Pickles by Brian Crane for December 13, 2012

Panel four should have shown Muffin landingon Earl’s groin area with all claws extended.

first cat in space?

In one “Garfield” strip that I recall, Garfield said, “look before you sit.”

Too bad the window wasn’t opened.

Now, how is Earl going to get up ??

That is the biggest and ugliest bean bag chair I have ever seen. Guess there is no return at the thrift store.

If that was me in that chair, somebody better be calling for a crane !

Where’s the window in panel 3?And why is the wall green?

When we first rescued our cat Saul, he was my shadow. As a friend of mine says, “cats follow along in front.” One day I sat in my favourite chair only to hear a muffled miaow. He had got there before me! But that only happened once. Who says cats don’t learn from experience!

We have to check the bed before we sit down on it, because our cat likes to tunnel under the covers.

Hilarious!

Now that’s phreakin phunnie!

No, Earl, I don’t think you’re sorry at all.

I love how Muffin’s fur is standing on end.

LOL xxx

Wheeee!

Scene through the window — are those leaves piled higher than the window sill? That could be my yard …

Llewellenbruce: That was my thought, except I also expected the chair to get shredded too, with the “beans” dribbling out.

Is this a new kind of “cat-a-pult”?

I think what’s missing is some vocals from Muffin sounding something like “reeeeeeeeer!”

So that’s the way to get rid of a cat…Practice makes Perfect.

Wait until Nelson jumps on it and sends “beans” everywhere!Getting rid of the mess will not be easy. (predicting end of story arc)

At least that’s a quick way out of the beanbag chair.

Surprised there was’nt a “Wheeeeee” coming from the cat, that looks like fun!!!

At least he didn’t land on the cat. That would have been ugly.

He could roll off onto his hands and knees, and crawl to a piece of furniture or something that will give him leverage to stand up.

What goes up must come down. Watch out!!!!!!!
