Heart of the City by Steenz for September 20, 2024

Welp! I was wrong. There’s not another “Kat”, there are more!

But there is only one “Heart,”

I’m holding out for the tale of nine Kats.

It sounds like Philly’s stray Cat problem is getting worse.

My wife and daughter are teachers, name clusters are so much fun.

Problem solved.

See? I said that a few days ago! I noticed the name was being spelled with a “C” & Heart’s friend’s name is spelled with a “K”. And the name Catherine can be spelled as Katherine!

How about Cat Spock? That’s 5.

I love that last panel.

The plot thickens. Confusion reigns once again.

I used to work with six Katherines, each went by a different spelling and nickname.

Oh, so THAT’S why Kat’s last name was revealed a while ago (and then suddenly completely forgotten, when her mother was called “Mrs. Kat’s Mom”) – so she could be differentiated from another Cat.

She didn’t know about Qat and Kwat (with the silent W).

Cute Dean holds up his whole hand for “4”…

What…? OTHER characters have last names too?

I always had at least one other Bob in our 15-20 size class in school. I eventually worked in an office where there were 10 employees, and 3 of us were Bobs. Not a problem these days.

My cousin’s name is Katherine and her wife’s is Cathleen. And one goes by Kathie and the other Cathy. Their middle names are Annabelle and Anne respectively. But, and this is a big but, Kathie also answers to Katie due to about 7 or 8 girls with similar names in primary school.

I once worked with a 2 Carlas, 1 Karla, and a Carlos.

Mystery solved. Further chaos to occur as the situation calls for it.
