Marmaduke by Brad Anderson for August 08, 2019

That lamp ran out of light.

I don’t understand – Marm doing something very dog like in pulling a roast off the table, and yet he’s able to conceive of trying disguise himself as a lamp. I want a consistent level of anthropomorphism.

Uh-oh, they are so busted.

Can relate to this one. Years ago my sister made a Sunday dinner roast and put it on the center of the dining room table. She left the room for a bit and her beagle, Toffee, decided she wanted some. Little while later she returns and sees the roast is gone. Looking around she spies Toffee, there in a corner of the room finishing off the roast. Evidently she managed to climb up and grab it. Needless to say, Toffee barely escaped with her life that day!

Years ago, when I was a kid, my dog was begging at the table. We were ignoring him like usual, so I guess he finally got tired of it. He jumped up on the table, grabbed my pork chop off my plate, and took off with it. Of course, the dog’s name was Bandit!

Marmaduke just wanted to test mom’s cooking ! She got 4 paws !

Busted! Nice try though…..

reminds of the scene from “A Christmas Story” when the dogs knock off and eat the turkey from the table…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cFHAJ5asMk

Strange. It always worked for Bugs.

How can you put up with him anymore? Just give him to me!

I think the first clue was that lamps don’t usually have doggie breath.

marm ate it already??

They’d love him in the Orient.

Why was the roast in a place where Marmaduke could reach it?

It would appear that Mom wants to punch Marm’s lights out!

Any dog that did such a deed in our household would have ended up in the Chinese dog festival at NO charge.
