Spud is just a cat with a big head. A really really really big head

Looks like Seagull got a crewcut in last panel. He flattened his head feathers.

“You’ll always be ‘Spanky’ to me, Fred. Anyway, sew a mitten onto a futon and button it.”

On leather? And when you wake up, it will be fused to you skin!

Seagull: a futon, hmmm.

Spud can play deep, DEEP left field for the Giants.

And if Dad has to keep getting his name wrong, maybe try and get him to use “Bud”, as in Bud Harrelson. Solid baseball name.

“Hi! I am Spud Sama, the samurai warrior, I’d like to order a futon”

Shirley, you can’t be serious…

How about an old-timey bean bag chair in the shape of a catcher’s mitt?

“Spanky”?? Either Dad just likes to mess with Spud, or he genuinely forgets Spud’s name all the time. Hard to tell since he has a straight face when he says “Spanky’s” name…

I scored a nice, comfy futon off FB Marketplace, just before a friend arrived to spend the week with me. And yes, the cats love it, too!

And you could keep your jammies in the hand hole.

Apparently, Seagull likes the idea, too.

Bring it on!!!!!

Spanky … rhymes with hanky!? The way he’s going Mr Harry is going to get this strip an R-rating.

Practice? Are you serious?

Not exactly eye of the tiger material.

No, a beanbag!

Spud, you probably want a catcher’s futon.

You’re giving the boy ideas now.. you need to be clear on the rules about, umm mattresses on the field during a game. Spanky! LOL!! It’s a good thing I didn’t have any tea in my mouth at the moment.

There are no futons in baseball!

Ha! Spanky! That’s one of the best I’ve heard from Dad.

Can anyone give directions on how to edit the order of my comics please

My favorite running gag in this strip is Mr. MacLellan’s different names for Spud. Banjo was a great one, Spanky is pretty good too! :-D

Or a beanbag.

This is why kids need adult guidance: otherwise they drift into impractical schemes.

“spanky”

Spud might need help getting out that mitt.

Have you noticed that you never see Spud’s profile

There may be something to it. You don’t see cats—tiring themselves out or waiting around bored—playing baseball. Life, liberty, and the quest for comfort are more important.

“Alfalfa” is an even better name. Is Dad old enough to know who the ol’ “Our gang” characters were?

A glove-shaped futon, sir?
