Red and Rover by Brian Basset for April 28, 2024

No, Rover. It’s just a pointless line.

Red’s busy using nothing.

Today’s Wizard of Id strip is a similar fishing strip with a more alcohol-themed approach as it involves the Wizard and Bung not catching any fish.

Doing nothing never looked so good!

I know Red’s feeling! As long as I’m with my Lizzie, happiness is close behind!

Nailed it!

Fishing buddies of the Vertebrata (subphylum).

growing up in a shore bungalow with 8 cousins, all of them girls, I often went ‘fishing’ like Red is doing.

How Precious !!!

A boy and his dog on a warm clear day at the pond… sweet.

takin’ care of business, he loves to work at nothing all day

Fishing is supposed to be fun even if the fish don’t bite. If it isn’t, you’re doing it wrong!

In Miami airport reading present and old Red & River adventures. Love these guys!

Use worms if nothing else when fishing.

Red and Rover have the right idea …… just being together is the “BEST” …….. ;)

Amen!

Seems like a good way to spend the afternoon to me.

A perfect way to spend the day.

I cannot remember who said that “The worst day of fishing is better than your best day at work,” but he or she is very right.

I did that, once. I caught the second largest catfish to be caught in Illinois. I also caught more fish than I did with bait. Fish aren’t very smart.

I am, unfortunately, not renewing my subscription to the Houston Chronicle because of how the digital version is now being just that—digitized. Sadly, too, I will no longer be able to read my now favorite comic—Red and Rover. Ever since subscribing to the HC, I have really enjoyed reading R&R. Red’s conversations with Rover and Rover’s thoughts which Red can completely understand makes for a delightful repartee between the two protagonists. I will miss you.
