# The Barker #11 This issue features a carnival/circus-themed story in which a woman at a weight-loss elixir booth attracts a Colonel's attention at a fairground. The Colonel becomes infatuated and pursues her, leading to a chase sequence involving carnival attractions. After winning money at a roulette wheel, the Colonel attempts to impress the woman, but she ultimately rejects him. A male barker character (Chili) helps the woman escape the Colonel's advances, and the story concludes with the Colonel's failed romantic pursuit at the circus grounds.

A Talking Dog Can Bite
12 pp

A talking dog with a gift for gab muscles his way into a carnival circus and quickly discovers he's got the whole operation over a barrel—especially once he figures out he can sweet-talk the other animals into a strike. Written by Gwen Hansen with art by Klaus Nordling, "A Talking Dog Can Bite" is a clever romp about negotiation, leverage, and what happens when a fast-talking canine decides he's worth a lot more than kibble and bones. But when an old acquaintance shows up at a performance, Dodo's newfound leverage suddenly gets a lot more complicated.
