This one took me the longest time to figure out -- very subtle... very good.

4. sad.

[Pool Hall Ace]

5. Okay, I don't get it.

Could someone help me out?

[rug]

6. I don't think anyone gets it but no one will admit it.

[Kali]

7. you don't think bluesbassman got it?

makes sense to me (I wouldn't have got that, though)

[kentauros]

9. You mean that no one has gotten that the dog was holding back?

And then looks shamed because he was found out?

I like how he reached into a hidden pocket to pull out the second bird :D

[MiddleFingerMom]

10. PLATE OF SHRIMP!!!!!!! n/t

[kentauros]

12. United Fruitcake Outlet?!?!?!

:P

[rug]

14. There's a dog in that cartoon?

[kentauros]

15. I didn't know it was a cartoon.

I thought it was a comic-strip.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

17. I bet he found it in the New Yorker.

[MiddleFingerMom]

8. OK... I don't get it either... I was just hoping someone would enlighten me w/o me admitting it...

That retriever was out retrieving the hunter's prey... and tried to hold out on him.
.
.
.
.
In the next to last panel, you see him reaching under his arm.
.
.
.
.
Then in the last panel, he's brought out the second bird and hung his head in shame.
.
.
.
.
And I LOVE that first panel where he's so happy to be helping and, you know... hopeful.
.
.
.
.
That's actually pretty much what a dog might actually do (gluttons, but with a conscience).

18. at least a cat is honest when it says

Fuck You and walks away with its nose in the air ;)

[MiddleFingerMom]

19. Every time I hissed in disapproval at NoName...

.
.
.
.
.
...she would give this VERY distinctive curt little "miaou". I always thought
she was saying, "But I'm not DOING nothin'!!!".
.
.
.
.
.
Kali told me (without hearing her) that she was saying, "Fuck you."
.
.
.
.
.
After hearing that, I listened closely...
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
...and darn if Kali wasn't right.

20. cats are always happy to provide us with critter carcases too

yes INDEED

[Pool Hall Ace]

24. Oh, okay, that I get.

This dog obviously has a furry breast pocket of some sort.

I was ready to print the strip out and fold the page in thirds, a la MAD magazine. :D

[Duer 157099]

11. That's ridiculous

dogs don't have pockets

[nolabear]

13. Gee I don't mean to be smug but I got it in just a second.

Unless I didn't get it.

No, I got it.

Didn't I?

[Tuesday Afternoon]

16. yeah, because everyone knows that a dog has pocket under his arm.

:hi:

[nolabear]

21. It's his inside coat pocket, silly.

[Bertha Venation]

22. Would someone please explain it to me?

[kentauros]

23. Here are two separate and simultaneous explanations within this thread:
