    Francis taking advantage of Nate’s fear, how @#£%* lovely of him, what a good friend.

    Okay this is a pretty good one.

    I’ve said this before but at this point I like the Sunday strips better than the actual arcs.

    I know this is meant to be funny and silly and lighthearted…

    But this isn’t. By no means is this funny or silly or lighthearted imo, actually. Being a little afraid of something is one thing- having a phobia of it is more than another

    I’ve never understood why Nate’s ailurophobia is always treated with such mockery, dismissiveness, and borderline cruelty. His phobia is a direct response to a traumatic attack he encountered as a child with a cat. Some outside the strip (let alone in it, as clearly seen here) mock that, discredit that as “not traumatic enough” or “too stupid/childish” to have created a real, traumatic-rooted phobia. But his body’s that was very, very real- and I hc it’s multifaceted.

    I actually dive into that deeper into a fic I have planned. Nate gets the proper exposed therapy he needs to help him cope with this very real fear- and, ironically, even threatens to leave Francis behind if he doesn’t cooperate/continues to try and mock him

    What a Cat-astrophe if only he had a Cat-apult to get rid of him. Of course he’d have to Cat-ch him first. Ok I’m done.

    There’s a reason why a cat is nicknamed the King of the Jungle.

    (Yes, I am aware lions live in the savanna. It’s a misnomer nickname)

    …..way back, when I was this creepy ‘lil kid, there was a HUGE fallen tree trunk that about 20+ of us guys would play “king of”…….we’d line up end-to-end, and you’d wrestle with whoever you met in the center to stay on the tree trunk……nobody thought of a trick like playing on someone’s animal fears then……we were all “brute strength, force & ignorance” types then….amazing that nobody got seriously hurt, THAT was usually the dark, largely unspoken phantom lurking in us Cold War era kids………

    This is why Kings always keep a can of cat repellent in their back pocket.

    6/10, an actually funny joke, but Francis bringing Pickles ruins it. He should not have brought her, but if she came by herself, it would be fine. Maybe this foreshadows Nate threatening to leave Francis if he keeps bullying him like this.

    You didn’t hear Nate when he EXPLICITLY SAID NO ANIMALS ALLOWED? What’s wrong with the people of this comic? Where has my childhood gone towards? Why can’t I read this strip and laugh out loud anymore instead of criticizing it?!

    Strip rating: 0/10 Sigh…

    That was horrible of Francis. He’s done that so many times, but this is probably the most frustratingly passive aggressive one. I swear, I have had it up to HERE with that idiot, and Teddy honestly isn’t much better. You know what, I’m just gonna say it, Nate needs to dump these guys and get better friends.

    the francis torturing nate joke is starting to become annoying just cruel francis knows nate has ailurophobia and instead of helping him through it he uses it for personal gain

    Pierce, what is wrong with you? Making everyone hate each other IS NOT FUNNY. Plus, taking advantage of someone’s phobia is not slapstick, it’s cruelty. I have a phobia as well, and I could understand how nate would feel if he were a real person. Betrayed by his “best friend”.

    Francis has gotten worse and worse. Using your best friends phobia to win a game/ prove a point is a dirtbag thing to do.
