Red and Rover by Brian Basset for July 20, 2015

When you don’t send more Kibbles, I don’t fly to Mars!!

I love the hole in the face mask for the can and string and who needs opposable thumbs when you can hang on with an ear.

Send more kibbles and Milky Bones.

Wait, what are the antennas for?

All the way to Pluto!!?

I remember us doing this with the cups and the strings. What I don’t remember was if it actually worked or did anything at all.

it worked…if memory is still intact?

Ralph Kramden: And doesn’t work at all with Styrofoam cups.

I keep trying to get my 11 yr old to sign up for the first Mars mission. If she starts now, she’ll be close to 30 and in her space flight “prime”.She’s too smart for me. She knows it a one way ticket and thinks I’m just trying to get rid of her.

Rover has his priorities…

Our local wired phone service is affectionally called “The Dixie Cup and String Phone Company”!

OK, maybe not so affectionally…

With kibbles, milky bones, and the dixie cup phones, it seems as though the mission to Mars is good to go without ever leaving the yard. Good job, astronauts Red & Rover!

LOVE & HUGS TO RED & ROVER

Be careful that nobody attaches a string downline, it could be NSA listening in!

“My Favorite Martian” tonight at 7:30pm PST on COZI TV cable

When we were growing up, my sister and I had “Remco” phones between our bedrooms. They were red…

If you took the earphones off of two rocket radios (a ubiquitous toy in Red’s era) and connected them together you could speak into one and a buddy would hear your voice in the other — worked over quite a distance. I didn’t believe it till I tried it for myself!
