There are only four panels this week. The past few days have been very upsetting, but there was a happy conclusion. For the past couple of months there has been a stray cat in our neighborhood. Last week some creep shot the cat in the head with an arrow. The arrow entered the poor cat's head just above and to the side of his right eye and was sticking out the back of its neck. Sunday night several police officers, five or six neighbors, a local vet and I were able to corner the cat and safely capture it.

The vet was able to remove the arrow, and my wife and I adopted the cat. Lucky, as my wife named him, is doing pretty good and is expected to recover fully. Right now, he is an odd sight as most of the fur on his head and neck has been shaved off.

Why anyone would do something so cruel is beyond me. Fortunately, Lucky escaped serious, lasting injury although it will be a while before the wounds are healed.

I am going to post some pictures of Lucky on the forum sometime this weekend. I would post the photo taken by the police before the arrow was removed, but they won't release it until the animal cruelty case is resolved.

God, I hope they catch the person who did this.

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this week's comic. Have a wonderful weekend.
