When I was painting the bathroom in our old house, Esmeralda got paint oh her paw. She was a curious little Torti. Now she’s crossed the bridge, I wish I’d kept one of the paw prints.
Another good one! I wonder if they will show multiple from this little saga or leave this to remind those who know of Lupin’s adventures and exploits. For many of us, “someone has paint on their paws,” is all we need.
Georgia posted once that this almost happened. She was painting a piece of furniture and Lupin leapt in. The difference between comic and real life is she managed to grab him before he ran through the house. One of my multitude of reasons I admire her is the way she takes something so minor and turns it into a brilliant piece of comedy.
I admire Lupin’s correct usage of the gender-neutral “their” for an unknown subject even though, at the time, there were no female suspects in the apartment.
(Would’ve been a twist if it’d been Tabitha, “the Stealth Pranker”, painting pawprints on walls, but less funny overall.)
The worst thing is the humans have real proof on walls and ceilings that a cat can defy gravity. Before, it was just an old wives’ tale. Let’s hope there’s no evidence of him walking THROUGH a wall. That could destroy the time and space continuum.
This is one of the many strips that I shared with my cat-loving parents when I first discovered BCN. Really bring me back anda great tribute to Loopy Lupin.

One of my all-time favorites! Elvis is going to need another mug of that coffee to deal with this.
Le'letha Premium Member almost 3 years ago
I love the detail that Lupin often holds his coffee mug with both paws, and indeed there is paint on both sides of the mug!

Is this the result of Beatrix accidentally giving Lupin a regular coffee instead of a de-caf? Oh well, live and learn Bea!

Green is the colour of his paws

I like that shade of green. Maybe it’d be easier to paint the walls to match, even though with watercolor a little dry edge would still show.

On a related note, the Color Marketing Group, a professional forecasting organization, forecast this color for the Asian market two years ago:

Lupin is such an amazing character. He’s so cute and funny. He is always a joy to see in the comics. 9/10

Nothing to joke about. Cats can die from ingesting paint when they try to clean the paint off their paws.

Traditional
Alas, dear cat you do us wrong
To smear the walls so discourteously
For these walls have been so very white
And now paw prints all over we do see!
…….
Green paint throughout the house
Green paint on walls and floor
Green paint in the shape of paws
Green paint here forevermore!
…….
As Lupin stands there all appalled (apawed?)
And Elvis his displeasure shows
We wonder where dear Puck might be,
And whether the Man and Woman know?
…….
Green paint throughout the house
Green paint on walls and floor
Green paint in the shape of paws
