Sometimes with a kid you have to be very specific.
At first, i was going to draw Blake in human clothes as a disguise as well. And then I realized that would be not make any sense. As much sense as a bear and vulture in clothes. It’s all perspective.
Ted’s outfit still makes me smile.

That’s a joke from my childhood. We’d put our dishes in the dishwasher, and our dog, Wiggles, would get his face in and lick ‘em as best he could, and we would call it the “pre-wash cycle.”
This was one of the first strips where I showed the deep blur in their lives between being animals with animal behaviors, and being cartoon characters who live very human lives as well.
Blake’s innocent “flaw” in logic still endears me and makes me laugh in this strip.
I also like dogs. Blake does comment that human ways are strange here, but he probably obeyed. I think dogs are confused by things that don’t make sense to them, but it doesn’t actually occur to them to question the will of the alpha.
Pop dog theory for you there this morning, folks!

I remember, when younger, almost the only food I had in the house was a pyramid stack of SpaghettiO’s. For lunch I’d take a can and a can-opener.
Healthier than cake, perhaps, but not much.
In the original version of this strip, in fact while the strip was still in development before Vachel even existed, this punchline was spoken by a second bear, who was later cut from the cast.
I think what Ted is missing is that with a fish you don’t have to keep buying cartons of milk and crayons.
See how small Blake’s nose is! And his snout! So long!
