With Friends Like These... #79: Everyone is Someone's Cat Toy.
First, the strip:
With Friends Like These... #79: Everyone is Someone's Cat Toy.
Second, the footnotes:
Kate frequently comes across as the straight man in my strips, because she does it so very, very well, and it's more believable (to anyone who knows us) that I'd be able to lead Vixy down the primrose path of crazy. That being said, Kate is also very, very fond of using me as her personal entertainment center. I am like unto a catnip mouse, designed to be batted around and played with.
Her latest hobby is pointing out science fiction awards that I now potentially qualify for. Not because she thinks I'll win them -- and not because I think I'll win them, either -- but because merely noting that I fit the necessary standards for qualification causes my eyes to get tiny little 'tilt' notices where the pupils ought to be. (If you think my reaction to the word 'Campbell' is bad, you should see what happens when she reminds me about the Stoker Award.)
My friends. Smacking me gaily around for their own amusement.
