Out of the night,
When the full moon is bright,
Comes the horsehound known as Perro.
This bold renegade
Carves a “P” with his blade,
A “P” that stands for Perro.
Perro, Perro, the whelp so cunning and free,
Perro, Perro, who makes the sign of the P.
He is polite,
But the wicked take flight
When they catch the sight of Perro.
He’s friend of the weak,
And the poor and the meek,
This very unique Señor Perro.
Perro, Perro, the whelp so cunning and free,
Perro, Perro, who makes the sign of the P.
Perro, Perro, Perro, Perro, Perro.
Apologies to: Norman Foster and George Bruns (yes, Bruns ) )
And here are the “Chordettes” on the Saturday Night Beech-Nut Show. April 26, 1958 with their version of “Zorro”
There are apparently several versions of the lyrics.
The “Chordettes” took this to 17 on the charts in 1958.

Jump ahead to 23 seconds if you want to skip Dick Clark’s introduction. I don’t know if that’s Guy Williams as Zorro or not.
And leave us not forget that Señor Perro is…
…a pukka picaresque paladin with panache who causes palpitations in the hearts of pulchritudinous perroñetas everywhere, has never been guilty of paralogism or suffered from paramnesia but perchance may be paranormal in his ability to perceive the presence of plutocrats who pointedly pick the pockets of the people to preserve their positions of power — and turn them pallid as they feel the pampero of perturbation coming to their provinces.
I can’t imagine I’m the only one who’s found this out, but if you haven’t yet tried to see how the little bell with the strike through just to the left of the “Post Comment” button which has a pop-up saying “Notify of new replies to this comment” notifies you…
… it sends an email to the address you used to sign up.
OK, he didn’t actually ride again, cos he rode here on Wednesday…
But it’s figurative… you know…
It’s a way to say his game is on again.
Speaking of which… his sword apparently plays whist. Very sophisticated. But we’ll cross that bridge later.
…
Perro is bold… he challenges Slurez openly and alone!
Openly except for that dinky little mask over his eyes… but I think it’ll be pretty easy for Slurez to recognise him, should he ever see him as Don Doggo.
Or will this be like Superman … another hero of whom Perro will claim no knowledge…. who had me tugging my hair in exasperation, as a child, walking right up to Lois Lane, ace girl reporter, his
only disguise a pair of glasses?
“LOIS!! You idiot,” I would think. I didn’t know which of them was more frustrating… Clark, for risking exposure, or Lois,for not recognising Superman.
The day I got MY glasses, I walked into class and the teacher said “Hi Susan” .. not “Who are you?”
But perhaps I digress…
…
Meanwhile…Perro wields his sword with such amazing skill…
he can totally cut a P in the backside of someone’s pants…
and the center of the top part doesn’t even fall out!
“Perro is bold… he challenges Slurez openly and alone!
Openly except for that dinky little mask over his eyes… but I think it’ll be pretty easy for Slurez to recognise him, should he ever see him as Don Doggo.”
in comic book land, it seems folks who have met both the superhero and the superhero in disguise are completely unable to recognize the same face with a slight masking or more baffling, completely unable to recognize the same voice coming from a slightly altered face.
did that come out right? I’ve barely had a couple sips of coffee so far
I’m going to put all that embedding to bed and just say that until I find a plug-in
that will work on this website to allow video embedding, the best that can be
done is to have a ‘clickable’ link, the only difference being you don’t see the first
frame of that video to give you an idea of what’s coming.
you can always preview the video you’ve provided a link for by saying something like:
this video , if you click on it, will substantially change your life in ways that
cannot possibly be measured.
of course, you can only say that once, and then the trust factor weighs in
It was NOT intended as an insult to C&C. I would never use a pejorative to describe C&C, its penny-pinching producers, its cheapskate cartoonist, or its Evil Queen of … (oops – I forgot what @StillTheBelle is the Evil Queen of).
It was a reference to the fact that in All Things Sherpa, GoComics never does what it says it will do.
(if this is over your head ask @katina.cooper, she’ll explain it for you)

ooh….there’s few wordplay gems in there that I missed the first time I read it. Doh!
“But we’ll cross that bridge later.”: So, I really thought that you were going to circle back to that subject and comment further. Got it on the 2nd go-around. Eyes are rolling at myself.
(note: this comment was in reply to Susan’s review [that starts: “Perro rides again”], way above this one. Somehow, mine ended up way down here.)
Susan’s right. Don’t let the butterflies, flowers, floral belts and crowns, top hats and …….hot dog? distract you from your quest. When you find it, it’s a somewhat disappointing little heart. It’s just a tiny bit bigger than this one ♥, and it’s hollow…just an outline.
I thought for a moment that it was a hot dog, too…
But it’s a banana.
What looks like a yellow bun is the banana, and what looks like the hot dog, on top of it, is a bit of the brown background peeking through, under the lavender (gray?) elephant.
And wow, you’re pretty free with the hints, there.
Perkycat is gonna think you’re nicer than me.
Oh, yeah…….it IS a banana! I should have enlarged it (was too lazy). It’s not the heart, though.
Don’t you think that it warranted a lot of hints? This puzzle was as bad as the Frog one.
And, of course I am the nicer one, Perkycat! You KNOW that’s true. OK, ok….I know that I’m known as the EVIL Queen, but really, I’m as nice as blueberry pie…..all sweetness and good (and, yeah…..a little flaky, too, I guess……)
I just watched the video about Hollywood………….OMG! The drivers were awful, almost hitting pedestrians. And that turquoise Thunderbird turning left and stopping in front of our camera. Yikes! And worse of all…………….SMOOOOG!
I’m still mystified that the center patch of the “P” has not fallen off, as Susan pointed out (and, I hadn’t even thought of until I read her observation).
I have one tiny complaint on the wonderful new format………
I spend too much time here! I have to read and check out the videos and ALL the comments. Then, I delay making breakfast until I’m finished. A good way to loose weight!
LOVE IT! Y’all keep it up.
(oh, is there a way to reply to the videos? or, who posts them? Or does Nighthawks do them?)
the videos that precede the comments are embedded by me and by Stel on Tuesdays
and Thursday….
just comment anywhere in the comments on them…..
I so agree about those ‘who-cares-about-the-pedestrians’ driver in that video. I mean
he crossed right over a crosswalk making pedestrians give him the right of way, because
he had a CAR. apparently in 1953 Hollywood, pedestrians did not have right of way!
Dennis could probably tell you the name of it but I have heard of the
optical illusional effect on the water at night at certain times.It was
one reason the lookouts on the Titanic missed the iceberg until they
were right on top of it

Here’s Wikipedia on Guy Williams

Phew.
I wouldn’t even try to compete with your alliterative comment! I second Liverlips’ comment: “Phew.”
@ Everyone
I can’t imagine I’m the only one who’s found this out, but if you haven’t yet tried to see how the little bell with the strike through just to the left of the “Post Comment” button which has a pop-up saying “Notify of new replies to this comment” notifies you…

It does give you the option of unsubscribing.
Posted at 21:55 hrs. O.C.T.
just found it!
well, I saw it there but never thought much about it.
Yet another option that gocomics doesn’t have
…if you want more email coming in, that is. But, sure, it’s a good option for those that do.
I know it’s been used before, but did Sergeant Garcia just “P” his pants?
@ JP Steve
I would say that Perro épéed on him.
still funny.
The gauntlet has been thrown down, the face slapped, the challenge accepted.
The game is afoot!
Is that an athlete’s foot?
Q: When is a game not a game?
A: When it’s a foot.
My Favorite Partâ„¢ was Whist!
(and then in the next panel)
Whist! Whist!
Friends, I’m telling you, that is comic strip GOLD!
Indeed! We don’t expect any less!
Where the sun don’t shine
Cleomigos y Cleomigas!
Perro rides again!
OK, he didn’t actually ride again, cos he rode here on Wednesday…
But it’s figurative… you know…
It’s a way to say his game is on again.

Mad skillz.
That’s not Slurez who got “P”ed on here – yet.
Of course not!
It says right on top of the strip, that Perro is having his first confrontation “with Slurez’s lancers.”
and he’s not really “challenging” them, but overcoming them…. they’re no challenge to the likes of him..
…
But please read the message he makes them post, at swordpoint…
“Be it known, that Insulto Slurez is a thief and enemy of the people, and cannot long escape my vengeance.”
I’d call that an open and direct challenge.
It’s certainly not sneaky or anonymous… he brought it in person, and dared to sign it in front of those henchmen, risking serious reprisal.
Isn’t that good enough?

SHERPA LIVES?
now, is that an insult to sherpa or an insult to C&C?
pretty sure there’s a cleverly disguised (see what I did there?) insult SOMEwhere in there
It was NOT intended as an insult to C&C. I would never use a pejorative to describe C&C, its penny-pinching producers, its cheapskate cartoonist, or its Evil Queen of … (oops – I forgot what @StillTheBelle is the Evil Queen of).

Tampering…………that’s Evil Queen of Tampering!!!
I think, to start with, you have to buy it a couple of drinks. Then put on some mood music.
I tried that. she still does whatever she wants to do

I love that movie.

I’m just glad somebody got it!
find the ‘HEART’
Still searching!
Susan’s right. Don’t let the butterflies, flowers, floral belts and crowns, top hats and …….hot dog? distract you from your quest. When you find it, it’s a somewhat disappointing little heart. It’s just a tiny bit bigger than this one ♥, and it’s hollow…just an outline.

It’s not true, Perky!
Honest!
Sniffle.
Oh, yeah…….it IS a banana! I should have enlarged it (was too lazy). It’s not the heart, though.

Susan, can I get you a tissue??
Found it… I think.
It’s surprisingly unassuming, Perky, if indeed I found the right one… but I don’t really think there’d be two.
I have no doubt that you found it.
Nighthawks has posted the answer to the elephant/heart puzzle on March 6th.
if C&C, and their cheapskate producers were in charge of special effects in the movies…..
You mean that’s not ‘state-of-the-art’???
.,
I’d think it’s really hard to fight Zorro while balancing a lit candle on your elbow!
OMG!! I was just thinking that, then I read you comment! Just about spit out the water I was drinking!
;,
Beautiful………um…….bird.
Apparently, further bird identification is not my specialty….I’m lucky I got that far.
Kingfisher.
Don’t ask me how he manages that.
Thank you.
Good morning, Cleomigos and Cleomigas! Q Date: 357.98774.64
NATIONAL CHEESE DOODLE and MULTIPLE PERSONALITY DAY
There are a lot more but the other guys won’t let me type ’em.
Will too….you better not…hey he can do whatever he wants…says you
(sigh) Here’s the link for the others> https://nationaldaycalendar.com/what-day-is-it/
Hee heee! Perro pee’d on tubby’s butt.
MINE
Y’all make sure there’s enough Cheese Doodles for everybody in your head. (((((HUGS)))))
once you start doodling on cheese you’ll never get enough
And, that’s enough cheese doodles for you AND Nighthawks!
a fun episode involving the two lovable labs, Olive and Mable
Looks like you’re a full-fledged fan now and even posted one that I hadn’t seen yet! Hilarious! And, the comments there are almost as entertaining.
Thanks for including this today.
I just watched the video about Hollywood………….OMG! The drivers were awful, almost hitting pedestrians. And that turquoise Thunderbird turning left and stopping in front of our camera. Yikes! And worse of all…………….SMOOOOG!
Thanks for posting a look back!
Yes, I enjoyed that. You really took your llife in your hands crossing the street! No police around at that time, I guess.
WOW! Perro is really good! He managed to ‘whist’ through all layers of the Lancer’s clothing and get down to bare skin. Bravo!
I’m still mystified that the center patch of the “P” has not fallen off, as Susan pointed out (and, I hadn’t even thought of until I read her observation).
Clotted blood…
Only one answer needed for two questions. This is getting good!!
I have one tiny complaint on the wonderful new format………
