Drabble by Kevin Fagan for March 04, 2023

Was watching a bunch of grackles once drinking out of filthy puddles, and decided one of them might appreciate a litte fresh fruit. Peeled out a wedge of clementine and decided that if I pitched it straight to him, he might interpret that as me throwing things at him and fly away, so I threw it short, figuring once it stopped rolling he’d check it out.

Dude caught it on the bounce.

Then went marching across the parking lot, holding it high in front of him as if to say “look what I’ve got and the rest of you losers don’t have!”

Yesterday, a woman brought her dog into a CVS in my neighborhood, cuz it was begging for a treat.

Looks like that Roomba is becoming a main character in the strip.

Roomba vs. Wally…looks like an interesting feud!

Awwwwwww!!! Wally’s so cute

Ralph, I’m sure you could do the same thing if there was a doughnut involved. Like father like son.

Startled but still focused.

My Buddy would have got it on the way up. With a couple of my fingers.

Nice vertical.

Wally can suck in crumbs just like the Roomba.

This would have been great for Letterman’s ‘Stupid Pet Tricks’ back in the day.

Everyone equal = an entire society of the lowest common denominator.
