This joke would be a lot funnier if there was actually a dead body… But let’s be real, that’s just adding way too many things into the CUPS canon in short order. Also, I don’t really feel like cat homicide story-telling is something that I’m interested in dipping my feet into with this strip.
True story: Natalie Imbruglia came out with a new album like a month before I drew this strip, unbeknownst to me. I think the ‘Natalie Imbruglia as a very random but also very recognizable one-hit icon from twenty years ago’ joke is still pretty legitimate, even despite that fact.. Natty Im’s new joint somewhat may have blown the cover off of my quaint little joke, but… Shout out to Natalie Imbruglia anyway. Keep doing your thing, girl.
If you own a cat, and you don’t think seriously about sitting anywhere that cat has been, then you’re either super chill or just not realizing how little there is between the end of these creatures’ digestive systems and the rest of the world. I’m uncomfortable just thinking about how many things in my apartment my cats’ anuses have touched. Because the reality is that it’s probably everything.
