Bloodhound Gang

Mother Gargle is sitting in a chair, reading the newspaper. Brutus is putting on a coat. "Now Gladys and I will be gone for two weeks. This sealed envelope contains the combination to the safe. It is only to be opened in case of an emergency," Brutus explains to her. "The cab's here!" Gladys hollers from the front door. As Gladys and Brutus approach the taxi, Mother Gargle calls out. "Hold it! Hold it!" "What's wrong?" Brutus asks. "I think you gave me the wrong combination!"
October 19, 1986
I'm assuming there is cash in the safe if Mother Gargle needs cash for...something...I guess if the furnace goes out or Wilberforce is kidnapped.

Mother Gargle steals from her daughter and son-in-law. What a good person.

Brutus is sitting in his green chair talking with Wilberforce and Kewpie. "Hey, Pop, guess what Rusty's dog can do? Rusty lets his dog, Blue, sniff a bone, then Rusty...Wait. I'm not typing all of this garbage. Wilberforce is obviously in love Rusty and/or Rusty's dog, Blue. Blue can find a bone Rusty buried in the backyard so Brutus deduces that Blue must be a bloodhound. "Kewpie's not a bloodhound, I guess," Wilberforce asks. Gladys then calls everyone in for dinner and Kewpie bolts away. "Kewpie is, obviously, a chowhound," Brutus says.
Holy shit, enough about Rusty and Blue.

A "chow hound" is a cross between chow-chows and basset hounds. Kewpie is not that either.
