Temptation
Must… resist…
The ‘Must… resist…’ monologue is a staple in comics. You know the kind of thing:
“Must… resist… urge… to kill…”
“Polka-dot Kryptonite! Must… resist… it’s… RAYS…”
” Must… resist… delicious… doughnuts!”
It works well in context in comics, even if it is so hackneyed that it has developed into its own internet meme. However, try saying those words out loud and make it sound believable. It can’t be done.
Must… resist… saying… words… out… LOUD…
Behold!
It’s no longer a box!
In a strange kind of synchronicity, this is what my living room looked like on Sunday afternoon, with bits of cat tree strewn all over the place, and allen keys a go go. Yes, we’ve replaced the old cat tree with a new one. I’ve drawn it in Friday’s strip.
It’s a full box!
It’s still a box!
It’s a box!
Billy and Bella love their cat tree, so much so that they’ve wrecked it in about a year and a half. Let’s see what Smith and Jones make of one. Even though Jones is more interested in the box it comes in…
Not actually an exaggeration for comic effect
Billy and Bella invite you to admire their handiwork.
Just following instructions
If you don’t want your journal wrecked, don’t call it ‘Wreck This Journal’. Obviously.
