Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for August 10, 2022

Well is it working. Or are you still heartless not giving him a small bite.

It’s all about operant conditioning. Of YOU.

From TV preachers?

Begging at the table could earn him a time out.

From you on “date night”.

Amen to that!

Must be watching you beg before your wife lets you in the bed.

That’s a level above begging. Fido is beseeching them, imploring them, humbly supplicating them.

He’s been watching the sentencing if the insurrectionists.

LOL! Hysterical!

Just wait until he gets his tin cup and dark glasses.

That carpet! Those drapes! Aieee!!

From Lassie?

Yeah, he has an unusual bend in his front legs.

This is most embarrassing!

Just copying you….

He wouldn’t like it if he begged like he’s taking a dump.

One of my favorite Larson comic is a dog holding a pistol telling the people he is through begging.

Poncho from Pooch Cafe. Actually, no, he mooches.

Before you know it when he speaks he’ll actually be speaking English.

From your spouse?

OK maybe a French fry but get away from the pedestal

I miss not having a dog. I now have to clean up food that winds up on the floor.

His previous humans were thespians.

From Snoopy! There was an old strip where he approaches Charlie Brown, begs in the same almost-human fashion, and CB gives him a treat. “I just can’t turn down a begging dog.”
