Hopefully that’s not one of the liver pills Doc prescribed for Walt back in 1957, which have been sitting in the side table drawer all these years…

Hokay, there’s a two-part classics update for the 9th which was just posted… PLUS a four-part update for the 8th that went up about five hours ago…

AND in case you missed something, you might scroll all the way back to the updates for the 6th, which is when the schedule got fouled up. Luckily, no one was killed. This time.

So again, a two part classics update for the 9th – which gets the railroad back on time:

Our Starr shows up in her own strip for a change, and she shows up at Puffmore’s to talk to Nevera. Billow isn’t speaking to her, because you never go against the family when it comes to business.

Big Shot Wilmer Bobble stops by the garage at the height of the gas shortages, ignores the NO GAS TODAY sign, and brushes off “the fat kid” to get to the man with the juice, who can fill up his luxury car, probably so he can drive out to his exclusive country club. A battle of half-wits seems inevitable here.

Air head cat only hears the word “treat”.

Can’t help but feel there’s something sinister in Mee-Meow’s eyes. Like she wants bigger game than mice!

Perhaps if you did not feed him/her/it, the cat would hunt some mice. Mee Meow needs some incentive.

Treat after the mouse, Walt.

Too bad cats seldom listen, they are royalty you know!

Now we have going into the next arc the situation between Walt and the cat?

Cats hunt or not. Friend’s cat watched mouse eating out of her bowl.

Is it one of those Meowrice Mice?

If you want your cat to catch mice, don’t feed it. Hunger is a great incentive for potential mousers.

Meewow is too genial. I’m expecting the vermin population there to increase a bit in short order.
