Tbf, I’ve only good things to say about the people working at the VCA we take our pets to. I’m sure there’s evil higher up in the corporation, because it’s a superstructure that parasitizes the local offices and exploits the veterinarians and their helpers. Sort of like " health insurance" companies, nothing of value is added. But the hands-on people have only shown great care for animals.

Sometimes I think the way to sell universal healthcare would be to include pets. Although you’d never convince Kristi Noem.

Well I am female, but I don’t really care what shape bodies are. And I try to avoid anything about the Kardashians entirely. But Kylie was on Graham Norton the other week, (in a transparent dress described as “a doily and a condom”) and I wanted to see the others on the show. And at the Met Gala she made sure she’d be recognized even in a full-face mask.

Okay I take the whole thing back, going back to edit previous comment. That was Kim, not Kylie. Apologies Kylie, I know literally nothing about you.

Hmmmm, I sort of think we’re all a little too familiar with the shape of Kylie Jenner, unless for the first time in her life she wore something that wasn’t skintight. Which superheroine suits usually are. But if it were bulky enough, maybe.

No, I’m stupid, I was thinking of Kim Kardashian, not Kylie. Go ahead and fight crime in mystery, Kylie.

Maybe their version of “rule the planet” involved mostly just hanging out in their den and thinking interesting thoughts.

Agreed although apparently use of the meme is now expanded to include anything that sends us back to 1984, so it could mean “that’s an old joke” or “women these days appreciate a big stick, that’s outdated sexism.”

As an old woman, I disagree though. Big sticks should be appreciated in Nature and then left for someone else to enjoy. That’s not sexist. And OP’s comic is new to me. It’s also adorable.

I for one welcome all these Plutoid planets to the planet family.

What’s the downside, we have to make a new mnemonic? Or add a verse to the Blue’s Clues Planet Song? I think we’re capable.

Why the fuck we didn’t just deem Eris into planethood I’ll never understand. Both it and Pluto are arguably more similar to Terra than the gas giants are.

He needs a shed outside to keep his big stick in.

Am I supposed to not be able to see what’s in her speech bubble?

Sink. I’d be wasting all that shower water I’m not actively washing with, or I’d be shivering with the water turned to a trickle. When I brush at the sink, I only need to wet the brush, and turn off the tap until I’m ready to rinse.

Awwww, thank you.

I have upvoted this very anxious cat, but I request you start working on another drawing of the same cat safe and contented. I’ll be over here with my arms folded and foot tapping…

I’m all for a Brendan Fraser + Rachel Weisz movie, but why do we need a mummy? How about a completely unconnected original story?

Exactly. Cutting boards should be stowed on edge if possible to minimize germs landing on them from whatever source, and any food prep surface should be cleaned before use. Even without a cat.

A couple of our cat’s favorite places can’t be reached without jumping from the counter so I take the responsibility for clean food prep and removing possible toxins instead of trying to keep her off it.

Some people say they have trained their cats to stay off the counter and dinner table. Their cats have learned how to not get caught on the counter and dinner table. Except for disabled cats who can’t jump, all cats make use of the vertical space in their homes. It’s one reason they don’t need to go outside to get exercise. And they feel safer when they have the high ground.

The width is for safe travel by people in wheelchairs. I’ve been in situations where a mere inch too narrow meant we had to go back to wherever we could cross, or drive/walk in the road, or even give up on that street entirely. Could you possibly fit the pavers if you took it all the way to the edge? Would it be safe for that stretch of roadway? The people who laid the sidewalk presumably measured and decided not. Now, could they have paved the straight AND the curve? Probably yes, but at greater expense. And we’d miss out on this nice desire path.

Bleh bleh bleh bleh!

Y’know, there’s blinds you can get that come up from the bottom to take care of that awkward placement so near the window. Let in the sky without mooning the tourists.
