Cat's Cafe by Matt Tarpley for July 27, 2023

A crab’s gotta crab, I guess. Coffee helps soothe a difficult nature.

Poor crab. Cat’s a good friend.

Coffee seems to help a lot of people. https://twitter.com/FreyjaRN/status/1630489691660374016/photo/1

What a beautiful shade of blue on that crab. Love the SCOOTLE, SCOOTLE.

That’s about how I feel most mornings before my coffee.

It’s good to have understanding friends.

Scootle, scootle. Perfect word <3

Life’s stresses can make one a bit crabby, but it’s good to remember the simple courtesies. Whatever is making you snappish, it’s not your server’s fault.

Those in customer service often learn not to take their customer’s actions/words personally. You never know what they are going through.

Cat is very understanding about the stress of existence some customers may be experiencing. Coffee and a sympathetic ear can work wonders.

Crab’s claws in the last panel kind of look like coffee beans.

Who hasn’t felt that early morning angst? And who hasn’t appreciated the understanding friend? By the by, great movement sound “scootle”!

He seems a little … crabby.

Scootle scootle

No hard feelings, Crab. We all have days like this.

So is that cup size a Demi? Or smaller? Probably seems like a Grande or Venti to the little guy.

As I said to the wonderful owner of the Galaxy Coffee Truck, "Baristas are the “new psychiatrists”. Better than the old “bartender psychiatrists”."

Any plans to publish a 2nd book soon? :)
