Pooch Cafe by Paul Gilligan for July 08, 2010

What a deal!

That’s the way it goes, Porcho! Get used to it.

Oh lord! This is priceless!!!! :-D

That’s no way to talk about your mother.

Drop a dime on ‘er, Ponch.

The quality of mercy is not strain’d, It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath: it is twice blest; It blesseth him that gives and him that takes:

Funny, once I started quoting Jesus to someone, and they asked me if I was a Commie.

“Mom” looks a little depressed… or maybe just worn out from having to deal with Porcho.

This Living under the porch is starting to make more sense . A bottle of milk a biscuit and Me is all I can see!

@cdward: Yeah, all that “social justice” and “equality” stuff… I gather you weren’t quoting from the “Gospel According to Glenn Beck…”

Watch it, some of us actually like to hear the truth!!!!! You won’t get it on the Obama network Cnn

The speech quoted by Shiek Yerbouti is from THE MERCHANT OF VENICE, not the Bible.

Porcho is really Glenn Beck - wonder when he bring out the chalk board to show that MOM stands for Members Of Marxism!

WARNING! Horrible “shaggy dog story” ahead.

A joke told us by my Uncle, long ago and vaguely remembered.

And copied from:

http://www.clarion-call.org/humor/humorme.htm

A British bush pilot is flying on a job through the Australian outback when he encounters engine problems and is forced to make a crash landing. He survives, but is found unconscious and is taken to a local mission hospital which is run by the Sisters of Mercy. Upon awakening, he is greeted by the mother superior who advises him where he is and asks if there is anything he wants. He replies, “I am a bit thirsty…could I have a cup of tea?” to which the mother superior says, “I’m terribly sorry, but our supply truck is late and we are out of regular tea. However, we do have a sort of native drink that is brewed from koala hides.” the pilot thinks awhile and replies, “Well, I just have to have my cuppa…you can bring me that, thanks.”

The nun leaves and returns in a few minutes with a steaming cup. The pilot takes the cup gratefully, but upon taking a sip, instantly gags and spits it out. “This tea is filled with hair!”, he exclaims disgustedly.

“Oh, I’m dreadfully sorry!” The nun replies, “I forgot to tell you: The koala tea of Mercy is not strained.”

I LIKE shaggy dog stories….. or maybe I like shaggy story telling dogs? … or something like that …. (Too funny!)

Too bad this comic strip didn’t come out for Mother’s Day to remind us all.

Poohbear 192: Well at least we now know Stephen Pastis user name on GoComics.

Poohbear 192: I’ve heaard it before, but I loved hearing

it again. Do you know the one about the Indiana chief

who had three wives? Go you punsters

Morgan, um yeah, I knew that. I wasn’t referencing Sheik’s comment.

poohbear, excellent story! By the way, I used to have a dog named PoohBear.

She’s giving her milk to her pups? Socialist!! Socialist!!

There’s still one sibling who not only is still unnamed, but (so far as I’ve noticed) has not spoken a single word! Is he being saved for something special? Is SHE being saved for something?

Hmmm….

You’d better hope Mom’s not a communist. Half of you would get murdered by her.

fritzoid: All of them have been named already: Porcho, Blotch, Orlando, and Whitey.

There are five pups, not four. The mystery pup was last seen June 29, where it is also explicitly stated that there are five:

Look at panel 2; a “spotty” (as opposed to “blotchy”) eye marking. Also, that pup has no patch on its back.

It’s only been noticeable at all in about 5 panels since P:Y1 began. No name, and no dialogue so far.
