion, perhaps get rid of her badger?

I really liked Echo, I hope this isn’t the end for her. And it’s not a way to get Wendy back in the storylines, she’s always been awful to Norm!

I wouldn’t trust a badger as a pet – they are inherently dangerous – I assume Echo has very good medical insurance. Of course, dachshunds were originally bred to chase and kill badgers in their dens (because of their predations on poultry.)

When Wally says “something” he actually means “everything”.

Wally just stepped over to the LuAnn strip for a bit to visit with Puddles while he’s on walkabout.

To everyone that jumped on Norman’s case yesterday, he accepts your apologies.

Interesting flag today…

Echo is cool, down worry about this relationship.

If this is where Echo leaves the story, I may stop reading the strip.

I love Wally. He makes me smile. I think may love him even more than Snoopy!

While I don’t actually remember saying the phrase “The cat goes or I go” to my fiancé at the time, she sensed my discomfort with her cat, and decided to leave her cat with her brother and sister. We now have a cat that I must say I kind of like, sort of. I think about how close my wife is to our cat now, and realize what she gave up to be with me.

oh good, he didn’t lose Wally. :D

Wise choice, Norman.

Damn good choice.

Good boy!!!!

Echo or Norma is Norman’s first girlfriend. She is the one he will measure all future girlfriends with. If he ever gets another girlfriend.

As long as Wally and the badger stay home, I don’t see the problem.

No way that going to happen, even in a comic!

I think Echo will apologize or contact Norm to rescind her ultimatum. She will realize she was wrong.

And I though Wally was off sulking someplace.

Maybe Norman is smarter than I thought.

I knew he would choose Wally!

Sad. But ultimatums are always bad for a relationship.

Now we just need to find Puddles.

The kind of woman that would keep a Badger, which is a vicious animal, for a pet is not the woman Norm’s needs. He chose correctly.

No one should have to choose between people and pets. Sic ’em (her), Wally.

Whew!!!!

!! YAY !! (and Phew)
