   He would have had to have been on the payroll prior to the trip.

   My grade school was built on a hill with the playground on the lowest level and you would walk up two levels to get to the first of two levels of classrooms. I hated having to use the restroom, which was one level up from the playground. But so was the special ed room. If you suddenly needed to use the restroom during a class, you had to walk down a couple of staircases and past the special ed classroom. The anguished screams that came from that room sent shivers down your spine and you were usually doing your thing alone in a spooky, old bathroom built in 1930. Never knew what went on in there but there was always yelling.

   Really? It’s a box of kittens. That’s been telegraphed for the past couple of weeks although anybody that has cats knows this entire arc is improbable.

   Only one, really. The box is full of kittens. There will be no explanation of how the cat got down there to birth them or how Gertie and Walt failed to notice that the cat was either pregnant or nursing when it showed up. Sort of like “Jones”, I guess.

   A cat wouldn’t “moan”, really more like a low-throated growl, because of having kittens. A cat moans because it is scared or threatened, hungry, simply wants attention, or is in heat. But this cat didn’t just have kittens as there are several signs that would tip you off. It takes a cat about two months to carry its brood to birth. Having been around several cats that gave birth (we once had two cats that suddenly turned to 22), you really can tell that they are pregnant.

   “Moanin”? I hope Gertie isn’t getting a little freaky with her “Steely Dan”.

   Remember, cats do not have thumbs. Unless Walt or Gertie was opening the door to the basement, the cat has no way to get down there.

   Why do we expect our comics to commemorate historic dates? It wasn’t always so. How many strips in the mid-60s remembered Pearl Harbor? “Peanuts” is the only one I remember doing any WWII remembrances and I think Schulz only did the D-Day ones.

   Do you remember all of the bad things that Trump predicted in 2020 that would happen if Biden won the election? Exactly none of them happened.

    Somehow I suspect it involves reading “Gasoline Alley”.
