    I mean, of the two ends the moles could have air coming out of, a hiss is probably the less-rude option.

    I’ve heard a ‘possum hiss, but I’ve never heard a mole hiss.

    Is the mole in panel 3 one of the other moles or did the first mole lose their hat?

    I did not know that moles hiss. Of course, the only ones that I have any experience with were dug out of the ground by our hunter cat.

    They were no longer terribly communicative.

    Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

    Talpi Mole: Thanks for the use of the round potatoes. Best game of Lawn Potatoes ever.

    Trevor-Hotep: Glad they worked out. They also make delicious potato salad.

    Talpi: Eating potatoes? Who’d a thunk?

    Thomios: I put an extra shrimp on the barbie for you, Bill.

    Bill Platypus: Much obliged, mate.

    Serfig-Aro: The food is ready! Everyone line up!

    Puckmosis: I like the concept of the hot dog. I think I’ll try one for a new experience.

    Thomios: Strange. I thought I’d grilled more hot dogs.

    Ora Z: You did.

    Pink house is a very, very, very fine house

    With ten moles in the yard

    Though greeting them is hard

    No, interviews aren’t easy ‘cause they’re rude

    Bea waits

    La-la, la-la-la-la-la

    La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la

    La-la-la-la-la-la-la

    La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

    La-la, la-la-la-la-la

    La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la

    La-la-la-la-la-la-la

    She’s a spitfire

    While they hiss and glower in her face

    Oh, moles, not today

    I wonder if Bea can out-hiss the moles.

    OT: Smudge and the kittens

    Smudge has been keeping his distance so far. Yesterday he sauntered into the living room and hopped up on the window sill. He dozed off, lost his balance and fell into a tangle of sleeping kittens. A general hissing match ensued. Who woulda thunk month old kittens could hiss that loud?

    I did not know they hisss. Maybe, because they don’t see very well, that is a defensive mechanism. Or they are just annoyed at being disturbed. Not only is this cartoon entertaining but educational as well.

    I’ve never seen a mole, so I had to look that up. Not only do they hiss, they can get up to 20cm/8" long. I had no idea they were so big.

    if they didn’t have miniature Wolverine claws, they would be (over)due for a butt-kicking.

    Georgia’s talent shines in all things from the colorful, detail-filled peep-frog summer dance panel to this strip with simple lines providing eyebrow expressions for Lupin. I love her creativity! BCN is a great start to my day. :-)

    I looked up moles and discovered they eat worms and insects. It’s very rare they’ll eat plant roots but of course they cause damage going after the worms. Robin, I also learned that Australia has a marsupial mole!

    At the refuge I used to volunteer at we called owls “cat swallowers” as the hissed too. We would joke with tours that they were in as the cat they had swallowed was a bit angry. :D

    Boy, I have been really lax in noticing toebeans lately. I don’t notice until someone mentions them in the comments. Am I somehow cured of the toebean addiction? I still EEE! when I see them, but I just can’t see them until someone else points them out. Do I need counseling? Toebeans Anonymous to get back my addiction?

    They hiss when they spring a leak from kitty and dog teeth. I can’t count the number of mole and vole “presents” I have received over the years. I appreciate them because it means way less ankle breaking hazards in the yard.
