From the guy whose dog is his best friend to the crazy cat lady who calls them her children, it seems like everyone these days has some form of pet. Whether we admit it or not, many of us are surely having conversations with these pets behind closed doors. For this competition, create a comic revealing the awkward conversations that people have with animals that others will never know about. Whether the animal can talk back or it's merely a one sided discussion is up to you.

I will judge this one in roughly two weeks or whenever it feels we've run out of things to talk about.

At home with ragu4u & Makin_d_bacon C'mon Yeller! Come to daddy Rags! Why on earth did you get that pet? And what's worse, you named him Yeller! You know how you get! This'll be way different! This Yeller loves me and the Vet said his chances of gettin' rabies is almost zero. All I know is that you bawl like a baby for a week after watching "Old Yeller"! WTF? C'mon Yeller, speak boy! Roll over? Gimme yer claw, maybe? How bout FETCH? Wanna fetch?

Real Life: The Dirty Dog Whisperer by four_legged_tripod 2-13-19

Who's a good boy? You are! Yes you are! Who's gonna do a good job for daddy? You will. Yes you will. I can here you talking to the dog clear out in the hallway. I wasn't talking to the dog. I was getting my penis ready for sex night.

This episode was scheduled to air on November 24, 1963. Arf! Arf Arf. Rrrrruff! What's that, Lassie? Arf Arf Arf. Rarararrr! Timmy stole a rifle from my gun cabinet and hooked the trigger to a timer? For some reason, CBS never broadcast it, and destroyed the tapes Ruff rufff! RRRRRarrrf! And went to Texas and left it on a grassy knoll, ready to go off midday Friday? I'm going to have to have a talk with that boy.

After the Apocoplypse... We are the last two mammals on Earth, Flipper. Now, it's up to re-populate the planet! I finally have a porpoise in life, Holly! LMFAO!! Ha, ha! Seriously, though, we have a lot of babies to procreate, so we'd better get started. I hope you like big cocks, Holly! Sure do, Flipper... I used to have Shaq O'Neal on a speed dial for midnight booty calls! Let me re-phrase that... I hope you like pretty big cocks, Holly!

Groovy! - Don't Put Me Down by edoggydog 2-13-19

You're stupid and you're lazy and you're retarded and you're fat and you're ugly and you're ball-less... *sniff* ...and...and you're CRYING?? My cat has feline cancer and the vet told me the best thing to do is put him down. I don't think it's working, though. It seems to just be making him depressed! Have you tried staples?

Ten years after the Apocolypse... I've been fucking you for a decade and you've yet to bear me any children! What gives? Heck if I know, Flip- wait. Weren't you a dolfin in the previous comic? DAMMIT, HOLLY!! YOU KNOW THE VIEWERS OF THIS STRIP HAVE EX-TREMELY SHORT ATTENTION SPANS!! Even so, I think they'll be able to realize my character is not even Holly.

Listen, you mangey mutt... If, you hop the wall and bury your bone in the neighbor's yard again, and I have to go over there and retrieve it again, I swear I'll just give it back to! Phreaky's sunning herself topless again? FUCKIN' 44-DD YES!!!

Last call for submissions as judging will take place in the next day or so.

Thanks to all who entered and the time is now here to declare a champion. Plenty of good conversation to choose from but my selection this time around goes to edoggydog for the entry "Don't Put Me Down." Congrats, the next competition is yours!

Thanks, Neo11!  I thought this contest idea was one of the best ideas in awhile.

New CC up in a hot minute!
