Hey John, it seems I’m the only commenter here that has noticed a critical flaw in your drawing for today. You have drawn the spring loaded ‘kill’ bar of the trap in front of the cheese. This indicates that the trap has been tripped and the mice (or rats) are in no danger if they go after the cheese. Apparently they are also clueless that they are in no danger. Unless, of course, they do opt to eat the cheese.
Nothing hard to believe about buying a gun at Abercrombie and Fitch. When Hemmingway was alive the store sold them regularly (obviously).
