Transcript:
Dog: ....and applying torque to the handle in a clockwise direction works a turning gear....slide. Dog: ....which seems to spin this serrated cutting wheel, here. As near as we can figure, this wheel applies pressure...slide. Dog: ....to the can edge here, somehow magically piercing the surface of the lid, releasing the contents within. Dog: But how...how? The answer has evaded our top canine brains for ages. It's a mystery we may never solve. Dog: Yes? Poncho: If we can figure out how an overhead projector works, shouldn't we be able to figure out how a can opener works? Dog: All right, sit down. Sit down.

Don’t even get them started on pop-tops.

OK, two things. First, that isn’t a serrated cutting wheel, it’s a smooth cutting wheel. And that isn’t an overhead projector, it’s a slide projector. You’d think dogs that can build a working (?) catapult would be more technologically literate!

Come on folks, dont get so technical. This was funny regardless of the bloopers.

The cat food I use now has pop-tops. I thought dog food also was changing? Tho I don’t think that would be any easier.

Hey Destiny23, these are comic strips. You might want to treat them as such instead of complaining about cargo trucks not going by train, etc. If you’re trying to be tongue-in-cheek, it’s not really working.

I was wondering the same thing :)

Who needs to be able to operate a can opener when you have your humans trained to do it for you. And, if you need a between meal snack, humans have provided you with garbage cans.

Oh that’s it Poncho. Bring logic into this…. Really funny, Paul!

If one could go back to ancient Egypt with a can of tuna and a can opener, I believe cats would come running at the sound.

Very very clever, unorthodox humor – reminds me of the best of “The Far Side”
