05/02/25 – Even If

Arms akimbo, Thoos said, "Wait, are you saying that cats are just inherently evil and cruel? That makes no sense! Why do humans keep them around as companions then? Just because they're cute?" Rodrigo said, "Yes." Understanding dawning, Thoos said, "Ah," and then said, "Oh. Forget it. Even if purrloin could do it, these cuffs would set off all the alarms if we left this room." Rodrigo said, "Maybe that key Spizz used to secure them on us could get them off." Thoos put their hands on their hips and said, "So? What's your point?" Rodrigo held up the key and said, "I pickpocketed it?" Unlocking their cuff with a click, Thoos said, "I don't know which is worse. You usually being useless in helping, or you not bothering to mention it when you can help." Rodrigo put his arms behind his head and relaxed back and said, "Tell me when you've decided, I'm fine doing either."

If curious, in the last panel of this strip, as Spizz put the cuff-key into his fur for storage, who was in close had his arm around Spizz? Rodrigo, the little thief!

    Christopher, when looking for the klepto strip I came across the 7 strips from 03/06/24 to 03/20/24 that still need to be colored. Sorry to add to your “to do” stack.
