This strip is another jarring example (I think) of how far we’ve come since we started EMW in January. When viewed next to the very first strip we put up, it doesn’t even look like the same comic. That’s not to say it’s perfect or that we don’t have a long way to go, because we do- but the undeniable progress is pretty satisfying.
On a completely unrelated note, we have two cats. The female sometimes eats too fast, doesn’t chew, and winds up puking. But she doesn’t just barf once and get it over with. It comes in spurts. So by the time you’ve found the first pile, she’s already around the corner starting on the second pile.
To make matters worse, our male cat’s immediate reaction to the sound of her heaving is: “I HAVE TO EAT THAT NOW!” and off he goes licking it up. He’s also always one pile ahead of me so it’s hard to stop him. Now the piles of kitty puke look just like their kibble (just slimier). I want to reason with the male cat that he has two bowls of regular kibble a few steps from him. He doesn’t need to settle for the vomit glazed variety. But you can’t reason with a cat. You just look like an asshole when you try to.
I just don’t understand his urgency. Is it not as delicious when it’s no longer hot? Does he know he only has precious seconds before I wipe it up? *starts playing Unsolved Mysteries theme* I need to know!
Cats. WTF?
We’ll see you next week!
