Sometimes the corgis forget to be indifferent and aloof.

This was meant to be a quick warm up, but it turned into a comic that I’ve wanted to draw for a while. This is something that is extremely important to me, and I appreciate it if you read it.
A while ago, I heard a story that broke my heart. A family went a cat shelter to adopt. The daughter fell in love with a 3-legged cat. The father straight up said “absolutely not”. Because he was missing a leg. That cat was that close to having a family that loved him, but the missing leg held him back. Why?!
Many people have the initial instinct of “nope” when they see an imperfect animal. I get it, but less-adoptable does NOT mean less loveable. 9 out of 10 people will choose a kitten over an adult cat. And those 10% that would get an adult cat often overlook “different” animals.
All I want people to do is be open to the idea of having a “different” pet in their lives. Choose the pet that you fall in love with, but at least give all of them a fair shot at winning your heart.
Don’t dismiss them, they deserve a loving home just as much as any other cat. They still purr, they still love a warm lap, they still play, they still love you. Trust me, next time you are in the market for a new kitty, just go over to that one cat that’s missing an eye and see what he’s all about!

Today's strip is something EXTRA fun! When I was thinking of how to do a strip showing how we decided to take Random in full-time, I immediately thought of Georgia Dunn's delightful comic strip, BREAKING CAT NEWS! And thankfully, when I pitched the idea to her, she was happy to let me play. I used to do LOTS of comic strip crossovers back when I was doing "Dandy & Company," and I've ALWAYS loved doing so, so this was a very special treat! Thanks again, Georgia!!!

So, I'm going to try something a little different with the BONUS material. It might not always be THIS every Friday, but our new porch cat, Random, inspired the idea for some Random doodling. In this premier gag, it showcases the JOY of usually being the first one downstairs in the morning, being beset on all sides by cats meowing for food. Lucipurr... however... tends to be in the basement with Rick, so I get to him right after these two vultures. Another fun aspect of these Doodles is that they are drawn traditionally with ink and paper, and even hand-lettered! (Zod help us all!)
