Pickles by Brian Crane for July 08, 2014

Yet Emily manages to talk just fine although looking a chipmunk with acorn-stuffed, sunburnt cheeks

You can’t put Muffin out. She’s a house cat.

Put Emily out, and pretty quick!

Gee, Brian. That image of Emily is going to give me nightmares.

If unwanted guests make it past the locked gates at the end of the lane then I have combat cats who’ll take over defense!

Put Muffin out?! He lives here! She’s just visiting.

Why do they always blame the cat??? Maybe it’s a dog allergy.

If one has an allergy to a cat or dog, then one should not visit athomes where said critters live!

Ha! Words of wisdom for us all.

Maybe she’s allergic to Earl

Allergies can develop without warning. I am allergic to cats and I take an antihistamine when visiting people who have cats. Generally, they’re kind enough to put the cat in another room while I am there. That usually works.

I’m fine, really, except for difficulty breathing, and my sinuses closing up, and the pending heart attack. It’s Ok, I don’t want to be a bother.

eh….breathing is over rated

My daughter in law is allergic to cats, but she got a bengal cat and has had no problems allergy wise. It is a hybrid between a domestic cat and an Asian leopard cat.

Oh dear, she had belter go & develop at home!!!

Not the best strip Crane ever put out.

Yeah, this is from 2007. It is not unusual for comic strip artists to take a vacation this time of year.

Get well soon, Emily!

I vote Muffin stays; she goes. Talk about getting beat with an ugly stick!

I apparently have an allergy to money, but it’s no real problem since I never have any.

George, Do you find yourelf sneezing even when all alone? (Hey YOU set up the joke.)

Or you could give the cat 2 drops of Acepromazine in the food every day — works for me and I live quite nicely with 4 cats and an allergy.
