Cat's Cafe by Matt Tarpley for September 16, 2021

Secret gifts are charming but fraustrating. Who do you thank. You are stuck with the gift if it is too big or too small. Can’t re-gift it except to someone who lives on the other side of the country and never visits. Other than smile and let it be know that it was very thoughtful of someone special.

Oh, yay! A new one!

I wonder if this aligns with Gen Con on purpose?

Aww. Now even the goblin is happy.

Goblin Gifter! :-)

Cat is just the best! BTW, Matt…just wanted to tell you that the Hyena/Duckie plushie I bought is now delighting a small boy who reportedly carries them everywhere. Thanks.

we need more Goblins of this sort.

This is so cute! Doing something nice, just for the sake of doing something nice!

keep up the great work, matt!!

Small joys, delivered anonymously. A little unexpected happiness.

Leaving “easter eggs” (not necessarily at Easter, nor necessarily eggs) for friends to find later is one of the things I miss most in this age of Covid.

Seems like each of your ’toons is, to me, a “Tiny Treasure”…Thanks, Matt !

That has to be the cutest goblin I have ever seen.

This is my first time seeing him! :)

I absolutely LOVE these, they always make me smile and if I have any sorrows they take them away. Thanks so much, kiwi.

Where did the gremlin steal the rock from?

Until I saw this character called Goblin I assumed he was a bat, I didn’t notice the lack of wings.

Even goblins know the joy of giving.

I love rocks and fossils. Some people buy post cards or souvenirs. I look for interesting rocks or fossils from the places I visit.

This might be the most adorable CCF comic I’ve read. 83

Or if not… at least in the top 3 or so. X3 (The ‘returning the star to the sky’ one was pretty sweet. 8’3)

This is the first “Cat’s Cafe” comic I’ve read. I rather like the art style. Although I’m reading the comics from the 2000s (which in my opinion are the best), Big Nate is getting kind of boring, so maybe I’ll give this a try.

charming luck :)

It explodes trust me

I started leaving drawings at my classmates desk I don’t know if they got it though

What’s happened to Matt?
