Red and Rover by Brian Basset for May 13, 2021

Squirrel that big would make a lot of squirrel pot pies

I wonder if this is the famous Indian giant squirrel

It’s escaped from “Pooch Cafe”!

“It’s only a dream. It’s only a dream. …”

… Closer … closer … "I got y… (oops) … to … go home now "

Squirrel!

Stay home and play with your squeaky toys, Rover!

Tail between the legs. It hurts me so when my Rugby does that. Rarely do I discipline him, he is truly such a good boy. He does it mostly when he is sick or going to the Vet. I am such a softy.

Poor Rover! What a nightmare! But it could have been worse—at least the squirrel let him go home!

Ratatoskr. Insult king of the Worldtree.

Presto! Hey Rocky! Look at what I pulled out of my hat!

A sudden change of perspective for Rover!

May not all your dreams come true, Buddy.

In your dreams, Rover

LOL. Check out Rover’s eyes (the real-life version) in that last panel.

Oops! Mama squirrel to the rescue. Thank goodness it’s only a dream, my little darling. It’s good to see Rover alone some days. Helps him shine to his fans, lol!

Great drawing! The whole story told in panel 5.

Brian should have shown sleeping Rover’s legs moving.

I love your darling squirrels.

Well now it makes sense! My Lab’s legs will twitch while he is sleeping; as if he is running. Then he’ll start to whimper…must be the giant Squirrel dream!

his eyelids smile until the end!!!

Chasing a mother is not in his mind!

This is simply hilarious.
