    I remember that and remember thinking it was strange nothing ever came of it!

    So why is he taking it out on Poncho? Boomer’s the one that grabbed the rotting tree branch.

    I wonder? Since Orlando is here is the other dog going to split plankey in two and in the end both Poncho and Orlando will get a piece and Orlando being rich will do something nice to the crazy dog.

    Awww, poor dog. That rotting tree branch was his very own “plankie.” Maybe Poncho and Orlando will help him find a new, rotting tree branch.

    I never even saw the original events, and somehow I remember them in vivid blue tones.

    LOL! Now I remember it too! Paul Gilligan is pure GENIUS! He waited patiently for us readers to forget about that strip and then threw it back in! GREAT!

    Who’d have thought that one plank of wood could cause so many problems. You know, looking back, the “River Dance” tickets could have been a very subtle clue, since the rotting tree branch was lost in the river.

    But how did this dog plot all that out with the free tickets and Poncho and his friends going to that all you can eat pie thing or whatever it was if he’s so enamoured of a piece of rotting tree branch? Is he rich too?

    Come to think of it, I did sort of feel there was something missing when they went no further with this dog and his rotting branch at the time. I wanna hear the whole story behind this.

    I think it was about 2 months ago, but don’t remember the exact date. This is thrilling writing Paul, great work!

    Have all of you forgotten that Fish was never interrogated as to whom entered the house and took ‘Plankie’.

    I too wondered why nothing ever came of the boyz dumping that dog’s rotting tree branch. I felt for that pooch.

    just as CX Flyboy says, I also thought it was odd that nothing came of that other dog, who actually was responsible (in dog logic) for Plankie’s rescue. Poncho is such a piece of work, one HAS to admire his self centerness!

    Priceless…. I love where Poncho drifts off to seeing how “young” he thought he looked. The selfish nature of us all.

    Yes dear aprille1, I too had feelings of sorrow for the poor creature. Branchial loss, (rot notwithstanding) for you see, I once lost my binkie, and was sore distressed. (They had to give me baby valium to calm my shattered soul.)

    Oh yes, bye the way, what ever happened to the Dr.Carver’s Best Cookie recipe you promised…..?
