Yo quiero Taco Bell – not really, hate the stuff but Elvis’s outfit reminds me of the advert. Not that he’d be pleased to be compared to a Chihuahua I’m sure :)
And I note that Elvis understands what the woman is saying, even if she doesn’t always understand what he is saying. (She does understand this time.)
This is the way it is in real life. She-For-Whom-The-Sun-Shines-On-That-Part-Of-The-Carpet sometimes tries the “I’m just a poor little cat. I don’t understand human speech” line. Not true, of course. She knows perfectly well what I am telling her. And quite often I understand what she is telling me.
A CATS’ HEARING APPARATUS IS BUILT TO ALLOW THE HUMAN VOICE TO EASILY GO IN ONE EAR AND OUT THE OTHER!! I have six furballs to prove this theory, male & female, young and old, they’re all alike!
I love the expression in panel three. Mommie’s Special Boy is so NOT amused :) Elvis, Py, The Imperial would have told you that is the price you pay when you are He Who Mommie Loves Best. Georgia, as always, you’ve brought sunshine into my morning
When I was a kid, I had a 15 pound Siamese named Big Bad John. (Yes, I’m that old!) He would let me dress him up in my doll clothes and push him around in my toy baby buggy. I never thought about dressing him up for Trick or Treat! Elvis reminds me a lot of Big Bad John—all grumpy on the outside with a heart of gold on the inside.
And the most depressing thing is that I didn’t realise that dressing like a sixties go-go dancer counted as a costume. I still think it is just ordinary clothes.

Gee Elvis, you sure LOOK like a taco.
So what is The Woman dressed up as? 60’s Go-Go Dancer?

In terms of personality… Elvis seems a bit more like a Wasabi ball to me.

The range of emotion and expression on Elvis’ dramatic little face in today’s strip is truly impressive. Well done, Ms. Dunn!

Elvis is so dejected with his “I AM helping.” Body language is so very true-to-cat-life.

Since Halloween is on a Tuesday this year that makes Elvis the main dish for Taco Tuesday.

Poor Elvis. He must truly love the woman to let her dress him up like that, as forlorn and unhappy as it makes him.

I notice a little bit of this costume peaking out behind Elvis in panel 3 of yesterday’s comic. I’m not sure why it didn’t bother him more then?

Elvis needs to embrace his food identity and stop hiding from his real self.
