Tip to parents: If your child is marching around with a protest sign and a “Democracy Now” headband, maybe you should consider getting them the damn puppy.
I've had two experiences just like that. In kindergarten, I convinced my friends to march around holding up signs that said "Don't kill snales" (spelled wrong because I was only 5). In fifth grade, I wrote a 4 page essay to my parents, trying to persuade them to get a puppy. the next month, Oscar, our German Shepard/ dachshund became a part of our family.
I marched around my house waving that sign that says
PUPPY OR BUST. It was just like this in all but one detail. Mom did not get me a Golden Retriever puppy.
Success! (I love your cartoons, btw.) My wife begged for a puppy for months, and when I said yes she acted just like Chapel. Some things don't change no matter how old you get.
