A double strip because I felt the gag deserved the space it needed!
Whew. What a week. I bought some groceries on the way walking home Wednesday night, and a fresh bottle of lime juice burst open for some reason. I had my laptop with me, and although it was in a water resilient case, it wasn’t a waterPROOF case. It turned on when I got home and only had minor screen damage, so I shut it down for a-day-and-a-half to dry it out. And it did indeed restart, but wouldn’t take a charge, and some of he ports wouldn’t work. With 6% battery left, I backed up all the important stuff I could think of. The Apple store said that with liquid damage they’d just replace everything, an it would cost more than the laptop was worth. So I took it to an independent shop who said they’d see if it could just be cleaned. And by miracle, success! I was ready for despair, so, how nifty is that?
It was interesting spending 5 days on my old laptop. Slow, clunky, half the keyboard barely works (and for some reason now it won’t talk to my bluetooth keyboard). And the 3D Sketchup models (which I have on a HD) were saved with the new software, and my old laptop will only run the old software. So, I managed to cobble together the backgrounds pulled from the previous strip and make today’s strip work, but thank goodness I got my computer back before it all drove to crazytown.
Oh, plus I’m startng a house-sit unexpectedly early, and so need to pack and put everything I own into storage by Jun 9.
I’m very curious how all this will go.
Oh, and p.s., I added the three panels zoomed in, because Purrloin deserves to be seen for her bold actions!

Purrloin jumped onto the Bricknock’s back and dug hr claws into it. It screeched “Awwwk!” and flapped into the air, Purrloin aboard. Thoos, Picknar, Knox, and Rodrigo watched as the epic battle of bird and beast ensued in the air above them. Slash! Flap! Peck! Peck! Myreoww! Awwwk! Awwwk! Flap! Flap! Flap! Crunch! Flap! Whap! Spshheww! Meow! Shudder! Whiff! Swoop! And then the Bricknock came crashing down with a “Thoomp!” into its nest. Casually, Purrloin climbed out from behind it and sat on it and began cleaning herself. As the crew looked on with horror, Rodrigo said, “I knew we should have put a bell on her collar.”
