Cinco de Mayo. It’s a holiday commemorating the Mexican army’s unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. Well, that’s what Wikipedia says, but that’s also the site that told us all Sinbad is dead.

Anyway, it also happens to be a holiday celebrating Mexican heritage and pride, or if you’re American, going to the bar and drinking too much.

But this is an all ages comic, so let us focus instead on the fine cuisine the Mexican culture has brought us and the joy of a cat tasting her first taco. FIESTA!

Spring is in the Air

Things have finally started to warm up in Indiana, and boy is it about time! The winters here drag on and on, and this year, the cold seemed to hang around even longer than usual.

Needless to say, when the temperature finally rises and the sun begins to shine, it’s a pretty big deal. People seem more energized. And so do cats.

Unfortunately, an overly-energized Olive is just about the last thing Hazel needs. And even in her dreams, there’s no escaping the nuttiness.

Silly Rabbit, Kicks are for Ninjas

With Easter just a few days away, the advertisers are out in full force. And what is their favorite creature to feature in their campaigns? The bunny, of course!

Cute, soft, lovable and peaceful. The perfect tool to sell candy. But what if bunnies didn’t have any of the previously mentioned qualities? What if they were the meanest animal in the yard?

Hazel finds out firsthand in today’s comic that the rabbit is one of nature’s creations that is not to be trifled with. Quick reflexes and powerful legs allow it to take down anything that crosses its path. With extreme prejudice.

And given the chance, it might even steal your candy …

Om Nom Nom!

Cats are terrible at sharing. They’ll fight over one bowl of food when there are clearly two full bowls left out for both of them.

The same goes for treats. I used to give both cats a treat at the same time, but Olive perfected a maneuver in which she was able to swipe the treat out from under Hazel, pop it into her mouth and swallow it whole in under two seconds.

So in this strip, Hazel invents the Shame Net. A device capable of immobilizing those who engage in troublesome behavior. If I had a Shame Net, I’d use it in movie theaters a lot. Talkers and texters would get the Net for sure. Who would you use the net on?
