Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for January 21, 2021

how fortunate of you, Kevin

Ah, so that’s what they mean by a “bucket hat”.

The rescue dog now has an owner in need of rescue.

This is not good, Alice. You have shown fear and weakness in front of one of your peers. Your rep may suffer damage.

Norwegian Ant Hound? Wow! Guess the Swedish Meatball Mongrels were all taken!

What an odd little dog. :)

Damn Yankeees!

Antsy looks a bit like Alice

looks like a pug to me

And by her look in the second panel, I do believe she stepped in something…

(sing-songy) “Kevin’s gotta girlfriend!”

That girl has serious problems.

I’d want to pull his hat down over his head, too, if he told me his puppy “thinks he is people” when he needs to be taught to not jump on visitor’s legs. Just because he is little doesn’t make it OK. Puppies need to be taught.

Now when I see an owner doing dumb by their dog I’m going to silent call them bucket heads.

I think it’s a woodchuck.

I’ve met dogs like that

Norwegian Ant Hound? i thought it was a Lesser Pyranees, or a Mediocre Dane.

Ant Hound??? LOL!!!

With that head, I’m surprised she got the stocking cap down that far!

Not all puppies are created equal. Nor are bucketheads.

Wow! That beanie can really stretch!

I had a Norwegian Elkhound once. Of course, he never hunted elk. He did hunt lots of field mice though. Keen sense of smell that one. He could pinpoint a field mouse that was traveling under a foot of snow from his perch atop the second story deck in the winter. However, never keen enough to know you shouldn’t play tag with the skunks. ¯\(ツ)/¯

love is in the air

Alice may not have broken the word of her promise (“Hey! She didn’t call me a stupid bucket head!”), but she certainly has violated its spirit!

(I knew yesterday that Kevin’s winter cap would be a problem!)

A Norwegian Aunt hound once bit my sister. No, REALLY! She got better. :>)

Closest I could find. https://dogtime.com/dog-breeds/norwegian-elkhound#/slide/1
