FurBabies by Nancy Beiman for March 05, 2025

Storms are best appreciated from within the home, looking out the window, with everyone safe and warm and dry.

Some of those names are unprintable.

Into the bath with you, Kate. It’s the best way to avoid a cold from all that water.

Watch your language! There are children present.

Poor Kate, but at least the fur babies are nice and dry. Wondering if Shawn has a pancake hangover from yesterday.

I love it! Especially the first frame. Nice artwork today;)

Big storm here yesterday. Just before it blew over a very powerful lightning strike hit nearby. Very nearby! Yes, I jumped.

It looks like your umbrella was no help, Kate!

Living in the PNW, i understand big rainstorms.

Oh, boy! Stay dry, y’all!

Once I made it through a named storm, a category four hurricane called Isidore (2002). The storm was bad but what followed (2 weeks with no power or running water since there was no power to run the pumps) made me add a lot of other names, nouns and adjectives to the storm in question….. in other words “named storms” are no fun… and to be exact no laughing matter either.

I just noticed Sirius and Floof’s gaits in 2nd panel. You got it perfectly. Kitties do opposite foot lift, dogs same side. Good verisimilitude.

We’ll name it Hurricane Kate in your honor!

Funny how much one can learn from your comic strips. Today the lesson was that a ‘shawm’ was (is?) an Arab ‘squealing’ flute used to keep marchers in step.

I’m guessing some of the names Kate has for the storm are quite rude.
