Prohibition

Also published by the Independent. And by the time it was published on GoComics the powers that be had revised their bylaws after a group of dog owners staged a wag-in on the pier, and dogs were allowed on the pier under suffrance.

Look, it’s a guest apperance by my own cats, Billy and Bella. Ginger’s just a generic.

Incidentally, that seat Bella’s sitting on is rather neat. They’re custom built and are all over the pier…

 

A tour of the tree

smith-pilcher-758-150211DSCF1715Just for comparison, here’s Billy and Bella’s new tree. It’s essentially the same as the one in the strip, except the balls have been knocked off the top seats already, and the den at the top of the tree has been relocated to another part of the room so they have a extra place to hide and scratch. Billy and Bella were, of course, observing the one week ignoring rule when this photo was taken

Not actually an exaggeration for comic effect
