“What started it all for me was my best friend said he thought I’d like Pooch Café, he reads the newspaper everyday and I don’t. One Sunday he left one out for me and it was the one where Poncho is running from the retractable leash, and tries to get Boomer to help and they are frantic and both end up in a trash bin. What got me was when the leash stops and Boomer is like, “Is it out there?” and Poncho says “I don’t know!” and when the open the lid poor Poncho get smoked in the face with it and he yells at Chazz “hold on tighter to this thing!!!” and all Chazz can say is “I’m Sorry!” Now I can longer continue my day until I have visited your site to see the new strip. Love it and Thanks!
Ryan”
And thanks to you, Ryan!

I love the retractable leash storyline. One of my favorites!
I also like how the leash kind of “waits” until it strikes. Like it’s got its own agenda.
I own the one where Chazz gets buzzed from his secretary saying a retractable leash is here to see him, again “waiting” as if it is on a mission. THAT is one of the kinds of things that makes Pooch Cafe’ a notch above the rest.

Thanks for finding that one, Lulu. As soon as I saw the Sunday strip Paul posted I immediately thought of the one you shared.

You’re welcome.
If we think back, what are some of our other favorite storylines? I should start a new thread on the message board as several come to mind.
Just quickly:
When Chazz was injured and the doctor looked like Frankenstein.
Fish on the beach and Herve.
Tar-Gor.
Carmen’s tattoo.
Anyone else have some favorites that come to mind?

You don’t see it in this strip, but the best thing about the retractable leash gag is the sound effect of the leash… hands down.

I don’t remember this one and now want it to go with my other strip.
Paul, is this one available?

Lulu – that last one you linked was the series where I first started my Pooch journey! I love the one-or-two after that where Chazz & Poncho are shivering in the corner hiding from the leash

Antony, that one is linked here too in the first post I made.
