Heathcliff by Peter Gallagher for January 28, 2023

He’s taking quite a “shelling”.

Who’s Spite?

“Patrick McDonnell on line one, Mr. Gallagher.”

Is this Heathcliff or Mutts?

Spite, respite, repeat.

Should have been slated for Fall and not Winter.

Stormtrooper squirrel can’t seem to hit Heathfield.

They miss every time.

What did Heathcliff do to invoke that squirrel’s wrath?

Better wear helmet. That way head not get hit by them nuts.

In the old neighborhood there was a hickory tree in the yard next door. Some limbs overhung our yard. We would gather the nuts to eat. Squirrels that lived on the tree would drop nuts on us. We weren’t discouraged though. Occasionally a nut would actually hit one of us.

FYI: Acorns can be used to make bread.

Don’t blame them for trying to hit hethcliff

Heathcliff has no worries, seeing that the squirrel is a poor shot.
