Well, folks, I don't mind telling you — this is the funniest one we've run all year, and I've been doing this a good long while! Just look at what he's doing with the hat. Really study the look on his face; the expression is what MAKES it, honestly. Take your time with it!

You know the drill: give me your best punchline for the picture up top, sign it with your name and your town, and mail it — er, send it — right in. Best line runs in next week's Bugle with your name in big proud letters. And please, don't overthink the little dog. He's just being himself down there. Off you go!

One line per customer, but come back tomorrow with another — we count every single one!
