Buckles
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Buckles is a comic strip by David Gilbert about the misadventures of naïve dog. Buckles debuted on March 25, 1996.
King Feature's Syndicate: "More of an only child with canine instincts than he is the family pet. Buckles can display all the charm...of a small child discovering how to find his way through life."
Most of the storylines of the Buckles comic series involve moral issues within Buckles himself. Of course since he is a puppy, issues are more to the point of whether or not to get in the garbage, roll in the mud, or chew up a valuable piece of clothing. One of Buckles' favorite things to chew up seems to be the remote control to the TV, often ending in a strict lecture from Paul (his owner). And of course most of his misadventures end either with a praise and a treat, or a quick "No! Bad Dog!"
