On Further Thought

Ok, the 'volcano' thing was a start. I was driving somewhere today thinking about it and visualizing one of the cats in a box being the volcano, but boxes don't narrow at the top. That got me thinking that perhaps a paper bag mostly crimped at the top would be a good volcano.  Something that two of the cats could do as a setup to startle the other cats.

 

But then........getting the visual of one jumping out automatically brought to mind The Alien, which would make a paper bag be the 'egg', and who better to get facehugged than Marcus by the Siamese.  Hmm.  That seems a funnier strip than just working with boxes.

 

Anyway, that's how my mind works.

Boxes = Volcanos

Damn it's hard coming up with something new.  Been toying with another couple of strips dealing with claw clipping (only did two on that subject in the past) and/or having the black and white large cat come back as a temporary hold while his owner is on vacation (the diabetic kitty).  

 

Then saw mention on Girl Genius about seeding volcanos to destroy a sentient train that eats metal (don't ask, it's a long complicated plot line in that comic - go over to the website and read all about it) and I think THAT idea would work into something given the Walter Mitty tendencies of three of the cats in the strip.  Though I do have to finish the 'origami cat' folding himself into a black hole - where Marcus gets himself stuck in a vertical box too small for him. 

 

Gotta go. Stuff to draw, things to write!
