I didn’t comment on yesterday’s strip because it was posted later than usual, but it’s worth noting that the cat breed’s name is actually spelled Sphynx, with a Y.
Also, they’re a surprisingly recent breed. They originated in Canada in the 1960s-70s.
While I was going to St. Ives, I met a man with seven wives. Each wife had seven sacks. Each sack had seven cats. Each cat had seven kits. Wives, cats, kits, how many are going to St. Ives?
For bonus points, also figure out how many I met on the way there.
Wrong answer, Phoebe. The right answer is “Oh, that’s a tricky one, give me a minute” (pretends to think hard about it for a minute) None, they’re all copycats."

Okay, if by copycat you mean someone who does just like the one, not necessarily someone who looks just like the one.

The conventional answer is wrong because the direction the large family is going isn’t specified. The correct answer is “Not enough information.”

I have caused heroic gambles and sown endless frustration.
Uncounted deaths have I caused. What am I?"
