Pickles by Brian Crane for April 24, 2023

& Why is she (why are we/why am I) put into the lives of other people?

What/how can she (we/I) teach or benefit others?

I share Muffin’s philosophy.

I learned mostly they wished to swindle me.

Muffin, a true cat’s cat!

If you can’t feed me, at least give me a good massage! That’ll set me up for my nap which should last about 15 hours.

My cats: “If you don’t go away and leave me alone, I’ll find someone who will.”

An appropriate name for some cats should be “Hermit.” My niece’s cat HATES meeting new people. Men, especially, cause her to run under the bed.

While I believe there is a Creator of some sort I also believe in chance. If I see the face of someone I’ve not seen before in the grocery store I don’t wonder, “Why has God put that person in my life?” And I resent those who feel a chance encounter with me was intended by their concept of God to give them a chance to share the joys of their narrow-minded fellowship.

Touché, Muffin

Goodness

Typical CAT

Truly cat thinking

Yayyyyy!Not one comment today referring to Roscoe! Oops.

Cat thoughts!

Feed me! And suddenly Seymour is standing beside her.

For those, starting with LawrenceS, who want to read more into this than is in the comic, remember that God is not mentioned at all. It is entirely possible to wonder what you can learn from someone or if there’s a reason someone has entered your life and not be thinking about God and in particular, not be thinking about the Christian view of God. There are other religions and other belief systems. Anyway, the other thing to remember is that this is an amusing comic strip. It is possible to laugh at the cat’s reaction and move on without any more profound thoughts.

Cats and their one track minds! Meooow

seem to be a lot of cat jokes in the comics today

As for this senior-senior, I vant to be alone. (Garbo)

A great lesson, very profound, good set-up and funny kicker, thanks Brian…

Dogs have owners. Cats have staff.

I see cat is back. Roscoe must be out for a walk with Earl.

Opal, you can fool Nelson, you can fool Muffin, heck, you can fool your self but you can’t fools us! Break out the TP and clean out that crap you laid in Nelson’s ears. Over-the-top Legend in her own mind!

Yep that’s pretty much what cats think of first:themselves
