Crabgrass by Tauhid Bondia for March 24, 2021

Ok, this cracked me up.

Well, that’s stupid!

Heathcliff.

Tom from Tom and Jerry

Mom: “I had twins. I could have left one at the hospital.”

Am I being unfair, or did she only just then realize that couldn’t be the case?

Mind you, I think it’s quite common for the default pronoun for cats to be “she” (if you don’t actually know) and for dogs “he”.

For most of my childhood I thought Nermal was a girl. It was the eyelashes. Also in Garfield and Friends he was voiced by a woman, so that didn’t help me.

Hobbes.

Time to rent ‘Lady and the Tramp’ and ‘The Aristocats’.

Bucky from Get Fuzzy.

Was Lassie a lady?

Elvis, Puck & Lupin from Breaking Cat News are the sweetest boys ever.

Felix the Cat. Of course, this is WAY before these kids’ time.

Oh yeah!

Also Heathcliff…

Lassie….

Silvester the cat… Felix the cat… Bill the Cat… Fat Freddie’s Cat… oh, wait, the kiddies can’t read those comics…

Mr. Jinx on Line Three.

All dogs identify as boys and all cats identify as girls.

Kevin really has some dumb logic.

I’ve read Garfield a few times and never noticed any dangly bits.

I thought the author was trying to make a sex joke at first, but after reading the comments here, I think I was wrong.

Heathcliff.

Still too young for the “talk” – it doesn’t work that way.

I used to think that

someone needs a lesson about the birds and the bees!

I always thought that was true when I was little.

It is quite common for people, and children in particular, to assume dogs are male and cats are female. It’s even a trope: Female Feline, Male Mutt.

Top Cat

Snappy comeback mom!

lmao

I thought the exact same thing growing up.

I’d call it behavioral prejudice, but I wouldn’t call it wrong.

Kevin, sometimes you act like a moron

I was going to Crabgrass, think there was a new strip. Now I remembered that the strips don’t update on Thursdays…silly me!

Lassie

Actually, I have a girl dog and a boy cat :D

I’m gonna have 2 boy dogs tomorrow though…

My dog(s)’s names: Bailey (boy), Kahlua (girl), & ??? (boy POSSIBLY NAMED EZRA :D)

Cat(s)’s names: Mimsy (girl), & Roxas (boy)

It never crossed his mind how they reproduced with only one gender… or has he not had that talk yet?

Technically Lassie…..although also even more technically not

I think of it the opposite…dogs seem female and cats always seem male

Wow. Woooow. Nice one, Kevin. Real smart.

Haha. That’s how I feel, too. And I’m talking about REAL cats and dogs, not cartoons.
