Pooch Cafe by Paul Gilligan for July 07, 2009

We were right.

You watch enough TV “Mysteries” these things become bloody obvious.

So many of you nailed it.

But who took Plankie that’s what I want to know. Forgive my ignorance, but I’m still fairly new to this strip.

I’m also new to this strip. I look forward to getting to know more about it. Hey, Plankie, wait for me!

ladywolf17, his filthy rich, evil brother from the same litter.

I know this strip since 2004 when I moved to Dacula from Savannah and saw it in the Gwinnet Daily Post, and then online (Sept 2006) when I moved here to Clayton County.

OH NO! its a plank-nabbing.

“But who took Plankie that’s what I want to know.”

The rich brother. After all, he was born under that same porch.

He has everything else. The plank of wood is his “Rosebud.”

BTW: Cliff notes review for “Citizen Kane”: “I sat here for 3 hours and “Rosebud” is a stinkin’ sled???”

Enter the rich brother. ( stage left)

Who else would have taken it? It would only be valuable to them. To anyone else it’s only a piece of wood.

Run, Poncho, go check, now.

Poor Poncho! He’s lost his security blanket!

The Fish took it. He needs a plank for those pirates to walk.

Third panel sums up Poncho very nicely…

I feel ya Poncho. I dream about food too.

That no-good rich brother of Poncho’s has been after Plankie from the start.

Poncho’s Eleven…. I see a heist coming along

Orlando, angered by Poncho’s rudeness and sad with the loss of his master resorts to stealing the only thing that links him to his past… plankie. He has money!

Plankie, of course Plankie and maybe Fish. Get to Orlando’s house right now! This is going to get real ugly. Poncho will maybe need Boomer and the boys at the Pooch Cafe for help!

Orlando!

Spoiler alert,it’s not Orlando.
