Red and Rover by Brian Basset for February 25, 2020

Sure. 1% increase.

By the way, we will need to increase your room and board fees.

Perhaps Rover could have his own allowance which Red could look after for him.

Pay up, Dad…Rover’s toys and Milky Bones are getting pricey!

You’re a real sweetheart, Red.

Dad, you have to admit that’s a very good reason!

Sounds like a pretty good reason.

Awww! Red has savvy business sense…..

Dad – Red’s the best kid ever…give him a raise…I’m all for it, Red

I never got an allowance. Still had to cut grass and do dishes etc.

Still got a few of those probably worth about .37cents

Not trips to the hobby shop?

That was a couple years before the 15 cent bottles of Testers Paint went up to 19 cents.

Awe, good boy, Red! You look so cute in your jammies!

Red didn’t tell anyone why he deserved a raise.

I remember, at that age, when comic books went from .12 per issue to a whopping .15! Talk about inflation…!

“You mean, you need a raise for C.O.L.A.?”

“Uh, yeah. I need more money for that too.”

Ill give you a raise son but now you need to start buying Rovers dog food.
