Absolutely amazing! Just found your comic and going through the archives. Panel 3 is your best work so far. I could not stop laughing.

I've made it all the way through the archive and got to this one without commenting. It's pretty good stuff, especially how much it sounds exactly like the way my friends talk to each other.

But this one was done already. I accuse you of plagiarizing a 1988 "Sylvia" strip, by Nicole Hollander. The "alarm of two cats up-chucking" is both her original idea and amusingly dated, with its 1980s euphemisms.

bill, you surely must be jesting...the entire strip is traced from photographs! isn't that a subtle form of plagiarism? either way, i like the idea of a cat scared and running while puking...it's generally why i like to run the vacuum in the dark...whoever thought of the cat-frightener light on the front of vacuum cleaners was a genius!

Agreed, panel 3 is genius

So we're all in agreement. The artist of this comic should make his cat barfing alarm.

I concur, it would make a great gift for all my cat loving friends...both of them!

No, I think his best idea was his movie pitch about the queen needing tp send out all the remaining nights she had-- middle-aged rockstars and actors.

wow, yeah. I've been reading the archives since I stumbled upon your comic *literally, from stumbleupon.com or something like that* that clock would be highly entertaining, I owned 14 cats at one point and puke could be a problem when they were sick...
but I agree with Someparts...the movie idea was entertaining.

At first, I thought it was a picture of a squirrel playing golf.

So, I've laughed a bunch, going through the archives.
But i believe this was the first time I uncontrollably laughed for an extended period of time. Imagining a cat running away while vomiting strikes my funny bone, it seems.
And yes, the third panel, genius.
