smug n stuff: Jul 21, 2016; A Hobbit's Adventure

In the Calvin & Hobbes version of this story, the small cute animal does die, and Calvin (and his mom) contemplate mortality, and it's one of the more emotionally affecting series in the strip (In my opinion).
In this, Sluggo will probably say a prayer and God will heal the cat and give Sluggo a Christmas present.
gently caress Gilchrist.

Who the hell thinks 'cats hate stuff on top of them'? Every cat I've owned loved burrowing under things, being wrapped up, or snuggling into enclosed spaces.

My initial thoughts exactly (and ditto that God will of course save the cat), then I noticed the cat's got a David Bowie lightning bolt. gently caress you, Gilchrist.

Ugh, the cat is the david bowie tribute? I'm going to have to watch a Rifftrax to get the taste of that out of my mouth. Specifically, whichever one had this scene.

Add "cats" to the long list of things Gilchrist does not understand, along with humor, timing, proportion, dignity...

"Though it is visible from all over the city from its lofty perch on Mt. Lee, it can actually be surprisingly difficult to get a well-angled shot. Many are surprised to learn that it's illegal to get close to the Sign, which is set behind restricting gates and protected by security cameras and Park Rangers. A Los Angeles Police Department officer is also stationed at the Sign 24/7."

Ben's retired from boxing. Why's he still getting special massages?

He and Spider are still friends, and he occasionally boxes for fun? Also, jesus Spider. If it bothers you so much just say something.
