Superheroes

We goof around with our cats, even taking pajamas and tying them on as 'capes' around the neck, which one of ours is perfectly comfortable walking around in for several hours (he liked how it reflected the body heat apparently, curled up and went to sleep with it).  I don't do it often though, don't worry.

That sparked an idea about Marcus trying out a superhero personna, which of course had two of the little guys joining in and, in the normal course of discussion, took ALL the fun out of it for him.  It came to nine strips before I got to an ending.  I even gave a nod to Dr. Horrible's Sing Along.  Ha! 

It was fun doing this one up.

ARGH

Jake’s still eating his pulled out fur clumps.  Gross.  He’s been doing this since June and I try to get to him fast when I see him grimacing with the stuff on his mouth but he slurps them in like spaghetti when I get too close.  Only way to make him hesitate is to scruff him…. and he’s getting wise to the lunge and grab.   Cats….

I'm still getting the strips redrawn, they're going fairly smoothly (the backlog is tremendous!).  Whenever I get 80 strips done I'll print them up in booklet format and have another issue available.

TV References

Sometimes being funny means you reference a TV show now and then.  I’m hoping enough people watch Dr. Who and know Star Trek to ‘get’ the 4 strips I did the other day.  If they don’t know River Song or Amy Pond or what a Dalek is, or some of the quotable lines the Doctor has said over the past few years, well those four strips may not make much sense.  But I had to do them, they were a natural outgrowth from the Harry Potter strips I just finished before them.

If you don’t watch those shows, then sorry folks.  Just move on to the next ones.
