Cartoon of the day

This cartoon was sold yesterday to Leatherneck Magazine.  It's kind of an inside joke in that in The Marine Corps, your rifle is your best friend.  Your are taught that it IS your best friend because it can keep you alive.  You learn to take it apart and put it back together blindfolded. 

 That is why they put so much empahsis that every Marine must qualify with the rifle on the rifle range.  Sometimes you have to sleep with your rifle . . . it becomes your best friend . . in the cartoon above, the poor dog senses that he has competition for that title right now . . . you know how dogs can sense fear . .  of course they can also sense love . . .
