Red and Rover by Brian Basset for September 07, 2011

Ah, the hazards of being honest!

Welcome Back to School RED!

Too much information, Red!

I hated school. The teachers and classmates hated me. Id rather been home with my dog. He loved me no matter what.

Love the girl’s face in the last panel.

Russell?

Not the best way to start off the year, Rus— I mean, Red. Now the teacher will definitely remember you. Oh well, it could be worse. You could throw up in front of everyone.

Russell, Mussell! Call me anything but late for lunch, Ma’am!Oh by the way, I go by…….(crash) sound of head hitting desk. So much about making a good impression on the first day of school. The desk got your … point?

McLean is Red’s last name??!!!

I used to work for this idiot who went by Russ. If you really wanted to make him mad, you called him Russell. And now Red is going to make me think of Russ.

Now we know Red’s full name.

Actually, he’s russet. Get it? (Somebody’s probably said that before.)

“My name’s McLean… Red McLean!”

Now his face is Red.
