Somebody’s not a hyena lover (at the risk of stating the obvious).

The strip menagerie so far included fighting roosters, stealing crows, typing chimpanzees, alcoholic chihuahuas and tabagist cats. We lacked just the hyena, right?

Call Harley Quinn. She’ll give her a good home.

Oh, and I forgot Mr Crime’s barracuda!

I tell you one thing, this Lena’s a lot better looking than that other Lena the Hyena. LOL

@FinkdWhy not?

okay so “hyena” wasn’t just a figure of speech…

That poor girl seems to have a broken tongue

A day or two back, Sprocket’s tongue was hanging out of the other side of her mouth. I wonder how she broke it. (I would discourage speculation here.) I am sure our resident expert (read that ‘know-it-all’) will have a medical opinion on the condition since he most likely spent 18 years in Med School.

I bet Lena can’t stand Sprocket, either! Makes them even. BTW, are those Lena’s claws on the doggie dish? Or, Sprockets nails that came unglued?

Lena looks mean, and ravenous enough to dispose of an inconvenient body from time to time…. Villains in shades should look glamorous, but not these siblings….

Good morning from frigid Southern Maryland…

OK…so it isn’t Basil Wolverton’s Lena the Hyena. That’s a relief.

Is Sprocket’s tongue supposed to be some sort of tribute to Miley Cyrus?

Silver is Uncle Duke Doonesbury with a wig….

Man-o-man I like Lena, wow an awesome double cool well drawn hyena ! I do not think I’d put my bear dog up against her! My bear dog (Lulu is not my avatar, that’s Monty) is one tough son-of-a-gun too.

What is that on the right side of Lena’s dish in panel three ?

Yes.

Be careful Sprocket! Lena looks a little hungry!
