Red and Rover by Brian Basset for January 30, 2012

Nothing like self-give-away, Red!

What about Rover…does his throat hurt, and is his head really warm, too? Bed rest and chicken soup for you both, boys!

I hated missing school….trying to catch up was too stressful!

Why are you looking at me that way, Rover?

I think it’s legit. Soup & bed for Red!

I remember when I was really sick, I was out of school for a week. GOD the catching up was a living heck.

Healthy enough to get out of bed though. Off to school!

Every now and then my mom would let me take a mental health day from school. Those were good days. I think we all need them from time to time. :)

I’m sure Red isn’t feeling well, I mean he didn’t even open the door to go whine about how he isn’t feeling well

That’ll fool ’em.

I’m with cmclaughlin … you’re up, you can go to school!

It’s hard to say “no” to a cute redhead!

This comic is generally too saccharine for me, but i will give the book to someone with less discriminating tastes.

Rover is loyal, no matter what!

just love this strip wish there was more books

lol they’ll defiently notice somethings wrong if they smell garbage or kibble on him.

At least Red is trying to tell the truth.

In a world full of stress and chaos, watching the devotion between Red and Rover is heartwarming.

Red must have had too much saccharin yesterday.

…a friend, indeed.

thesly: I was out the week the class took up factoring. Returning, I asked the teacher to explain what was going on. She said, “Don’t worry, you will pick it up.” I am not sure I ever did, but if I did, it would have taken about one minute, but that was too much trouble for her.

Why did Red mention that Rover wasn’t breathing on him? Did Red have Rover breath on him in the past and then try to get off from school?

who hasn’t tried this! :) :)

A sore throat and fever would be the least of your worries if our dog breathed on you. Thankfully, he’s a small dog, so whenever we want to remove paint or wallpaper, it’s easy enough to hold him up and let him breathe on the walls …

I love Red and Rover. reminds me of being a kid!

Sounds like he covered the bases before Mom gets out the thermometer.

Red would have been more believable if he had hollered from his bed.

Nothing like doggie breath………

If you have a dog like Rover (we do) then you know what its like! Love and loyalty unbounded.

Our own Franklin has that warm and fuzzy furnace thing going too, Rover!

I adore red and rover. Red shoud have had rover lick his palms to make they clammy like Ferris Beuller

I guess he tried that before.

I think Red should stay homeHe’s a good kid and should deserve the day off

i know exactly how he feels.

Drink lots of fluids and cuddle with Rover, you’ll feel better in no time.

Red, you forgot the “cough”….

You are supposed to stay in bed and act sick, Red… if your up walking around you can get to school :P

LOL! Man, I wish I’d thought of that back in the day!!

PS-“maybeinthenextworld” Put a sock on it. No one forced you to comment – your words clearly identify you as a moron.

dont give the book to “maybe in the next world” he clearly doesn’t want it

I’m not one of those commenting just to try to win a book, oh no, but only because i have something important to say. Which i just did, so thank you for reading.

Rover probably didn’t breathe on him this morning cuz he knows Red’s sick!

Red and Rover isn’t that funny but its still a fav of mine

My dogs do the same thing!

Ah man, I have to comment, but I don’t have anything interesting to say…:(

I like the way the two interact. They seem to be able to communicate somehow.

ahhh Poor Red…

sounds like he tried that once before
