The Slinky One – Tails From the Backyard

Too Soon

The Fluffy One approaches a tuxedo cat at a window, looking out at a tabby on a table. He asks, "Hello little girl! What is up with you and the outdoor man?" The tuxedo cat tells him, "Our brother died, he led us to this place, we're safe because of him." The Fluffy One replies, "Indeed, I too lost a brother, it is very sad." In the third panel, a ginger tabby in a tree yells, "Hey, I got my balls back!" while a small tuxedo kitten says to The Slinky One, "He's my uncle!" The Slinky One says, "We weren't expecting you so soon, but okay!" lounging around a green field are M'Man and Uncle Grandpa, as well a tabby and a grey tuxedo blissfully checking out some flowers.

If I had kept up with my comic the past two years, you would know a lot more about this golden man, but I’m planning to fill in the blanks eventually. His name was Oscar Cornbread and he was my Peachy Pie Mango Man, leader of the Ginger Gang, uncle to the Tuxedo boys, andContinue reading “Too Soon”

We beat Spielberg to it!

Hey, how have you all been? Going to the movies this weekend? We’re all super, can’t wait to show you our new adventures. I don’t go out to the movies because I like watching movies with my dog and cats. Apologies to Stephen Sondheim for mangling his lyrics, HE KNOWS NOW.

Wakanda Forever

A flashback to 2018 in honor of the king. This year is so cruel it now took Chadwick Boseman and I can’t deal with that. He’s younger than me, for one thing. My heart goes out to his family and all the kids who saw T’Challa and believed they could do anything. That part ofContinue reading “Wakanda Forever”

What We Did On Our Summer Vacation, Part 1 of 7

Cats know how to have a good time. Hello, how have you all been? This is the comic you’ve waited over a month for, and I haven’t worked out the layout yet, but wait, did I just make a comic about kittens in the afterlife? That’s not funny. STOP SPEEDING DOWN STREETS. The rest ofContinue reading “What We Did On Our Summer Vacation, Part 1 of 7”

Summer Is The Time To Relax!

There’s a lot going on here, and I do want to make comics about all of it, well, not all of it, but I want to make sure my Mum can see them and she’s in the hospital fighting off Legionella pneumonia right now so I just don’t really feel like going HAHA LET’S COLORContinue reading “Summer Is The Time To Relax!”

Happy Birthday, Babe

Babycat is sandwiched between The Fluffy One and the spirit of The Slinky One. "Happy Birthday to you and your brother's spirit, babe! Older men are the best! Let's nap!" The spirit of The Slinky One purrs while The Fluffy One says, "Indeed, you too are the delight, you may share the tuna of celebration with me!" "Oh thanks! My birthday is around now, and my gotcha day is coming up, too!" Babycat continues as The Puppy rolls her eyes and says, "I mean, really, nobody called it a gotcha day when I was a puppy. Whatevers, I has a boyfriend and he's making a weird noise in my ear. That's cute!" The Kitten purrs as he licks The Puppy's ear, his tail making the shape of a heart.

Who knew they’d all end up being friends? Tonight we bust out the good tuna for The Fluffy One, who totally has a girllllllfriiiiiiiiend! Everything they do is my dream come true and I’m lucky that I get to watch them be adorable together. And yes, these two are…something. April is packed with furry holidays,Continue reading “Happy Birthday, Babe”

Sticking Around

The Fluffy One’s always been a fan of sticks. Other cats can have the ribbons and feathers and squeaky chirpy things, he knows where the action’s at. This week his sweet nephew discovered the magic of sticks and was hooked. I said, “What have I done?” a few times as I searched for a placeContinue reading “Sticking Around”

A Tiny Tree Appears!

Fingers crossed he doesn’t eat the things.

Happy Thanksgiving!

From all of us to all of you, raising a bit of whatever creamy whip you prefer for absent friends. As always, thanks for reading!

Medical Advice

How does this fit into Thanksgiving? I am thankful for steroids, y’all. (BTW I didn’t write The Kitten’s line, my Poppy said something like that to my Nan and they got married on this date and had darn near 30 awesome years together. 🥂)

It’s a Great Thing!

The Fluffy One is climbing the couch to get to his window pillow. The Kitten is sleeping on the pillow and says, "Uncle, I am here." As The Fluffy One settles down on the pillow with the Kitten, he tells him, "Yes, yes, I used to do this all of the time with me bro." The Kitten says, "Wow, it must be great to have a bro." As The Kitten purrs with his chin on The Fluffy One's back, The Fluffy One says, "Indeed." On the wall, there's a picture of The Slinky One licking The Fluffy One with his arm around him.

If two cats ever needed each other, more…well, maybe Captain Tinycat should be included in that. But these two. I’ve already informed the vet he has to keep The Fluffy One alive another 20 years for The Kitten to have his Uncle Fluff at all times. I can only imagine how epic having TWO unclesContinue reading “It’s a Great Thing!”
