Overboard by Chip Dunham for January 23, 2020

The tip-off for the mice was all the pages being dog-eared. Obviously Scratch wasn’t actually reading it.

And the tittle was on the back cover.

Give it up Scratch. The mice are smarter than you.

Offer them some D-Con as a peace offering!!

Have to get up pretty early in the morning to fool those meeces!

Looks like Scratch will never get his Mice-A-Roni.

Cats are obligate carnivores; they couldn’t eat vegan even if they wanted to…

Didn’t know Scratch was a republican.

Nice try anyway, Scratch, I’m sure you’ll come up with something more clever later :)

Usually, having a cat in the house means no mice in the house.

Scratch, you’re just gonna have to accept that these meece are neighbors, not nom noms….

Scratch, you’re about as slick as sandpaper.

Good afternoon Crew!

I forget which Far Side successor had Piglet giving Pooh and Tigger books on the joys of vegetarianism.

Well, it was worth a shot, Scratch. As others have said, though, those mice are sharper than you may give them credit for.

’Evening, Crew.

Sorry Scratch, they’re smart enough to know that you are an obligate carnivore.
