It’s nice to hear their stories.

I hope Annie will tell us about the other cats, too.

So Woof lives his life in a low state of constant depression ? :-(

Original colorist was replaced loooong ago. Lack of ink is one reason.

I do hope we are starting over. I remember some great stories. Ches and Jack getting into big trouble downtown…..

I’m dying to know Lily’s backstory. That would be very interesting.

Wow its been a long time

I don’t remember a lot of these strips, so it’s like a brand new comic for me!

This is great! : D

I like the originals, I wonder if we are going to get any new ones anymore? Happy New Year Graham and everyone here!

Al cat raz. And so, the legend begins.

Yeah! Keep going, Annie!

Chesney certainly isn’t all there.

Happy New Year everyone.

Sounds like the people at work…

Right from the start, Chesney was a stinker. Interesting how Route Nine and This Side UP got their names. On another note, saw eight juncos, three wrens, and a junco while out walking today.
