Ten Cats by Graham Harrop for August 01, 2023

Alas, Chesney. But we all knew she loved Woof. And you have to admit, you are no prize!

I left a comment, but since that 3 letter word that suggests crying is also an acronym for “son of a…”, I thought I’d better not leave that comment. Some troll might flag me for it and get me banned. So I’ll say “Boo hoo” instead.

Today is:

NATIONAL GIRLFRIENDS DAY

NATIONAL NIGHT OUT DAY. My night out will be at work. Sigh!

INTERNATIONAL MAHJONG DAY. It’s been months since I’ve played that on my computer. I must start playing it again.

RESPECT FOR PARENTS DAY

NATIONAL RASPBERRY CREAM PIE DAY. Sounds yummy! Bring it on!

NATIONAL MINORITY DONOR AWARENESS DAY

From yesterday’s comments, to robertengle who said, “I’m new to this strip, why is there a hole in the wall?”

First of all, we welcome you as a new reader. If you read the rest of the comments, you may have noticed Marge mentioning us “Graham Crackers”. Just so you know, that’s what we call ourselves – Graham fans – Graham Crackers. Just a fun phrase we have been using for several years now.

The fish head, huh? That explains the clothespin on his nose.

This stinks. Literally. ☺

Awww, poor Chez is heartbroken.

Today I feel so very sad

’Cause my love loves someone else instead

Not that I feel better

With that fish in the letter

Since it’s a month that it’s gone bad

Oh! Poor Chesney! : (

FREE MORE CATS THAN SENSE and ELDO!!!

Life sux

I feel sorry for Chesney.

Awwww! Time to move on, Chesney! Looks like you and Mimieux are FINished!

…and get that fish head OUTTA HERRRRE! EW

Awww…poor Ches. He doesn’t deserve this (well, maybe he does, but still, she didn’t need to be so curt and formal (“under separate cover!?!?”)

I feel his pain. When I was a high school senior I has a crush on our French foreign exchange student. I asked him out to the backwards dance and he said yes. Then he said yes to someone else and I lost out. Crushes are emotionally draining.On the up side, there weren’t any fish heads involved.

As a woman who has had to deal with two stalkers, I am always amazed at how a woman who doesn’t like a man is always viewed as wrong and the sympathy is always with the “poor guy.”

One stalker thankfully never came back after he broke into my home; I guess he realized he had gone too far. The other one was dealt with by two of my male friends, who told him in no uncertain terms what they would do to him if he didn’t stop — although, really, that only happened after he first threatened them to mind their own business, which they took a little more seriously than threats against me and my roommate.

A good friend of mine was murdered by her stalker. He finally severely beat her and put her into a coma, leaving her lying there. Hours later, according to his lawyer in court, he felt bad and went back and “suffered a moment of temporary insanity,” when he strangled her and killed her.

Everyone, including the judge felt sorry for him(!!!!) and gave him a slap on the wrist, assuring him that with good behavior, he could be out of prison in a few months.

Polite, under the circumstances.

I’ve been there too & BOY is it painful :-(

You send a tin of prime sardines, preferably French, to a classy lady cat. She is out of Chesney’s league.

I don’t even like fresh sardines!

She was not impressed by his crappie gift…

What a bummer. :( That fish head isn’t the only thing that stinks. On another note, saw a sparrow, a chipmunk, two spotted towhees, and four robins while out walking today.
