DOG LAUGHS: Dog Parents

gordonbagshaw2 Comments

Picture this: you’re quietly sitting at your mum’s feet, gnawing on your silent confidant, Monkey, while listening to the adults talk. Mum and dad have friends over. You’re not entirely sure what they’re saying, but let’s be honest, none of it really matters anyway, that is, until you hear your name. Sure, everything between your name is still gibberish, but whatever it is, it’s the sound of happiness.

Picture this: You’re tired after a long day of doing nothing, so what do you want more than anything? You want to do more of nothing. Well that ain’t happening for old Amarela in today’s comic strip.

  • This is "Dog Laughs," a comic strip by Gordon Bagshaw. Title: "The Old Lady." Number of panels: 3. The following three images correspond to each panel of the comic strip. Setting: Amarela, the old family dog, is taking a nap on the couch, but this Rhodesian Ridgeback's world is about to change in a big way by a little fellow. Picture this: You're tired after a long day of doing nothing, so what do you want more than anything? You want to do more of nothing. Well, that ain't happening for old Amarela in today's comic strip.
  • Panel 1 of 3: Amarela, the old family dog, is sawing logs on the big couch when Momma comes in with a surprise: the family's new sheltie pup, George, who's sitting on top of the old girl. Momma says, "Amarela, wake up sweetie. I want you to meet George."
  • anel 2 of 3: George, the sheltie puppy, is running back and forth like a madman, full of beans and curiosity. Amarela is stunned by the display of pure energy. George is shouting all kinds of questions: "What's this? What's that? What's over there?" "Oh, I'll destroy that later," and so on and so forth."
  • Panel 3 of 3: George, the sheltie puppy, is still running back and forth, showing no signs of stopping. Amarela simply turns to go back to sleep while saying to Momma, "You just had to get the one with batteries, didn't ya?"
