One-Panel Wednesday: Cats and Hedehogs

Heathcliff, 2014-06-12.

Heathcliff, pursued by two police officers, waves to Sonja as he passes her house.
"He always makes time to see you." says Sonja's owner.



Kliban's Cats, 2014-06-12.

A woman sits for a painter, holding a cat on her lap. As the painter paints her, the cat sitting on his lap works on the part of the painting featuring the woman's cat.



Bizarro, 2014-06-16.

A woman looks out the front windows of her house. In a row alongside the path to the doorway a line of hedgehogs have been partially buried, forming a decorative border. Two of them have managed to escape and are walking away.
"Chet," says the woman in alarm, "I don't think you buried the hedgehogs deep enough."



Dennis the Menace, 2014-0616.

Alice and Dennis are in a shop. The woman behind the counter is glaring at Alice. Alice is glaring at Dennis.
"But how can I watch my language?" asks Dennis. "It's invisible!"

What did he say? And why is the woman behind the counter so angry about it? The far more interesting part of this story apparently happened off-screen, just before the bit we actually get to see.

One-Panel Wednesday: People sure do hate their spouse's mother, right?

The Better Half, 2014-04-24.

"First they told me 2 + 2 + 4." says Stanley. "The  they told me 3 + 1 + 4. After that, I lost all faith in our education system." And if he went through school and failed to learn to count then that would be a pretty harsh indictment of at least the school he went to.

An igloo is on fire. Several Eskimos form a line and pass blocks of ice forward to throw on the fire.

Snow job.



The Lockhorns, 2014-04-29.

Loretta's mother proudly shows off a trophy.
"Tennis?" says Leroy. "I thought it was for quidditch."

He's implying that Loretta's mother is a witch. You see, quidditch is the fictional game played by the wizards and witches in the Harry Potter series, so if she had won a quidditch trophy then she must be a witch. Leroy doesn't like his mother-in-law. That's the joke.



Heathcliff, 2014-04-29.

Heathcliff is spray-painting the word "POOP" onto a wall as a crowd of children watch and cheer.
"His graffiti is kid-friendly." remarks a police officer, making no attempt to stop the vandalism or apprehend the perpetrator.
