Prison break results in hospitalized detainee

Bighouse detainee, Loomis, successfully scaled the wall of the Bighouse courtyard yesterday afternoon and escaped. He avoided capture by prison officials and was on the run for approximately an hour before actually breaking back into the prison. It appears life on the outside was not what he expected. He returned, without his collar, and with a debilitating case of the gag’n'drools. Since Loomis has a history of “sampling” things that his salivary glands find objectionable (without resulting in permanent damage, at least for the cat), we kept him under observation. After several hours, his condition had not improved, and it was quite apparent he was suffering a good deal of discomfort.

The prisoner was transported to the veterinary clinic where he received a thorough examination. The examination revealed no physical damage and overall good health, but it did discover some suspect bowel contents (unsurprising for a prisoner with “Willful destruction of flip-flops” on his rap sheet). The prisoner received a couple of injections to help ease his discomfort, and was discharged with orders for continued observation. As of today, he appears to be feeling somewhat better, but will remain under close supervision.

We will keep everyone updated on his condition. In the meantime, although we hate he’s feeling poorly, we are enjoying the *silence* around here resulting from Loomis’ newfound, appreciation for staying indoors.

015 – Off to a Grand Start

Here’s the story. I got busy with the holidays and didn’t get the New Year’s episode done before the celebration began. I did, however, have access to some napkins, a pen, and a few drunk friends; some of whom were kind enough to help me with the strip.

Here’s a breakdown to help you understand, since these are really a “had to be there” kind of deal.

1. My strip for the evening. Says it all.

2. Jenn did this one first to try to shut me up. She wrapped it up and said “There. Done.”

3. I’m not sure what Jon was going for here. I think it was a conversation going on at the table.

4. This was Anita’s (aka “themistress”) entry. We were bemoaning having to work so hard to buy products with pseudoephedrine because of meth-heads, and the fact we could no-longer buy clove cigarettes because some dolts someplace think it’ll curb teenage smoking.

There. Now you know.

So this explains the missing strip from two weeks ago, what about last week? Well, to be honest, I got a new video game for Christmas, and, well, I’ve been playing the hell out of it. There. I said it. Hopefully we’ll get back on schedule this week. Wish me luck!
