    At least give him some cheese to go with it.

    Fred, you have got to be the first dog to look disappointed at a treat.

    I think cookies are called bisquits in the U.K.

    Not to worry – it’s just the appetizer.

    It bothered me when the original strip was running and they would flip the picture to make the steering wheel on the left. Now they are tampering with the text (but at least leave the wheel on the right).

    I think a cracker is one of those cylindrical things one pulls apart at parties.

    Nothing is called a ‘bisquit’ in the UK!

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biscuit

    A biscuit is the generic term; thick slightly soft sweet biscuits with choc chips etc might be termed ‘cookies’ nowadays; the square savory biscuits as in the picture are ‘cream crackers’ - crackers are for eating with cheese hence my initial comment.

    No text tampering, hippogriff.

    The use of the term ‘biscuit’ for a scone-like entity is a purely American piece of terminology at odds with the rest of the world and logical etymology ;-)
