Description
Well, finally getting around to introducing other characters.I had fun drawing this one, but the lettering was a bitch. Trying to lay it out made me realize just how bad at it I am. The font size in previous strips has probably been much larger than necessary. It's a little smaller this time, but there's more dialogue here than usual and it quickly became smooshed. Well, anyway, sorry if it's difficult to read. That's on my list of things to improve upon (along with singing in key and marmot wrangling).
I had some requests here for a URL [link] that would always display the most recent comic - the lackadaisy web site now has the brains to do this.
Thanks !!!

Is what Miss M said about tragedy a quote from something? 'Cause that's beautiful

You put so much work into a comic you give away for free. That never ceases to amaze me
In the next-to-last panel, I like the way you drew his right paw, showing it curve like that and showing it's actually a 3-dimensional thing, most would have simply drawn it as 2-D and let it go at that. No wonder your work's so good, attention to things like that.

Perils of Pauline...oh dear. I'm surprised he survived. And yet he's still got a smile on his face. I like this guy. "You know how much you frighten the elderly" LOL.
I love you style so much. It's so very vintage and so entertaining to look at. And best of all ITS KITTIES!!!

Rocky is just really lovable! The way he is positive with misfortune (or at least it looks like that). and Miss M's humour is great!

"As far as reading material goes, the Ledger is too depressing. I've decided to read the Obituaries instead."
HA!
Classic.
I really need to write this stuff down.
I bet this could make a great play.
Just replace the cat people with real people, and you got a great play.

I can see how the lettering was a pain. This was exceptionally wordy. Man, what'd Rocky get himself into? He's lookin' messed up--and scaring the elderly.

I love Ivy. She's just too cute for words. And the font isn't hard to read at all. 0.o It's amazing you fit so much dialogue and the font isn't all mumbojumbo.

"Embalming Fluid"...? x3
Yeah, code-talk is always fun, especially in Lackadaisy... ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehe...It's not code speak in this case, actually. It was common back then for bootleggers to 'cut' their alcohol so they'd have more to sell - in other words, make one bottle of whiskey into two bottles of whiskey by splitting it in half and filling the empty space with something cheap but alcoholic, like embalming fluid. As a result, a lot of people unintentionally poisoned themselves and died drinking bootleg liquor. Whiskey's not very good for you, but embalming fluid will kill you faster.

Wow. I really didn't know that... O_o Well, you learn something new every day, and this new thing is....interesting....so say the least. x3

Oh brillient! I was hoping we'd get to see Ivy in the comic soon! I knew she'd be my favorite. I love her already.

Very amusing and subtle humour!
Brilliant dialogue, the character's relationships and conversations seem so natural and easy and that makes for the best read in a graphic novel.
Do I need to mention you artwork is totally breath taking?
