Here's hoping I'm not going to jinx things up again. Every time I do a strip about a vet trip, we have an emergency vet trip with one of our cats... Every strip I did about fleas had fleas show up at our place and we needed to treat the cats with Advantage. *sigh*
I've brought back 'fleas' to the comic strip. A hoard of them descend on the house courtesy of the outdoor squirrels and the ability of fleas to get through window screen mesh. They bounce everywhere, and the Siamese can't take it too well. The others are fairly stoic. It's up to three strips (3-4 panels each) and I think I have two more strips in me on the subject before I 'kill off' the infestation in the story.
