   Whoo, that dog looks creepy!
   I wonder if he’s gonna be a regular on this strip.

   He WAS a regular until she handed him into the vet…apparently about 6 months ago. I can’t remember what happened, I think he got hit by something.

   @Pacopuddy

   That is a dog in the same sense that Agnes is a little girl
   

   
   Neither one looks much like any dog or little girl that I’ve ever seen before, but that’s what they’re supposed to be

   @Debra Palmer

   Yep. (for @Pacopuddy, Lester is supposed to be 32 human years — about 224 in dog-years).

   Lester first appeared in December 2003 (pretty sure of the year). He talks, and first mouthed off to Trout. Agnes then took him to school, where he sat at a desk and mouthed off to the teacher. Since he has no ears, Agnes put Mickey Mouse ears on him. When Agnes gave him a Pop-Tart to eat, he made some comment about it being like cardboard or something… Lester’s been an “irregular” (irregularly appearing) character ever since.

   WOW: I vaguely remember that, especially about the Mickey ears… I Am In Awe: I thought MY vast warehouse of useless information was rich, full and deep, but I am NO match for the information you just shared!! :-)

   Lester is an odd name.

    Methinks Agnes got off a little easier than she could have - not even a strong lecture.

    Do the math. $3200 divided by 180 days (6 months) is about $17-18 a day. I’m not familiar with the whole country. But in this low-cost area, you’d be very fortunate to find a place as low as that.

    Lester looks more like a genetically perverted opossum.

    He looks like “Goatsucker” from “Lost Side of Suburbia”

    Only Lester has more meat on his bones than Chupacabra.

    I was hoping Agnes was going to have to work off the bill — lots of humor potential with her “helping out” at the vet’s…
