Pickles by Brian Crane for May 11, 2020

Yes, you are very fortunate to have been picked out by loving parents. From all of the many choices they could have made, they picked you.

frightening, isn’t it, Roscoe?

yep, could be!

Love Roscoe!

Yes, in fact.

Just be glad Earl wears clothes.

Muffin doesn’t wear clothes, either, Roscoe.

Deep, deep doggy thoughts.

Not the only one. The cat too.

Absolutely! It means you were chosen and are loved!

Who loves Ya Baby ? The Pickle Family ;-)

yes…and we’re all the better that you were!

Adopted? It’s certainly the first hypothesis you’d want to explore.

Not to worry Roscoe — that collar is very stylish

He wears a collar. If it has his phone number and name, it’s the best clothing item he can wear.

Awww! Roscoe is doubting himself! How the hell did I end up with this crazy family anyways? Woof!

Yes. Yes you are adopted. Bless anybody who adopts a dog or cat.

No…YOU adopted the Pickles family. You rescued them from a life of boredom. All dog owners know that.

Roscoe, check out “The Duplex”. All of those characters have odd and distorted shapes.

I never told any of my critters that they were adopted.

Could be Roscoe, my son pu a shelter dog and named him Roscoe after you big guy

Dogs have owners, cats have servants.

Yes. Yes you were…..

Just whom was adopted is really just point of view.

Oh great, existential angst and nose prints on the mirror.

Yes! You were adopted,Roscoe, and chosen to be especially loved.

And why do they call me low pockets? Lol!

Yep. and why did you get to be the handsome one?

Allegedly, dogs have the capacity to understand that humans in their family circle are definitely different species, but don’t care much. Some animals can’t do this if you’re in their family unit I guess.

And CHOSEN, dude!

I never adopted any of my pet family, … they adopted me!

Just wait till you’re 13 and they make you wear Depends.

I like to think that my two think that our mom “birthed” them!XD

This is the best Roscoe strip I have seen. SO funny!

The rest must be suffering from a non canine birth defect.

You’re just more evolved then they are.

Being adopted means you were wanted very much!

Identity crisis!

and Roscoe’s the only one with pupils

Oh no, he’s figuring it out and is going to be devastated.
