Another Vomit Comic
If you read today's (Sunday's) Sally Forth, you saw that the Forths were on their way to Blockbuster to rent a movie. Did you think they forgot about sick Kitty? Considering their pet owner skilz, it's entirely possible. But, in reality, the Sunday strips aren't usually tied to the weekly strips, and we will have to wait to find out the latest in the Kitty saga. But, the story as it now stands:
Ah! Cat VOMIT! I own two cats, how did I not think of VOMIT as a viable outcome to this situation? (this following shortly after the Hi & Lois vomit comic). Sadly, after all this buildup, we don't get to see the vomit (although Ted seems to be describing it much as he would the "fish that got away." "It was thiiiiiiis big."). Nor, do we get to see poor, sick Kitty. Not that I'm advocating that we should, but . . . just wondering how such a family-friendly happy strip would show a sick pet. I'm sure it would involve dizzy lines around the head, with stars, and maybe even X's in the place of Kitty's eyes.
But I do love the Forths' reaction shots. Especially Sally's. She's got her hand to mouth, and has a very demure "Oh, my!" look going on.
Sally is instictively protecting Hillary from bad news by sending her upstairs on an errand while Sally calls the vet. So, is she going to keep Hillary occupied throughout the sick Kitty ordeal? Kitty's clearly not well, and Hillary may need to hear some bad news. Even if it's just "bring the cat in overnight." Sally can't hide bad news forever.
Finally, I'd like to point out that they found the (indoor) cat in a corner of the basement. Exactly how hard did they look for her, again? They started by looking in the yard, which made absolutely no sense. Do not call the Forths if you lose your pet.
And, oh yeah, Sally's got a snappy pink cell phone face plate. That's dope, brah.
Happy Memorial Day!

Big Al! I love your blog -- mainly because I never really paid attention to those newspaper comic strips because I don't read newspapers; now I realize they are a commie/liberal/pinko attempt to brainwash our children. Ever notice that Broom Hilda was always ready to trade her broomstick for a real, "natural" relationship with a man (which is the way God intended women to act; not like those lesbianz that are everywhere)? Anyway, thank you for bringing such an important topic to light!
Faithfully reading,
Jesus' Truth!
You know, I half expected Ted and Sally to use their "sly" expression for that last panel.
Hey JT -- Don't forget! Broom Hilda is a WITCH!!!! I mean, she does love men, but she's not MARRIED TO ANY OF THEM. She is not a good Christian woman, by any stretch!!! Now, Lois Flagston . . . there is a woman with Jesus in her heart.
As for Ted and Sally's expressions in the last panel, I just looked at it a little more closely. They seem to have the "evil eyebrow" thing going on. Almost like they're up to something . .. . Which I don't think they are. That just may be how your eyebrows would look if you found your cat sick in the basement after "looking" for her for 6 days.
