Every. Single. Comment. Relatable. And the dog eyes switching in the panels - yep! As you question so effectively, I now wonder if this is exactly how my dog thinks? But then... I witness the casual trotting off down the hall as I'm eating breakfast only to be then racing after a trail of toilet paper. Thank you.

Just trying to distract you. When you get up to fix the toilet paper situation, blammo. Say goodbye to your breakfast!

Those dogs are a total hoot. I can't take my eyes off them. Thank you.

Soul dog used to carry an empty Cup o' Soup container he'd found all the way home, obscuring his vision and entire long schnozzz. He had class.

Laugh out loud great with perfect mix of words and pictures. As I got to the end I finally realized that this may have been what a motorcyclist's tank top proclaiming "Truth is the new hate speech" I saw just yesterday may have meant. Don't know what said motorcyclist's favorite snacks may be, prefer not to contemplate. But thank you for this!

Aww. THANK YOU. Now I have to figure out how hate speech figures in to this.

Lower right corner dog, last panel, proclaiming the teacher's lesson as the "worst kind of liberal propaganda" is what triggered the connection for me. Amazon sells a T-shirt featuring "Truth is the New Hate Speech," assuring it's a "political message perfect for the conservative republican or libertarian person interested in what is truth, even if it is considered hate speech by sensitive snowflakes!" I didn't mean to open a can of politically correct worms, but thank you again for delivering me to a greater measure of clarity on the topic. Will also add said motorcyclist was lunching solo in the heart of snowflake country, before he roared off down the road in search of his lost muffler.

Hilarious. When I find Charlie munching on old tissue as if he's sneaking a box of cookies, I say, "You're so smart. I don't get it." Your visual breakdown explains our differences.

Do not be surprised if your dog walks out on you.

Another great one, Merrill. And I like Teacher Dog's Dr. Zaius- style vest look.

Damn. Now I have to go google Dr. Zaius.

By the way, a slobber-covered tennis ball pried loose from a dog’s mouth is great for removing shards of Kleenex from fresh-out-of-the-dryer shirts and slacks. Win-Win!

Oh, thanks for resurrecting the memory of a roommate's dog regurgitating a tampon onto the kitchen floor. The same dog that ate an entire loaf of bread that had been mistakenly LEFT OUT ON THE COUNTER (FAIR GAME!).
