   I shouldn’t have put spaces between the top and bottom panels. A solid line would have been better. I wanted the top and bottom to be read at the same time (three panels leading to the broken mower) now you read the top first, followed by the bottom, and it doesn’t make sense.

   Spot never wore a coat, relying on his hat to keep him warm. Of course, he’s not wearing a hat, either. But his winter hat was a wool sock, so perhaps the sock he’s using for dog ears works the same trick.

   The actual number for unsuspected vermin in a typical home is much higher. But I was too lazy at the time to look it up. I still am.

    Much belated editing: Panel 3, the word extra isn’t necessary. Panel 4 would read better if Lumpy didn’t say “Don’t blame me.” And life would be better if Lumpy’s final line wasn’t true.
