Morty Comix # 2453

I'm sure I'm not the only one who has noticed this, but isn't it sort of unsettling seeing a bear in a chef hat stirring BEAR STEW!? Is he a traitor to his own kind, or, is the stew waiting for him to jump in? Either way, it is quite chilling.

Things That Bother Buster

Buster is the alpha cat in my house, 12 years old, but he is a sensitive fellow.

He doesn't like the vacuum cleaner

Or when I wear hats

Or if plastic bags are used for anything. The very sound of them being employed offends him. Unfortunately for Buster, I use them every day to clean out the litter boxes.

It goes without saying he hates visitors. I had to move the "Welcome" sign to the back yard.

He really hates it when I sing or dance.

But then again, so do most people.

The meter reader drove Buster crazy, but they have since modernized to the point where they don't have to step into his domain in order to record the data.

Going to the Vet is not one of Buster's favorite activities.

Fleas. And getting them to the point where you have be shaved to be treated for an allergy is not fun.

Also, Buster does not like dogs, raccoons, skunks, porcupines or possums. All of them have visited my yard.

If he hears you using the can opener in the kitchen, and it turns out you are opening a can of diced pears instead of tuna fish, he gets cross. He really hates that.

You Are In Our Thoughts

To our East Coast brothers and sisters we extend our thoughts and prayers for your safe delivery through Frankenstorm. To our Pacific Northwest comrades up north in British Columbia, we hope you have survived the 7.7 earthquake and the afterquakes. North America is undergoing a character test by Mother Nature this week. And to our fellow Americans in Hawaii, hope you don't suffer too much from the BC tsumani.

And jeez, there is still an election we have to experience.

Morty Comix # 2451

Morty Comix # 2451 was left behind a mysterious black box in an Olympia, Washington coffee joint.

When I was a kid this place was a variety store and back in the left corner there sat a beautiful and functional soda fountain.

In 2007 this place exhibited all my pages from Bezango WA 985 as a 2-month gallery show.
