Combining Stargate & CDs

I was watching repeat episodes of Stargate Atlantis the other night.  It was the episode with the exploding tumors (yeah, I know) where their Scottish doctor gets killed on Atlantis.  Explosions were going off around the base and for some reason I had an old memory of one of our cats tipping over a stack of CDs at the old apartment.

Merlin was hell on wheels till he calmed down around age 4. We came to expect things knocked over, moved, pulled apart, scattered, etc.  Well he was sitting next to a large stack of CDs on the desk when I walked in. He was grooming and accidentaly bumped the stack with a shoulder, and the entire stack started to cascade downward like a Slinky going down a stairs----smoothly and with a whole lot of noise.  He watched the entire thing, with a WTF look on his face. Then looked up at me and yelled that he had nothing to do with that.  Loudly.  (He was 1/2 Siamese).  Since I saw how it happened, I agreed with him. 

Anyway -- that got me a comic strip when I merged the two ideas.  

PANEL 1

Marcus sitting in front of a large stack of CD cases.

"Explosive Ordinance Cat evaluates the situation he finds himself in. It is not pretty.  The room has been evacuated in anticipation."

PANEL 2 

Marcus has his paws on the stack.

Owner:   "Marcus, get off the table.  Leave those CDs alone."

Marcus:  "The bomb has previously been primed and ready.  This may be beyond even his skill level."

PANEL 3 

Marcus's tail exiting to the left, 7 CDs flying in the air.

Owner:  "Oh my god....."

Marcus:  "BOOM"

..............as always, if anyone wants to email me I can be reached at falconme@sbcglobal.net...... Thnx!

Plants Are Evil

Marcus never has luck with plants. The orchid beat him up, the others, well, things just don't go well for him.

I did up 4 strips last night with a new plant in the home.  Cats HATE when a door that's normally open is closed (and vice versa, they get immensely interested in a closed door that suddenly is open).  I had the owner close off a room for the express reason of keeping the cats away from a houseplant that was going to be taken in to work on 'Monday'.  Of course that brought up all sorts of speculation about what it was and such.

This series of strips was a riff on the Little Shop of Horrors story. The cats can hear the plant calling to them from the other room and it gets creepier the longer it calls.  They all decide that maybe not opening the door is the best thing under the circumstances. 

......I'm not poisonous......believe me......

Um..... no.

Space Cat Part 2

Apparently Space Cat wasn't through with his adventures in the box. I did up another 3 strips where he goes into his next adventure - delivering a cargo hold full of Nip-Ohnium.  Unfortunately sapce raiders target him and steal his payload but he comes out of the mixup just fine thanks to a containment leak.  

Um... yeah.  It does make sense.
