Ten Cats by Graham Harrop for December 16, 2014

Chesney, you’ve got to get this right: Annie is both the Manager and the Waitress! You’d better get your ducks all in a row to pull one on her! ;)

Sounds like an old Abbott and Costello gag!

A treat? For me?

Its going to be a good day to go to the shelter today.Pet me some kitties.

So, my daughter brought over a big bunch of kale yesterday. I am very fond of kale, and thought I’d try my hand at making kale chips as they seem to be very highly touted these days. Experiment was a total failure, they are too bitter to be eaten. So, we are off to feed a flock of ducks in a local pond that winter over every year. Whole apartment smells like I had boiled a dozen cabbages for a week.

I’m loving these vintage strips. Today’s is so funny! P.S. I hate kale.

Quit it, Chesney. You’re giving cats a bad name!

Love your sequence of pictures – too funny! -— Chesney, just be thankful someone is there to feed you!

We’re back and I just got caught up on all of the strips and comments from last week. Did I miss the end of the arc with Woof and his asking Santa for something?

Feline logic

you are just a pair of thumbs for me human

love the ears

Baby kale is very tasty. Give Chesney some, Annie, see what he thinks! :-D

WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THE SHERPA COMICS?

Ko-Ko. Pooh-Bah, it seems that the festivities in connection with my approaching marriage must last a week. I should like to do it handsomely, and I want to consult you as to the amount I ought to spend upon them.

Pooh-Bah. Certainly. In which of my capacities? As First Lord of the Treasury, Lord Chamberlain, Attorney General, Chancellor of the Exchequer, Privy Purse, or Private Secretary?

Ko-Ko. Suppose we say as Private Secretary.

Pooh-Bah. Speaking as your Private Secretary, I should say that, as the city will have to pay for it, don’t stint yourself, do it well.

Ko-Ko. Exactly — as the city will have to pay for it. That is your advice.

Pooh-Bah. As Private Secretary. Of course you will understand that, as Chancellor of the Exchequer, I am bound to see that due economy is observed.

Ko-Ko. Oh! But you said just now “Don’t stint yourself, do it well”.

Pooh-Bah. As Private Secretary.

Ko-Ko. And now you say that due economy must be observed.

Pooh-Bah. As Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Ko-Ko. I see. Come over here, where the Chancellor can’t hear us. (They cross the stage.) Now, as my Solicitor, how do you advise me to deal with this difficulty?

Pooh-Bah. Oh, as your Solicitor, I should have no hesitation in saying “Chance it —”

Ko-Ko. Thank you. (Shaking his hand.) I will.

Pooh-Bah. If it were not that, as Lord Chief Justice, I am bound to see that the law isn’t violated.

Ko-Ko. I see. Come over here where the Chief Justice can’t hear us. (They cross the stage.) Now, then, as First Lord of the Treasury?

Pooh-Bah. Of course, as First Lord of the Treasury, I could propose a special vote that would cover all expenses, if it were not that, as Leader of the Opposition, it would be my duty to resist it, tooth and nail. Or, as Paymaster General, I could so cook the accounts that, as Lord High Auditor, I should never discover the fraud. But then, as Archbishop of Titipu, it would be my duty to denounce my dishonesty and give myself into my own custody as first Commissioner of Police.

Ko-Ko. That’s extremely awkward.

Pooh-Bah. I don’t say that all these distinguished people couldn’t be squared; but it is right to tell you that they wouldn’t be sufficiently degraded in their own estimation unless they were insulted with a very considerable bribe.

Ko-Ko. The matter shall have my careful consideration.

So odd seeing vintage Annie and cats….but Graham must be relaxing and thinking more delightful adventures for us all.

Kale…well, I guess boiled, buttered and salted would be OK.

Love the strip today and the pictures are great! >^..^<

The pic with the kitten in the scan room is just flat out, pure-dee adorable! I would love to meet the person who made the hat, mask and picture.

Thank you Eldo and Rickie Tavi (and everyone) for added value cat posts. I love this strip with all the cat lovers here.*Chesney, smarten up and treat Annie right. ;-)
