It the woman was the Kraken, could somebody explain to me why she was upset. The kids and cats were just playing. They weren’t hurting anything. They weren’t breaking anything. They were just being kids and cats playing together.
Whatever flies into that little fuzzy head, Ora Zella takes it on and gives it her all. She’s the poster child of chaotic-neutral, living fearlessly and loving fully.
There was an excellent children’s book we had when the kids were small. The Napping House – by Audrey Wood. Illustrations by Don Wood. The final panel of Georgia’s strip reminded me vividly of that picture book. Marie put away some of our favorite children’s books for possible use when/if we become grandparents.
For some reason all I can think of after reading this is “Nap Time for Borgalorp,” a song from the phonics TV show “Wallykazam” that we watched with our granddaughters 10 plus years ago.
Hello everyone!! The Daily Cartoonist wrote an article on their site today about what I shared this week about the recent restructuring of newspaper comics. It’s a great article and dove a bit further into how this restructuring affected women cartoonists in particular! If you have a chance, check it out and share it where you can! I’m really grateful that they spoke up for me and others like this!

Our brave pirates have found safe harbor on the fluffy blank island! All snuggled and smiling. That’s the life for me!

Many a day on the carpet sea,
There’s none I hold so dear
As the happy day I first became
A fluffy buccaneer!
Pull away me lads o’the Catnip Rose
And hoist the Jolly Roger!

Ora Zella is sleeping on The Boy just like my Gracie sleeps on me! It’s like a living weighted blanket. Very comforting.

They need sun to lay in, as cats are solar charged.
I’m reminded of something I saw in Two Lumps: The Adventures Of Eben and Snooch: I am the captain of the carpet ship!

As I said recently, the “carpet sea” reminds me of a blue kitchen mat that I used as the sea when playing with my Lego pirate ship in the 1970s.

The last Saskatchewan pirate (The Arrogant Worms, 1992)
…And it’s a heave-ho, hi-ho, comin’ down the plains
Stealin’ wheat and barley and all the other grains
It’s a ho-hey, hi-hey farmers bar yer doors
When ya see the Jolly Roger on Regina’s mighty shores
Well, you’d think the local farmers would know that I’m at large
But just the other day I found an unprotected barge
I snuck up right behind them and they were none the wiser,
I rammed their ship and sank it and I stole their fertilizer!

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile
At the Royal Kitchen
Thomios: Thanks for the fish, guys. Just the thing for the fish fry at the fund raiser tomorrow.
Iggy: And Alice and the Gang have plenty of cheese from Where We Know Not.
Sue Chef: Your Uncle Floof sent us plenty of donuts for sweets.
Thomios: Yes. We have powdered sugar donuts, cinnamon donuts, even chocolate frosted. We need something to make a glaze for them.
Enter Queen Bee Titania of the Xanadu Hive
Iggy: Greetings, Your Majesty. May one ask to what we owe the honour of your visit?
Queen Titania: I understand you and the Water Cat Brothers have special plants for our hive.
Iggy: That is so, Your Majesty. Fresh, Salty, and I will bring them to you at once.
Queen Titania: Now, I just heard Chef Thomios’ dilemma. The Ladies and I have the solution.
Thomios: Thank you, Your Majesty.
Sometime Later
Worker Bee Terpsichore (Kira): Here we are, guys! And we have just the thing for your glaze. Ready, Ladies?
