The 4th of July is nearly here, and you know what that means! That one place that closed a while back (sad trombone for the economy) is now a fireworks store! How exciting!
People in our neighborhood love to blow stuff up real good on the 4th, and it always makes me thankful that Olive doesn’t have opposable thumbs and can’t use matches. If so, she would bring the whole house down, yo!
Squirrels have a power over cats. Seriously. Cats can sit and watch squirrels for hours, forgetting where they are and what’s around them.
I’ve seen both Olive and Hazel charge at squirrels, forgetting that there’s a screen door between them and their prey. They bounce off the barrier, shake their heads and snap back into reality.
Do the squirrels know that they have this power over the cats? Are they toying with them? I think that may be the case.
Know what’s happening this weekend? It’s Summit City Comic Con! This year’s show is once again at the Grand Wayne Center in Fort Wayne, Indiana and runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday. Admission is $10 and free for kids 12 and under!
I will be there again this year selling print editions of CAAATS! along with my other book, The Troll and The Giant and an anthology of 24 Hour Comics from last October. I’ll also have print editions of Mystery Solved! the webcomic of skepticism and adventure. There will be plenty of prints available to purchase and I will be doing commissions all day long.
Last year’s show was a really awesome time, and this year should be even better. If you’re in or around Fort Wayne this weekend, stop by and say hello!
Another one of Olive’s favorite tricks. Follow Hazel from room to room, staying just out of sight. When the moment if just right, do a vertical leap and then charge at Hazel.
I still haven’t figured out what the vertical leap is for. I think that part is just for show.
