I want to believe that the author isn't going to push some incel-grade "stalk your true love and outwit Chad to gain her eternal affection" poo poo because holy gently caress, but at the same time this is a newspaper comic so there's a one in fifty chance of the people involved in creating it not being poo poo.

The best outcome here would be for Wilbur to realize he hosed up, take a look at himself and what he's doing, and start making some changes to better himself, then find someone new.

So, basically, I should start getting that letter ready.

I doubt Wilbur's behavior is gonna be painted as a positive thing, but it's entirely within the realm of possibility that Iris' boyfriend is gonna notice him skulking about and threaten him with Violence and then Iris will break up with him because he resorted to Violence.

You know, I think this comic is really cute, and I like it a lot, but the humans having the same unbroken green voids for eyes that the cats have is sort of off-putting for some reason.

It's because of those brain parasites they got from the cats.

Cat News or whatever it's called has become one of my favorite comics in this thread. Everything about it is adorable yet not (in my opinion at least) saccharine. Plus I really like kitties.

Also, I've been incredibly slacking on scanning new Moomin. I won't have time for a bit with the holidays, but the thread needs some, so I'll post the other story that I already had scanned up (or saved from a previous thread, I forget.) It's been in the thread before but it's still one of my favorites.
