That must be “Kirsten’s Surprise”?! At least I hope it’s a surprise… I think. Though, where are the living kids in this story? I guess this happens during a school day?
First we need to clarify what did really happen – in a comic-world where cats dress like correspondingly ethnic humans (including a Scottish cat ghost in “Full Highland Dress” or “The Ghost Goes West” (1935). So we need to wait. Except for that and all of the animals running TV news stations and the one sapient Roomba it’s realistic. :-) But I’m guessing “Lupin is deaf as we know, and kids are immune because whatever”.
Suppose that the alien Roombas are The Borg, from Star Trek, and they use an auditory signal to control workers. But due to child labor laws, children and kittens are immune, and adult humans are asleep because you don’t get up and work in the middle of the d___ night. (Unless you do.)
So, what happened when The Big Pink House was un-mess-ilated? Stay tuned next week! Same cat time! Same cat channel!
Pepperoni makes all the indifference. :-)
