Little Dog Lost by Steve Boreman for October 27, 2013

Run, Little Dog! And take Torti with you. I don’t think they’re giving out bones.

It’s good, but it does give me the chills…

I don’t usually comment , But this one tugged at my heartstrings.

The art work struck me first, but this one does tug at the heart strings.

I’m hoping this is just a Halloween ghost story. I’ve become paranoid from all the great strips I’ve seen close down over the years, so I was afraid that LD would go in and that would be the end of the strip.

Scary!

Thanks a lot Steve! I don ’t like crying first thing in the morning! (Actually I ’m not crazy about crying period)!

Awww… my heartstrings are also quivering.

Poor little doggy! So trusting!

When i get to an afterlife, I’ll want my dogs too.

I wonder if it’s his master’s ghost?

I know it would ruin the strip if he found a home, but I wish he would anyway. It always breaks my heart when he’s so hopeful about finding a home and doesn’t.

Don’t go little dog. If it sounds too good to be true……..

Unexpected and genuinely creepy. Glad to see LD being circumspect in whom he follows, even after all this time. Good representation of a cautious dog, too. Our sweet little Ty was so suspicious all her life that when she’d climb the fence and we’d go looking for her she’d even give us the hairy eyeball before submitting to being rescued. Again. Miss her big time. (uh, not lost. Died a year ago at 16.)

Reminiscent of 2011’s Halloween Sunday offering: http://www.gocomics.com/littledoglost/2011/10/30#.Um0vGfmfhmw

…Sheds a tear… :(

…and, as Wild Sow said, eerily similar to the 2011 strip.

I was horrified at first, LDL looking for a home and all, but surely something will happen to save him!!! (Right, Steve?)

This reminds me of the one where he slept in the arms of the angel statue. So sad :-(

Gosh you do beautiful work Steve. Thank you.

(Just don’t take LDL from us)

As long as they only shelter him through the night……Bravo Steve!!

This could be a halloween trap, keep a-sharp lookout !

OKAY STEVE! KNOCK IT OFF! Said with love and affection for our DEAR Little Dog! This better be a BAD DREAM!

Steve, ever thought about doing a book of Little Dog? I would buy it in a heartbeat!

Spooky and somber, in both premise and execution; it’s impossible to tell whether the entity is coaxing LDL out of loneliness or malevolence, which is what makes it so disturbing.

Too sinister for me. The 2011 and 2012 Halloween strips were at least sweet and thought-provoking. This is just sad and cruel. Lighten up, Steve!

I just looked up last year’s Halloween strip, and that, too, is truly haunting, in more than one sense.
