“I will go further and say all cats are wicked, though often useful. Who has not seen Satan in their sly faces? Some preachers will say, well that is superstitious ‘clap-trap.’ My answer is this: Preacher, go to your Bible and read Luke 8: 26-33.”
Bats first appeared about 52 million years ago. That’s just 13 my after the extinction of the Dinosaurs. The first bats still had claws on their webbed fingers and no echolocation ability yet. Still they along with rodents are the most successful of mammals on this planet.
It’s note every day you say a comic featuring jokes involving TWO different species of invertebrates! Well done. That takes… well, backbone! (More please)
Oh, and here’s one that doesn’t get enough attention, the great purple sock creature!https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-35482467

For those of you who wish to read the source of “Kittens Reciting the Words of Satan,” go to John Milton’s “Paradise Lost,” Book IV.

Of course it’s not Jaws! He doesn’t have stainless steel teeth and he’s not being played by actor Richard Kiel.

I hate to break it to you, Bats, but that Robin you hang out with is (gasp) a descendant of the dinosaurs!

Actually, “Jaws” in France (and probably Quebec and other predominantly French jurisdictions) is “The Teeth of the Sea”.

I wish our cat would read to me, even if it’s Milton.
