Strip 481
(Plague is talking to Chloe the security corgi)
PLAGUE A baby shower? I’m supposed to put together a baby shower? I don’t know anything about babies, or showers!
(Chloe nuzzles up to Plague)
PLAGUE Let’s be honest. I was never cut out for anything even remotely maternal. This is going to be a disaster.
(Chloe rolls onto her back and looks up with puppy eyes; obviously begging to have her belly rubbed.)
PLAGUE I just don’t do cutesy and cuddly. That cooing and goo-goo baby talk is just ridiculous to me. There’s no way.
(Plague looks down at Chloe with confusion)
PLAGUE What?

The dog is trying to tell her something! 😮
Hmm… I wonder…

And I quote: “Hello. Pet me? Please pet me! Bellyrubs? No pet me? *Sniffle*”
She really doesn’t get the whole cute and cuddly thing. At all.

I forgot the ‘Uff’ sound that my corgi makes when he’s trying to get one’s attention. There’s ‘uff’,’erf’,’arrr’,’pfft’ and ‘aro’.

Ways to tell you’re an artist #117: You categorize the sounds your pets make not only by type, but also as written sound effects for use in comic form.
My family’s pet dog from over a decade ago had a begging for food bark that was about the equivalent of “raff-roof”. Only it’s the Minnesotan pronunciation of “roof”.

I’m wondering if Chloe is trying to hint she’s also pregnant (by way of Madrid’s dog Caesar.)

I wonder if she realizes that a baby shower does actually not involve giving a newborn a bath.
