This needs an Instagram show of how it was drawn, like when Puck snapped his candy cane (or how The Man created the sophisticated crayon effect on the Robber Mice’s ransom note – by using crayons!)
Artistically speaking, I really like how the water colours stand out in that last panel. You can really see the textures.And of course any reaction from Elvis is always heart warming and funny.
Oh my gingerbread! I’m so going to use that! And poor Elvis…mwahahaha! Sorry dude, but I think you’re getting another cute suit to wear that will be as humiliating as the last one you wore! :D
Now, now, she has to give clothing to each cat for Christmas or else The Yule Cat will come after them. I only learned this yesterday and I have to pass it along. In Iceland, anyone who doesn’t receive new clothing by Christmas will be eaten by the giant Yule Cat. Seriously. https://www.medievalists.net/2019/12/the-yule-cat-of-iceland-a-different-kind-of-christmas-tradition/
Omigosh! This is hilarious! I googled images of cats in pajamas and ended up at this link: https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/lifestyle-buzz/state-department-accidentally-sends-out-very-good-photo-of-cat-in-pajamas/ar-BBOpVHZ.
Robin Harwood! I read this and immediately thought of you: "…the U.S. Embassy in Canberra, Australia, apologized on behalf of the State Department, saying the email was merely a “training error.”
Elvis reminds me of the name I and a largish group of others have for that reaction. There’s a woman—a librarian at a large university in fact—who goes by “Kitten” in the online group “alt.callahans”. She’s known for the same reaction as Elvis above, so that has become “to kitten”. How apropos for Elvis to kitten!
If anyone has ever run across Charlene Butterbean on the internet, I was devastated this morning to find that the grand dame of the Itty Bitty Kitty Committee crossed the rainbow bridge yesterday. All the foster kittens that you trained in the ways of cathood salute you, Miss Butterbean. And all hugs to Wylla Stout who will miss her sister terribly. https://twitter.com/kittycommittee?lang=en
Today is the one year rescue anniversary of the cat (Cole) that we pulled out of the undercarriage of car in a parking lot while Christmas shopping. He is quite talker as if he having a conversation with us and a real sweetheart. He gets along well with the other three although he assumed the alpha role. We are happy he is part of our family!
Off topic – I bought a BCN calendar last year, but have not been able to find one for 2020 yet. Does anyone know if there will be a calendar available?

Is the woman’s computer a “Pear” brand? Excellent spit take art work, much like Pucky’s angry candy cane “snap!” last year.

Because he’s trying to be good for the Christmas season, Elvis didn’t hold in that spit take until he could get to somebody’s shoes.
