The Big Picture by Lennie Peterson for June 08, 2022

Obviously, you did not ask Homeslice’s permission. Nothing like being awakened by an intruder by the name of Doris. Are you in trouble.

Our 3 older cats were very unhappy last year when we introduced a kitten

Everyone plays with him now, including our old lady who is over 18 years old

He’s playing with the 14 year old male as I write this

Is that a smelly dog‽

Newport: the other town in Rhode Island…

Another pet? Can’t tell if it’s a puppy or another kitty, but if I remember correctly, Lennie, you are not a dog person, so I’m guessing another kitty. At one time, I had 5. (Never again!) – Let hilarity ensure! (Poor Homeslice).

Welcome back to reality. You have been missed.

I was worried about that last panel, until the meaning clicked.

Is that a mogwai? Don’t feed it after midnight or get it wet (unless those are only myths).

It’s about time Homeslice got a love interest. (missed you greatly.)

This is your first strip I didn’t need a magnifying glass to read. You have a hairless cat? Interesting. Now you also have a dog. Nice to meet them.

We are glad that you are back. We have missed you and your family.

He’ll get over it.

Love the look in Homeslice’s eyes.

Welcome back Lennie, we’ve missed you! Oh my have you rocked Homeslice’s world. This will make great strip material!

Had to do a couple of jobs at the Naval Station back in the day.

Here’s one for ya, Lennie

Hope Homeslice doesn’t channel Ginger and make Doris history! Welcome back Lennie

I noticed a few comments to some of my older posts were in notifications today.

Hey! Do you know Bryan Frankie Rizzuto? He plays jazz bass all over RI. He taught my son upright bass when we lived there. He’s a great human being and a wonderful jazz bassist!

Well, golly! Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!

We had a cat and then got a dog. For a period of time the dog would chase the cat and the cat would hide. One day they learned to get along…we found a scratch on the dogs nose.

I loved Newport the two times we were there! I recall chorizo and eggs. :)

I was there once, about 25 years ago – about a week before the Folk Fest that year…

I was surprised that Ginger had been replaced. It took me a while to realize that we had been seeing your older strips. Unfortunately, cats don’t have that long of a life span. RIP Ginger.
