Red and Rover by Brian Basset for August 01, 2022

Like Goulash.

So you stick your face UNDER the water. Yeach…..

Are the Mintz girls’ parents too cheap to buy THEM a pool??

“Thanks Rover. You’re not helping.”

You go mom, working the “Laura Petrie” look today. Loved that show, ha. BTW, time to dump the water on the yard and garden. Start over with fresh water, come on!

All I can say today is, gross!

There was a boy who lived in the building next door to us. When he was about 12 he built a homemade “people wash” water sprinkler system for kids to run through & invited my girls over to use it whenever they wanted to. He was like a big brother to the girls; one day, when my husband was in the hospital, he cheered the girls up by doing bicycle stunts: running headlong into a huge pile of leaves at the end of our driveway, flying over the handlebars & landing in the leaves. He worked at a local science museum & got us free passes to a dino exhibit (our younger girl was all into dinosaurs at the time). He graduated & moved away, and we all still miss him horribly.

Starting week #3 in rerun mode as Brian Bassett recovers from surgery…

Red, use Rover & your comments from the last 2 panels on the twins, that should keep them away!

This pool is one big petri dish!

When do we get new ones?

Everybody OUTTA DA POOL!

AGAIN……

Calvin has a brother ? Rover is a mess, too.

Let’s not forget the cooties.

It’s fitting that the boy’s name is Red. He displays a perfect The Court of the Crimson King LP cover pose in the second panel!

Red can be selfish.

Yuck! No likes today!
