That’s like saying a bull can bleed just like anybody else. All you have to do is get past the horns.

Hey Rat, get closer to the suction end!!

Our Husky/Lab cross hates the ‘monster’. Our Torte cat hates the ‘monster’. But our Bombay cat could care less—nothing scares him. We think that he gets that courage from having been on the streets for a few years after a previous owner had abandoned him. Who knows what he may have encountered on those streets. He had to fight to survive. He would haved faced off to many monsters.

This comic is quite appropriate for life right now. “There is a monster out there!”

Understanding how things work is basic survival equipment, Louie.

The Captain needs to update that vacum cleaner. He needs a kinder, gentle new monster. Reminds me of an old Eureka model we had about 30 years ago.

I think most vacuum cleaners sound like they’re growling to a dog.

We had one cat that would just about climb on the monster. Nothing bothered that cat. The two others are terrified at the sight of the monster even when it is not turned on.

Good morning Crew!

Get Scratch working. This house has mice!

And look at all the birds flying around the vacuum!

Or are they "M"s. I can never keep those straight.

Growing up, it was amazing how that monster got into the closet at night when I had been taking toys out during the day and it wasn’t there.

“Okay, I think I understand it all— just repeat the part after ’it’s really simple, Louie’.”

My lab loves the vacuum. When I get it out of the closet, he runs over and lays down, belly up. He wants to be vacuumed. It is a game.

I had a Dyson vacuum cleaner that my stepdaughter swore “shrieked like the demons from hell.” Oddly enough it got replaced by a Kirby which is more acceptable for some reason.

The monster is out to get Louie!

Good evening, Crew!

Knowledge is power? Or something like that …

Good Evening, Crew.
