Back in the Day by Eric Scott for October 04, 2023

Every panel is economic, elegant, beautiful. Minimalism at its finest.

Can the cat go faster? Yes. But cats only go as fast as they want!

(This is why cats are in a lot of cartoons, but never create them. Cats don’t do deadlines.)

That’s the local cat. Bird should take the express.

If he goes any faster he will hit the end of the last panel pretty hard. Better not to.

Backtweet driver!

If Cat isn’t fast enough Bird could try walking on his own two feet, comparing similar modes of transportation of course.

It is as fast as I saunter casually as though in ownership of the entire world.

Birdie likes landing on Cats tail…it’s like a spring! Boing, boing, boing! ☺️☺️☺️

If you want to reach your destination quicker, as the crow flies is recommended over as the cat struts.

Cat could always flick you off. Don’t complain. You’re getting a free ride.

Cats don’t go so fast walking on two paws. Be happy you can ride for awhile and rest.

Birdie, better hope he doesn’t ask to see your ticket! :)

Is that a question mark, or is Birdie declaring her landing spot?

Sufferin’ Succotash!

Giddyup!

Funny cuz it’s true. Most birds must wonder why we’re so slow. Not the ones we scrape off our windshields though.

Cat’s bottom is made of springs!
