Pickles must’ve been extra cantankerous from being stuck in Francis’ jacket for so long—poor, Nate. Francis just used his ailurophobia against him. If Nate had run away like he said he would, Pickles wouldn’t be able to catch him, but it is hard for Nate’s body to function under intense fear.
This strip is sad because Francis is basically teasing Nate about his fear of cats. Plus, even though I know nothing about American football, I’m pretty sure Francis is out.
5th panel of Chad tossing the “hike” to Nate sums up the state of what the wimpification of American Football has become from it’s heyday in the 1970s with fellows like Jim Otto who knew how to properly hike a football, and his teammate Jack Tatum, who, it was said, when the boogeyman went to sleep at night, he checked his closet for Jack Tatum.
Siiiiiigh, the troll is back. But you know what? It’s Christmas, so whatevs, I’m not ganna let him ruin my Christmas spirit. Like last time I will be flagging but only posting related comments.

Nate underestimated Francis and this is the result.

It’s Nate’s personal cat-astrophe.
If he goes to therapy, will Ranma Saotome join him?

Smart move. Francis definitely knows how to use Nate’s fear of cats to his advantage.

I hate HEV1’s comments because they are so hard to scroll down because it glitches my computer when I try to because they are so long

Merry Christmas Eve everyone! Also, why was Nate so confident in the beginning; I mean Nate is not that much faster than Francis

Cats rule, sure they might want to kill you but it’s all worth it when they snuggle.

Well, Nate, you should be happy that Francis didn’t lay a hand on you. The same can’t be said for Pickles…
