“Inject this food directly into MAH MOUF!” – Lupin

Something tells me Lupin is going to use the self cleaning option!

And look at all those Elvis and Lupin TOEBEANS!

“I’ve learned nothing and you know it!”

See, the difference is that Lupin does it on purpose!

And on a side note, I almost typed “Kupin” because the letters on my tablet keyboard are too small. I just thought you all should know. :P

“He’s got a ticket to slide…He’s got a ticket to slide…and he don’t care”! Gobble it up, Big L.!

Such a happy boy. He is having such fun.

The force(es) of Chaos have a Beef with dinnertime. It’s not often enough!

Thinking with his stomach again.

Lupin looks like a longhair.

As the first two panels make such a wonderful rhyme and reason, I take this as a reason to rhyme, too:

The world is round so I declare

It’s always mealtime somewhere

No matter what is in the can

Gimme all of it, Woman

Be it “Beef” or be it “Beer”

Just pour it down I’m waiting here!

Toebean-palooza! Also a subtle shoutout to Thimblefist!

We’ll see how long that lasts. The lure of food will be too strong, I predict. Also, was the Person holding the can trying to put it in a dish that Lupin blasted out of frame? Hopefully, otherwise they are risking that lovely kitchen floor.

O.T.

OMD: If You Leave

Elvis: If you eat, don’t be greedy

Please steer clear of the can

Promise me just take what’s yours

Then we’ll each have our separate bowls

The Woman knows how much to give us

Please don’t eat to fast

Don’t try to slide in for seconds

We’ve got to—We’ve got to make it last!

…….

Lupin: I slid in once, I’ll slide in twice

I want my food at any price!

I ate before, I’ll eat it again

I’ll have meal before my friends! I will!

…….

Elvis: If you eat, don’t forget

Puck and I must be fed, too

There’s plenty of food to go around,

It isn’t all just for you!

Remember to be dignified,

The Woman will feed us all

Remember you’re a noble cat,

Not Bruce the Shark, who starred in Jaws!

…….

Lupin: I slid in once, I’ll slide in twice

I’ll have my food at any price!

I ate before, I’ll eat it again

I’ll have meal before my friends! I will!

Lupin Toe Beans for the win!

I see Elvis’ head has returned to normal – no more That Guy Brad curl.

You got a smile so bright

You know you could’ve been a candle

When you don’t know wrong from right

You can be a bit hard to handle

The way you slide without your feet

You know you could’ve been a broom

And baby with tricks that sweet

You know you always liven up the room

Well you could’ve done anything that you wanted to

I can tell

The way you do uniquely you

I love the way you do the things you do

- Robert Rogers / William Robinson Jr. – The Way You Do the Things You Do

Why does the human dump the cat food on the floor, instead of putting it in a dish?

I have learned not to dish out the food with the dish on the floor. If the cat is very hungry, its head will block the spoon trying to deliver additional portions.

Some cats meow while begging for food. Colette is so cool, she only gives a brief “thank you” meow as I am setting down the bowl.

…just FYI, one of the more needy juvenile no-life commenters here has been on Big Nate trying to direct other needy juvenile no-life commenters to this strip…it may get eye-rollingly tedious for awhile…

My message from Stevie Wonder to all of my Orb Friends

No Kibble dish

No slice of ham

No sleeping in the sun like a cat from Siam

But what it is

A simple treat

From a friend who wants to send a greet(ing)

I just wrote to say “I love you”

I just wrote to say how much I care

I just wrote to send all the best

And I mean it from the bottom of my heart.

Off-topic – Tank, the orange tabby

I have not seen Tank since he was let out of quarantine and returned to his legally protected home. One of his people works at the nearby hardware store. When I went in to buy 40 pounds of black oil sunflower seeds, he told me Tank is doing very well and no longer has any desire to roam away from the immediate neighborhood.

This is the best possible news. I always had so much anxiety when I didn’t see him during his three-block commuting days because so many things could happen to him and it was wearing him out. Now he is in a secure home where he can get all the food he needs without roaming.

What a smooth entrance! Nice one, Lupin.

All good points… but my curiosity has me wondering… have I missed something the past couple of days that I have been away?!

hehe Lupin

Mr. Puck is going to need help on this job.

Famous last words: “Lupin, no!”

Just saw that release day for “Pucky, Prince of Bacon” (the SIXTH BCN collection!) has been bumped to mid-October. On one hand: boo, publishing is still a mess. On the other hand, hey, now the book starring the black cat has been moved to Hallowe’en month, and this satisfies some fundamental symmetry need in my soul.

OT

I’ve been around a looooong time and have seen chat rooms and comment sites get shut down because of inappropriate behavior when they get tired of policing the ones who disregard the rules.

Has anyone heard from Dawn McCandless since her May 21st post? (This query will get double-posted.)
