That Right Instep o’ Justice haunts me. I can to little to resist it, other than to use it for good.
Mark Trail has been taking a bite out of crime — pet-nappers, to be specific! Andy has been his ally in the fight, and their plan has worked perfectly as Andy’s radio transmitter leads Mark to the villains! Mark’s punchin’ skillz are preceded by his formerly unknown kickin’ skillz! Don’t let those “gay chicken legs” (from CC’s Mautha) fool you!
I sure hope there’s a Plan B…
Not Ghostbusters…but Andy! (That’s Andy the St. Bernard, not Dr. Andy Reed, aka Count Morgu, although both of them seem to get more than their fair shares of crap heaped upon them.
All right, so using Andy to find petnappers might be a good idea instead of the usual far-fetched one. It just seems that Andy lingers in the background, forgotten (if you can forget a 150-lb. dog) until the 15-watt bulb comes on over Mark’s head. I guess that’s the fate of just about every sidekick, human, animal or superhero.
Whups! It’s public service time here in the Snark Cave (or in the basement). When will people learn? When will children learn? When will bouncy little puppies learn? Don’t make it so Mark Trail has to punch some common sense into you!
Good Lord! Mark Trail is always going on and on about the amazing perceptive skills of animals, and yet when those abilities are right there, he wanders off in a daze.
It’s okay, Andy; I don’t think Slylock will charge you for this.
Oh, come on, Mark…not even Rex is that clueless. All right–maybe he is.
All right, I’m going to repeat myself here, just because I think this distills the true essence of Andy, and all dogs. If Mark Trail really were a nature strip, the basic doggyness of the canine clan would be put right out there, upfront and unashamed! (Right, Andy? Who’s a good boy? Do you want to run and get help? Do you want to fly the plane? Do you want to win the Nobel Peace Prize?)
The keen eye of CC’s Trilobite discovers what really happens to 80s band members…
One of the December Sunday Mark Trails regaled readers with the history of plants associated with the holiday season. The spines of holly were purported to have been used in the crown of thorns that Jesus wore! Well, maybe back then…
