Reasons To Be Thankful.

The new Harry Styles song Lights Up is some jazzy stuff, but purring is an awesome sound.

TRICK OR TREAT!

Well, my hands have fallen off from making this, so have a Happy Halloween and be careful crossing the streets. I wouldn’t want to have to bury you, you know.

They Are A Fantastic Four….

Yes, really. Play safe in outer space, kids!

I know, I know, ant season is almost over. This is where 16 years of going outties with The Fluffy One and his bro bite me in the ass, because every day and every night, Team Tiger is like, “That’s a great idea, let us join you!” and they don’t like wearing collars, or harnesses,Continue reading “Hold On To Your Potatoes!”

Seven Brides for One Brother

Basically I’m just doing these to amuse myself now. I know most of them could defeat me in a dance battle, even if I am good at building things.

What Have We Here?

Here I was posting the Star Wars-themed one on Carrie Fisher’s birthday and I hear there’s a new trailer for Episode IX I gotta see. How about that. We have to wait for December for the new movie, but you only have to wait ten more days to see what costumes the gang will actuallyContinue reading “What Have We Here?”

Time To Fly

In a nod to Blade Runner, The Slinky One sits on a roof with a dove. He says, "I seen things you wouldn't believe. I been through the desert on a horse with no name, I took my horse wherever my horse wanted to go, now I'm gonna let this bird fly off and watch it while I sit in the rain. It's all gonna get lost like smells in rain, you know?" The bird coos. "Okay, time to fly," The Slinky One says. In the corner there's a hand holding an origami unicorn. In the background, the Spider, carrying a cane and wearing a moustache and goatee, hangs near a police spinner in the rain and says, "It's too bad they won't live...but then again, who does?"

Last year I was like, “OMG, next year is 2019? BLADE RUNNER HALLOWEEN THEME!” The whole month was going to be a drunk history version of the movie. And then actual 2019 happened, so you get a week, but you get this one how I planned it last year. Maybe a little fancier than IContinue reading “Time To Fly”

Do Spiders Dream Of Spider-Sheep?

Hey, doesn’t everyone have a memory like that? That doesn’t mean we’re Replicants, let’s just have a drink.

Do You Like Our Owl?

I know what you’re asking, “Lynda, Blade Runner was set in November, 2019, why are you doing this in October?” Oh, that’s not what you were asking? Okay.

Wouldn’t It Be Loverly?

In a takeoff of My Fair Lady, Babycat is wearing a straw hat and in standing next to a basket of violets and a bunch of violets laying on the ground. She sings, "All I want is a room somewhere, far away from the cold night air, with one enormous chair...." The Ninja Twins are standing off to the side. The Slinky One is wearing a top hat and tails. "I bet you could make a lady out of that dame!" he says to The Fluffy One, who is wearing a Homburg and trenchcoat. "No, no, no, no...," says The Fluffy One. "I'm a good girl, I am!" Babycat says, glaring at them from her violets. Babycat wakes from her dream, purring in an enormous desk chair, with her kitten's head resting on her knee.

The Kitten is five months old today, and he and his mom have all chairs forever. Fun fact: One cold and rainy night in 2018, I lured Babycat into the house. The Slinky One was sitting on the stairs, watching as Babycat bounced off the walls. As she ran past him, he went to goContinue reading “Wouldn’t It Be Loverly?”

The Horror!

I can’t say I regret telling her I’d take her for walkies if she lets me put on a harness until the day she actually lets me, then I guess I have to be prepared to learn to climb trees. WHO IS MORE FREAKED OUT BY THIS? Windows are awesome!

And Now For Something Completely Different.

I got my head stuck in a cupboard and couldn’t make it to London for the record number of people dressed as Gumbies, but you know I was there in spirit. Happy 50th, Monty Python. Thanks for making me laugh when bits of brain fell out of my head.

Who Wants to Play Dress Up?!

Yesssssss, it’s Halloween o’clock! You know I dress them up…right? THEY LOVE IT! Okay, maybe he doesn’t love it, but I took the costume right off!

Business.

I'm all twisted up, fiddling with my phone. On my shirt is the word PLANS. The Spider asks, "Is this the fundraiser?" "Yeah, I have no marketing skills whatsoever," I reply. "As it turns out, I have 9 readers and I feel weird taking money from people I know." "But that's been your business model for the past 30 years!" The Spider points out. "By the way, I left you some webs to vacuum. Wild party." The Spider continues, "What about those designs you were making? You need to set a schedule and stick to it! Start a little earlier if you have to! I mean, really, what have you been doing?" I look right at the camera. In the last panel, the Spider has dozed off on my list of things I've been doing. "...once the headache wore off, I finished the door so the basement wouldn't get wet anymore, then I was up at 7AM for the cat's vet, and I still had to caulk the foundation, but then...."

But then I got the flu. No, really. In September. Who does that? The person I caught it from, I guess, but WHO DOES THAT? You know I wash my hands, this is a travesty. Anyway, I was going to go, “Who wants mugs and notebooks that say ‘PLANS!’” and you were all going toContinue reading “Business.”

Making a Difference!

What a business cat!
