Red and Rover by Brian Basset for August 06, 2021

Nice try red, but you got the scientific types LOL

Nice try, girls. Entomology is the study of insects. The daddy long legs is an arachnid.

That doesn’t chase them away!

Those two are a little creepy

Red… you have to be a little careful with the Mintz twins

These two remind me of the twins in “The Shining”

Give in Red, it’s destiny!

Is it Muntz or Mintz. I enjoy seeing them this time of year. BTW, I think they are capable of totally out smaaarting young Red. Careful my friend, Rover has already flipped on you. That pool could be in their back yard by the end of the summer with Rover in it! Ha

I have always heard them called a “Granddaddy Long Legs” spider even though they are not a spider. Read they are more closely related to fleas and ticks.

Nice try, Red. Back to the drawing board.

I like Red’s eyes in first panel. He thinks girls are going to scram.

If it was an earwig I’d be getting it out of the pool. Yukky things.

I guess Red needs a different tactic!

It’s a comic, not a science lesson.

everytime i see one, Fred Astaire pops to mind..

Rover looks like he’s seeing a tasty snack.

Whew, they finally stopped talking in unison for a moment.

Hey. You like bugs. They like bugs. In twelve years they will be twin babes and you will have laid the foundation for dating, one, if not both of them…..

Too bad, Red.

So much for that idea.

All spiders are arachnids, but not all arachnids are spiders. Biggest difference is they only have two eyes instead of eight and they don’t spin webs. But more importantly, they can’t swim and those two letter girls need to rescue it!
