Kitty Litter

I really hate to see what the compost pile behind the apartments looks like. Maybe sanitary services has a special bin for bodies? I really hope Gary doesn’t have a recipe that calls for giant spider and/or rust monster.

Anyway, how is everyone doing? This reminds me of the time a large garden spider made a web right in front of the front door, with the center of the web at face height. Anyone else have any fun creepy crawly stories? Let us know in the comments!

Thanks so much for reading! May all your spring cleaning be devoid of animal effluvium!

The Verminators

Cats gonna cat. Ya know?

Around these parts, it’s the time of year where the slugs are out in full bloom and full bowels. They have decided long ago, by some ancient gastropod decree, that the south side of our house is their community toilet. Slugs come from far and wide to use our apparently luxurious facilities. Ah, nature. Anyone else have any fun vermin stories?

Thanks so much for reading! May your day be free of critter based aftermath.

Assistance

Never underestimate the murdering capabilities of cats.

Anyway, how’s everyone’s Ides of March going? Have you set out all the opossum milk for the roving ides marching all over the land so that they’ll pass you by and not harvest your toes and eye lashes? Of course, if you have a cat, they will scare off the ides so you don’t have to bother milking a opossum.

The more you know.

Thanks so much for reading! May all your spring cleaning be relatively devoid of murder!

Kittens Happen

Oh Gary... you see, when a cat lass meets a cat lad... well... you know, this is really something you should ask your parents.

Also, Lord Dinglepuff returns! Huzzah! Now with more Dinglepuffs!

Thanks so much for reading! May all your awkward questions be answered as painlessly as possible.

Bigger Bucket

I think we can all agree a bigger bucket is needed in many situations, not just ones involving giant arachnids.

---

Thanks so much for reading! May all your buckets be sufficiently sized!

Negotiations

Good thing Gary was entirely truthful in his advert. Yup, totally truthful. Not that he was doing anything illegal or anything. Nothing to worry about at all.

Anyway, how’s spider season treating everyone? Have you figured out which spider you’re dressing up as for Spidereen? Are you all done decking the halls with webs and egg sacks? Any fun arachnid parties planned? Or maybe you’re one to cozy up at home, snacking on all the candy flies yourself instead of handing them out to the adorable eight legged trick-or-treaters? Let us know in the comments!

---

Thanks so much for reading! May all your body remain full of its vital liquids and not encased in a silken tomb!

[over-encumbered]

Timing

Doors have locks for reasons. Gary should probably figure that out at some point.

Did you all have a lovely solar eclipse day on Monday? Pretty snazzy the sun and the moon and shadows. Yup. Snazzy.

Thanks so much for reading! May you always remember to lock your door when involved in questionable activities!

First Impressions

There is nothing dignified about removing a chicken from one’s head. I’m sure the chicken feels the same way.

At any rate... hello! It’s been a while I know. As I was finalizing the script for this season and starting next season’s scripts, I realized a new tenant was going to join the group. And of course the new character needed to be designed. Anyway! We are back on track now. There are a couple more comics before we move on to the next season and a new story arc. 

Have you ever started one thing only to fall down a whoops-there-seems-to-be-a-lot-of-prerequisites-to-this-project hole? Let us know in the comments!

Thanks so much for reading! May you never have to explain to a stranger why you are removing a chicken from a person’s head!

Legalitea

Something tells me Gary’s pseudo people pie recipe isn’t FDA approved. Just a hunch. Maybe Harriet will finally get that rooster removed.

Thanks so much for reading! May all your questionable cooking choices remain hidden from the authorities.

Bawked Landing

 🐔 Well, at least Harriet is back home. Also, everyone appears to have their own original body parts which is always good after one teleports.

---

Thanks so much for reading! May all your landings be flawless and not involve getting crushed by giant garlic.

[over-encumbered]

Killportation

I don’t blame Harriet for not trusting chicken based teleportation techmagicology. I mean, are there any health and safety regulations? Will Harriet be plagued with teleportation induced quantum shingles when she’s elderly? Will she suffer from phase-shifted dreams?

What I’m trying to say is that one should never trust chickens, no matter how honorable their intentions.

---

Thanks for reading! May you never suffer from phase-shifted dreams nor quantum shingles.

Grrlick Bites

Almost there, Harriet! Just one more ingredient to go for Gary’s pie! 

---

Thanks so much for reading! May all your garlic be significantly less bitey.

Just One More

Poor Harriet’s been having quite the day. Who knew making a pie could be so hazardous? Also, AAAAHHHH!!! It’s the 100th comic! I made it extra big and epic just for you.

::stares into your soul::

Yes. YOU. 

The original shopping list the chickens are tasked to find is from this comic.

In other news, HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2016 has been, well, let’s just say less than ideal on many fronts. How was your year? Read any fun books, discover excellent games, or just something nice that you’d like to share? Let us know in the comments!

Thanks so much for reading! May your new year be as delicious as warm kitten tears.

*BOOP*

Phew. Good thing nobody panicked. Everything is fine now. Totally fine.

Yep.

Fine.

*stares into the abyss*

Fiiiinnnneee.

In other news, two color comics in a row. Weird. Oh hey! This happens to be comic #99. Neat, eh? Which means next comic is #100. Math! It’s amazing! Also, since that’s such a tidy number I might have something a little extra special planned.

Thanks so much for reading! May all your text messages never be murder inquiries.

Yaktubers

I know that feeling. People call at the most inconvenient times. 

I love the Yaktube. The cat videos there are the best. And there’s this one Yaktuber that makes videos of...

*checks notes*

YOUtube. 

Ah. 

Well. 

*coughs*

Right.

ANYWAY, how are you? Is everyone surviving the season? Eating lots of squash based pies?

---

Thanks so much for reading. May you be free of vegetable maulings.

Otterly Insensitive

Pretty, shiny fur. So soft. So pretty. 

It’s always interesting when you find out something new an amazing about your friends.

In unrelated news, con crud is still the worst. Double con crud is the double worst. That is all.

Thanks so much for reading! May your friends be ever amazing.
