I’ve been wondering if this would turn out to be a, um, space heater-side story or real events. Turns out it’s both!I’m still trying to figure out if Lupin is unaffected cause he’s deaf or because he’s not REALLY an adult. I’m probably over thinking it, but the kids’ hearing would be better than the adults. Not sure at what age feline hearing peaks, but for humans it is around 10-12 years. So I would tend to think the kittens would have better hearing than the adults, so it would be something they CAN hear keeping them sane…. But then there’s Lupin…. I’m over-thinking this, aren’t I?
I can only imagine the combined story-telling style of Lupin and Ora Zella, constantly interrupting each other…. and poor Iggy wouldn’t be able to get a word in edgewise!
Lupin the “calm and rational voice of reason”…those are some words I never thought I’d hear. I love the telling of this “the truth is way stranger than fiction” tale around the space heater!
Lupin, in any fireside story, you have to keep things within believable limits. Zombie cats, fine. Killer roombas from space? A-OK. You as the calm and rational voice of reason? One step too far…

But it wasn’t a dream. It was a place! And you, and you, and you, and you were there! But you couldn’t have been, could you?

Oh, good! Maybe I got my wish from yesterday and there are no recordings of this event. Plausible deniability can save Elvis’ dignity!

Tortimer has survived, it appears, as he is next to Iggy with a single yellow card on him, like those Iggy was using to decode the alien message.

Lupin, the calm and rational voice of reason. That alone is enough to make me think it’s a total fantasy!

I’m going to miss wonky-eyed Elvis. He seems more mellow when his volume setting isn’t turned up to eleven.

What? All this just a tale? There never was steenky robot aliens from outer space? Certainly not what the alien astronut theorists was gonna suggest.

I love the look of happiness on Elvis’s face in panel 6. Another giveaway that this story didn’t happen.
