I knocked myself out once. My dachshund ran up & sat on my chest & watched me breath for a minute, than licked my face until she got slobber in my nose & I woke up. My friends said it was so cute how she was “trying to revive me”.
Pizza girl and Daren both, although Daren and the bar regulars didn’t seem to pay much notice, or rather they misunderstood when they did notice such as when Dietzel was playing jacks and Daren tossed them out as a choking hazard.
I’m really not surprised at Dietzel’s laid-back, (almost Perry Como caliber)attitude to the whole thing. My family has never owned a “normal” pet. A cat that begged for beans, a dog that loved to peel bananas, my sister-in-law’s cat that would have to sit in front of the stereo whenever an Alice In Chains song would come on, things like that. Dietzel waiting patiently for Monica to reach the logical conclusion is one of the reasons we love him.
(his “that took long enough” eyeroll in panel four is classic)
I had a cat once that loved watching baseball on TV…whenever the ball was hit into the air and went against the dark background of the stands, she’d totally pounce…
If I didn’t know Dietzel was a stalwart and faithful companion, I’d almost guess he had something to do with her dropping the bottle, given that eye-roll in the 4th panel…a cold doggy-nose placed on a bare leg, say in panel 2, would have just that effect…
Try lying down on the floor and then hold a glass beer bottle away from your forehead at arms length, then drop it. You’ll be surprised how much that bottle weighs when it hits you. Especially base first like that.
Ma used to tell us about once, way back when, in the apartment we lived in when we first moved to Oakland CA, she left a empty Coke bottle (we had glass bottles then, when dinosaurs and Raiders ruled the earth) on the windowsill above her and Pop’s bed. Early the following morning, she reached up to get her eyeglasses, and pulled on the corner of the curtain. The bottle had been sitting on the curtain, and flipped off the sill. Ma said that the bottle had just enough time to turn one complete revolution before landing on Dad’s forehead right side up. It popped loud, the way empty glass bottles sound, and my dad jumped out of bed swinging, and Ma was already by the door, laughing and apologizing. He used to tell us she did it on purpose, but she had crazy luck like that. They passed away last year, but comedy like that is forever.
This is my third or fourth read through, and it’s been commented on by Bud/Brandi, and Amanda…Dietzel seems to have/not have thumbs. Will this ever get explained, Paul? And will Dietzel ever be returned to normal (for him)?
must be dreaming of Gerald Butler
Dietzel does not show a whole lot of concern, despite witnessing his owner knocking herself out cold with a beer bottle.
Indeed…I’m thinking this is a semi-regular occurrence and he knows to pause his movie for just the right amount of time…
Yep .
Ah, but he’s staying near her, rather than ignoring her to watch from the couch (which is probably closer to the TV).

Dietzel knows she’s not hurt. If she was, Bud would have been there momentarily.
Well, she’ll need more than a white chocolate mocha in the morning…I wonder if “Nudge” will assert herself again at the coffee shop…
He’s not using the padded chin rest(s)…
EVIL!
Bwa-ha-ha-ha!
… ear warmers…
Things that make you got Ahhhh….
Well it turned out to be a good evening for Dietzel anyways. 😛
Dietzel has the best seat in the house … lucky dog …
Time for a trauma induced dream sequence!
Don’t give Pablo any ideas. 😛
Awwww Dangit.
And now, back to our regularly scheduled progam already in progress….
And then Monica died, which caused Jin to snap completely, forcing Bud and Brandi to destroy her and a great deal of the western hemisphere.
The end.
~D.
Bowling Ball Event reloaded?
The Gerald Butlers add a touch of class.
Heheheh . Dietzel FTW again . Nothin wrong with a little slapstick .
I really love the beat , of panels 2-4 , BTW .
“iAye!-DOOK!-*play*…..iAye!-DOOK!-*play*…..”
Yeah, I’d sample it…
LOL! Great sequence… why are x-ed out eyes so funny?
And yet, there still manages to be a highly enjoyable amount of cheesecake in this update. Excellent.
Good boy, Dietzel!
Maybe Dietzel is watching a movie that has Gerald Butler in it. Like Gamer?
Dietzel’s dogness comes and goes.
Has he exhibited non-dog-like behavior in front of anyone
except Monica?

We used to have a cat that would eat corn off the cob (if you held it for him)……I just realized that cat had mind control powers.
Ah, the classic ‘pluses/exes’ over the eyes; now that’s comedy!
Ahh … the ever faithful Dietzel.

I guess Monica’s bottle balancing skills aren’t what they used to be. :-))
Hey – nobody’s gonna steal Monica while her faithful dog is on the … job?
I’m just surprised at the apparent weight of that bottle.

So… Monica is “seeing stars?” 😛
