The Big Picture by Lennie Peterson for April 23, 2020

OK, Lennie; I found Ginger. The universe may continue…

Easy.

What does it tell us? That we are more related to cats than dogs, or visa versa? Cats are more independent, intelligent than dogs and that we are more more cat-like?

I like the way that Ginger is keeping her distance on the trailing edge of the last panel.

Stay home, social distance, wash often, get plenty of rest—a cat’s life. What is it they say about herding cats? Herd mentality not a problem.

As everyone knows, it’s hard to herd cats.

And, to bring this up to date – 2 housecats whose caretakers had the virus have now tested positive in NY.

Is that gray cat one of Ginger’s relatives?

I like Homeslice’s snazzy new bow tie. It lends a nice touch of nerdy gravitas to his edict.

Looks like my house, but no hairless wonder!

The ‘herd’ is protecting me while makig sure they are protected as well. So comforting to have their unconditional love – well as long as food is available it is unconditional.
