You Have a Question, You Ask the 8-Ball

Apologies for no post yesterday. Our little lady Katy had to go to the vet which ended up taking longer than we thought and, after getting dinner, eating, and such, I just wasn't up to doing a post.

She is fine. Has a small growth in her throat restricting some airflow. Hopefully some antibiotics can get rid of it. She is usually pretty healthy so this is unlike her. But she is almost 18-years-old so the fact that she is pretty healthy is somewhat astounding.

Anyway, send good tidings to our sweet old lady and let's get on with today's post.

"Saucy wench"? I don't know what's gotten into Brutus today, but I'm not a fan of losing out on that pie. Oh, well. Serves him right. It's a fake pie in a comic strip, I wouldn't have gotten a piece anyway.

I like the look of that sweater. Shame we probably will never see it again.

I looked at back comics thinking I have seen Brutus in a sleeveless sweater before. I couldn't find one, but I swear he has been seen in one. Is a sweater vest the same thing?

I do appreciate Mother Gargle's dedication to the bit.

It's pretty ballsy of Brutus to constantly be asking the fortune teller for a better price or a discount. This is her job, Brutus! If you don't want to pay what she believes she is worth then you don't need to use her services. And that goes for all of you out there!
