I like this. reminds me of the Gannet Retort classic from about 12 months ago. Nice whimsy Dog.
one of my dogs sniffs bums, guests don’t like it.
I love the multi-purpose stepladder. And the random frog.
Thank goodness the turtle can breathe through its mouth as well (frame 8).
‘Poffertje. The end’. I have no words. Gold.
So the turtle CAN breath through its mouth as well? Well that’s a relief - frame 8 had me worried too for a minute there.
JANE DOE: There’s nothing random about that ‘frog’. He is the editor of Crikey.
Whew! I am so relieved to know the turtle wasn’t relying solely on his anus to breathe. That would have been very restrictive! Sorta like trying to make a basket without any fingers.
Good one, Mr Onthemoon.
Give the Poffertje his own show.
You truly are…one sick puppy FD.
That’s one small stepladder, but one giant blow for dog-kind.
I like Poffertjes.
Yes, I know JGreen is the frog. I meant, he just doesn’t seem to have a lot to do with the bum breathing turtle or the bomb-sniffing dog.
Frame 9a: Turtle licking dog
Frame 9b: Turtle using Poffertje to get treacle out of dog’s difficult crevices…
Frame 7a: OK I scrub your Wilson now.
I wish KRudd’s cat were here. He’d know what to say to sort out this silliness. Maybe he’s forcefeed the frog truffles.
Random ! FDOM. But very funny comments. Thanks folks ……
Alternate Frame 8 - Dog bumming Tuckey.
what a talented turtle
i heart poffertje
6b: Turtle bumming poffertje. WASTED LOVE!!!
The best Firstdog ever
I’m prepared to admit my ignorance, but the one thing I didn’t get was who or what is poffertje?
BTW. this is the Chinese for bum-breathing turtle 亀, and this is for our hero, First Do, 犬 whose heart (心) is as 大 as the great outdoors, and whose 彐 susses out everything.
Stop it FD! Just because you saved a turtle or three.
That doesn’t give you the right to sit in the bath and sing…..
“Sit on my face and tell me that you love me”.
Think of the children!!
Oh! FD is supposed to be humourous? I must get my sense of humour re-tuned. No, I don’t think I will.
Venise, a poffertje is a Dutch delicacy. Like a mini pancake, delicious with a bit of raspberry jam and possibly a bit of cream. If you’re anything like me, which for your sake I hope you aren’t, one is too many and a hundred not enough.
This needs to be a poster. I would totally buy one.
Mmmmmmmmm poffertje….
I see Andrew Fraser in The Australian trying to take credit for bum-breathing turtle, though on Thursday he would only go as far as ‘bottom-breathing’ (how delicate).
I predict Monday’s Oz front page — ‘Dog Bumming Turtle!’ featuring Sabi and the Afghanistan tortoise (Agrionemys horsfieldii).
Aussie multicultural Chinese whispers.
Then again it can be hard to stay on task when you’ve missed lunch.
Brian Kelly: Oh, I thought they were profiterols, and French. Thanks for your reply!
FD: I can’t get past frame 5. It chokes me! Um, that may not be the best word there. What the hell?
BRIAN KELLY: I think the French actually use to effs. Proffiterols.
Regrettably, I am everything like you! I can’t bring biscuits into the house, or I’ll eat the lot. Woe is me.
So …. Rudd walks into the mess tent, see.
‘Remember what happened last time?’ he asides to Lachie. ‘Got to remember to talk normal, unforced, no fake ocker’ he whispers.
‘How’s it goin mate?’ to the khaki blokes seated, even before he can stop himself. ‘Having fun?’ Oh God, that was so lame, he cries internally.
Meanwhile Lachie has an inspiration. He ducks out skipping pancakes. As mum used to say over the fruit barrows, my job is to fix problems before He even has the chance f*ck up, not least this false lingo to the soldiers. You know, be prepared.
‘Now where’s that ungrateful flea bitten pooch they found hanging around the Taliban camp rubbish pile?’ he intones craftily.
Time for a shaggy dog story for HWMBO.
