Lucky? Really? $5 Salisbury Steak?

A man stands a fence with a sign that reads "Beware of vicious giant dog". He hears a small bark and goes into the yard where he pets a small dog that only comes up to his knees. "Oh-ho-ho! You friendly little fella. Your master certainly has a sense of humor," the man says, petting the small dog, while a very large dog, whose legs are the only thing we can see stands chained up behind him.
March 15, 1966
We're all familiar with Clifford, the Big Red Dog, who debuted just three years before this strip. Inspired by that friendly, lovable dog, Art introduced Hogarth, the Vicious Giant Dog. I mean, I'd buy those books.

Brutus is at his favorite disgusting diner again. The waitress comes up to him. "About your order of our five-dollar salisbury steak special. Well, you got the last one." Brutus happily responds "Lucky me!" The waitress continues "Not really. I told that to the guy who just sat down in booth 2 and he bid ten dollars for your salisbury steak meal."
Seems to me that Brutus still gets the salisbury steak, unless you want to, I don't know, I'm just spitballing here, fight to the death. Survivor gets the salisbury steak.
