Farley's perspective

I closely mimicked the bad drawing in the obedience-class strip....

It's too bad that Farley can't actually talk; he'd be telling Elly off in a heartbeat.

The first panel thought balloon is the one that got me to laugh. Do I call him "John" or "Daddy"? I can imagine Lynn Johnston having a very similar problem with Rod, based on that Peterborough Examiner interview.

"For this, I got pulled out of Doggie Heaven?"

Priceless.

Very funny! I love the artwork, too. I know you copied the original but it looks so much neater and more vibrant than the actual FOOB.

Have you seen the movie Up? The dogs in that film have special collars that translate their speech into English. "My master is really, really smart! Can I play with that tennis ball? Oh! Squirrel! I hate squirrels!" It'd be fun to imagine Farley with a collar like that. :)

I was originally planning to have him riff on that a bit further in the next panel, something like "How can I learn these commands if I can't reconcile our relationship?" But then I decided I wanted something about the bizarre spectating.

Good point! ;)

Thanks, Scritzy. Poor Farley, it's worse than what Buffy went through in season six. :)
