Defeating the U.F.O. Invasion!

February 28, 2018 ~ TailsFromTheBackyard

The Fluffy One pops the balloon that the Spider was using to get around. The Slinky One asks if it's a leap year because his bro leaped for the balloon. The Puppy tries to get into the house but no one answers. As the Fluffy One comments that he never knows where the humans are, I can be seen on the ground in the distance.

Ah well, back to the day-to-day.

Time flies, but there’s a flame and maybe some fish involved.

I comment that the Olympics flew by, and the Puppy replies that time flies when you're stalking your heroes. The Slinky One lands his snowboard on my head and declares the Olympic flame lives in everyone. The Fluffy One agrees and gives and speech about being inspired to do better things and get fast and high and maybe get some fish.

By now I’m probably wiped out on sports and inspiration, but I had fun doing these and I hope you all had fun reading them. No idea what stories are going to come from the actual Olympics, but if the finale is anything like this I WIN.

Tobaggans!

The Puppy tells me they're letting women do Tobaggan, so she wants to win medals so Lars will be her fan. I don't understand but I jump on a sled with her and it's all very Calvin and Hobbes.

My Mum heard they’re doing Toboggan. I have no idea what she was telling me, maybe by now I’ve seen it.

It’s my Mum’s birthday!

Happy Birthday Mum!

The Puppy announces officials are chasing her because she wasn't supposed to be on the ice with Lars. The Spider tells me to make like Elsa and let the mascot go. I ask where my baby cat sons are and the Ninja Twins fly over on snowboards, saying they snow the way home and also how to do tricks.

How’s Your Olympics Going?

February 19, 2018 ~ TailsFromTheBackyard

The Spider asks the Ninja Twins how their Olympics are going, The Slinky One mentions they were suspended. The Fluffy One insists they will be vindicated, and then suggests I may need legal aid, because I'm hugging the Olympic mascot.

You know I drew all of these and then found out a friend’s daughter was going to be at the Olympics? I made an offhand comment that she should hug the mascot for me, and I swear a few days later she posted a selfie with Soohorang. It made me super happy.

Baby Black Panthers!

February 16, 2018 ~ TailsFromTheBackyard

The Ninja twins declare they are going to skate from selections from the movie Black Panther. The Slinky One is dressed as T'Challa, The Fluffy One is dressed as Zuri, keeper of the heart-shaped herb. The Fluffy One admits to bringing catnip and while he wants to leap a lot at the halfway mark for maximum points, The Slinky One is getting cold and wants to go see the Black Panther movie.

My sons are very excited for the Black Panther movie, and so am I.

Oh hey, Lars!

February 14, 2018 ~ TailsFromTheBackyard

The Puppy catches up with Lars the Norwegian Elkhound at the curling sheet. She has a one-sided chat with him, and when he notices her, he says he is glad they're still living. So am I, bub.

Lars! You remember Lars, don’t you?

(I haven’t migrated the strips over from the other site but he showed up in 2010 and again in 2012.)

He’s a Norwegian Elkhound, so he speaks Norwegian, but he’s glad he and the Puppy are still living, and so am I. Apparently he’s realized his dream of joining the Norwegian curling team. This has been our Valentine’s day episode, thank you and goodnight.

Does this make them…bobcats? Oh ho ho!

The Fluffy One finds a luge and tells his brother to bring bowls to wear on their heads for protection. He then directs his bro to lean away from the wall to make the sled go faster. The Slinky One smiles and purrs, because that's what he does.

I know, it’s a luge. Lugecats sounds gross, though.

KITTY!

February 9, 2018 ~ TailsFromTheBackyard

I spot the tiger mascot for the Olympics and chase him over the finish line of a ski run. I ask the Spider if I won, he is racing past warning me to run.

Voted most likely to be arrested trying to hug a sports mascot, 30 years running!

Hello, Soohorang!

February 7, 2018 ~ TailsFromTheBackyard

We arrive at the Olympics, I worry about photographing the wrong thing, The Spider tells the mascot Soohorang he's got a girl for him.

Imagine my surprise when I found out the Olympic mascot was a white tiger.

I can’t get away from tigers, can I?

We’re Going to the Olympics!

February 5, 2018 ~ TailsFromTheBackyard

The cats tell me I've been acting weird so we're going to the Olympics. I freak out about going, and then I freak out about how to get there. The Fluffy One throws a pencil at me.

Yay, comics about the Olympics!

Say Hello For Me.

February 2, 2018 ~ TailsFromTheBackyard

I have a one-sided conversation with a cardinal. As you do.

I say hello every time…just in case.
