Buckles by David Gilbert for March 15, 2024

Arden, for the bark of Buckles, do not jest!

Be nice, Arden. But I’m sorry to tell you, Buckles, it may take some time. We had a red tabby kitty named Ruari (red king in Irish) and he had to have his belly shaved for some kind of surgery, I forget what and it took forever for that fur to grow back. I hope yours is quicker.

Buckles looks like the coyote at the end of an episode, in that last frame.

Arden thinks “How many were killed in that wreck”!

It appears that Christiana did an impressive job not hurting Buckles…well, physically, anyway.

Poor Buckles. He’ll run away from home next time the little wench comes to visit.

Arden, you laugh and Buckles is gonna turn you into chicken tartare.

And people wonder why dogs will sometimes bite children…

Would they be doing Buckles a favour if they shaved the rest of him down, so his fur would grow back evenly?

Poor Buckles has been “beautified.”

In comic land it could grow back by tomorrow

You would be in good company with Jill ….

Poor Buckles ……. Arden maybe you’ll be Christina’s play thing next time ….. think about that before you laugh ….. ;)

Children with scissors must be monitored continually.

I am surprised Jill didn’t put a sweater on Buckles. He’s probably cold and embarrassed.

Oh that Arden…always the empathetic one…I repeat children should not be allowed to play with adult scissors…and should be watched around pets.
