I dunno, he seemed pretty well prepared with the hose.
He could have done with a helmet.
In, you know, the future.
Except it's the past now.
Well... it was earlier..
So it.. It's both the past and future?

I am impressed.
It's a bit like those Land's End catalogs... you're not paying for them, you don't actually want them, but you buy ONE THING and suddenly you get every single catalog for months.
He obviously has a subscription. He even got the special little "Dennon Buglerer" mailbox so his paper doesn't get wet in the rain. Haven't you seen those sorts of things before?
No no. The Dennon Buglerer just gives Mr. Owl so many free papers that they felt bad and threw in a free mailbox thing, so they wouldn't get caught in the rain.... or rocketship precipitation....
No, the paper is actually the Dennon Bugler. The Dennon Buglerer is the masked person who places it in people's mailboxes overnight, and always signs the box afterwards to let them know that he has struck.
Oohhhh now I get it. That makes so much sense! The headline on the paper would be "The Dennon Buglerer Has Struck Again". Mr. Owl must have already read the article and has flipped to the weather section.
You sure it isn't just because it's first thing in the morning? Everyone's taller in the morning before the slow drag of being vertical grinds our spines until we collapse into a gelatinous ooze.
And as handsome an owl as Mr. Owl is, I'm not sure I want to know what's going on beneath those feathers. Please don't go there, Driscoll.
The rocket was full of space babies. His backyard does not yet have space babies in it, and when it does, there are only two, so it does not qualify as "full"
I love how there is no dialogue, no onomatopoeia, and Mr Owl's expression doesn't change at all (save the satisfaction of the sip of coffee), and yet in the last panel the atmosphere completely changes.

No, it is precipitating rocket ships.
It's only called rain when it is precipitating water.

The Dennon Buglerer is a fine paper, not to be compared to trash catalogs.
They even go out of their way to find the people who the current news would affect in a comedic manner, and give them free papers.
Mr Owl seems to get so many of these that he has a newspaper box, even though he has no subscription.

I just assumed Dennon Buglerer was his neighbor. Mr. Owl steals his newspaper in revenge for the late-night trumpeting.

Lol. You know, when I first read it, I thought that too, or maybe Mr. Owl's name on his mail was Dennon Buglerer.

Not "become". Mr. Owl was lanky in this strip because it is before rockets started crashing in his backyard, full of space babies.
