    And why would the cat be hanging with the Wong crowd?

    Pastis, are you trying to propagate a racial stereotype?

    Pig worked too hard to make a bad pun about his missing cat. It was Luv’s Labour’s Lost.

    Mr Wong and his cousins all live east of the train tracks.

    They all lived on the Wong side of the tracks.

    It doesn’t surprise me Pastis would introduce a new pet into the strip solely for the purpose of getting laughs. Irresponsible! (Actually, if memory serves, he once had a cat in Pearls named Snuffles.)

    Pastis is a doughty fellow. And he just might use this pun again. So, if he does, will two wongs make a wight?

    That song was EVERYWHERE in 1980-1981. It was also my mother’s favorite song from the Urban Cowboy soundtrack so I couldn’t escape it.

    Thank God for Boz Scaggs…on an 8-track you had to listen to Look what you’ve done to me to get to wookin’ pa nub (slight nod to the Buckwheat comments)…
