Pain Scale OR This is a completely accurate depiction of the last week and a half of my life.

Howdy, Folks! I appreciate your patience as I slowly recover from being laid up from a really bad round of sciatica! Definitely on the mend, but wow, being flat in bed for a week sure gave me some much needed perspective!

Thanks to everyone who was super helpful and kind!

'Tis the Season OR Dr. A says they don't feel pain, but I'm not so sure when I see the writhing...

Thanks for the idea for this comic, Dr. A!

Who doesn't love routine? OR Maybe I should stop letting my cat sleep on my backpack..

Note: My computer has not been feeling too well, and my tablet is having sympathy pains, so I may have a few weeks of marker and brush pen drawings! I had a lot of fun doing today's--it's nice to draw on paper for a change! Haven't been doing it enough.

Wonder if this would be different if I had more disposable income...OR Oh, man, the romance is just dripping out of my tortilla...

My fortune cookie said, "You need to do some cardio."

Woke up with terrible wrist pain today! :-( So, here's a quick brush pen comic about something that happened exactly like this yesterday...give or take. 

At least this comic isn't about food…It's about CATS!

The Book of Lael presents Cats, Cats, and More Cats!...a board game! 

A silly change of pace which was originally planned for my abandoned NYC weekend. I really did plan this out so it should work...well, in the way it was designed to work! If anyone actually gives it a try, let me know!

Here are the rules for Cats, Cats, and More Cats! (Coming not so soon to a game night near you!)

Number of Players: 2-4

Rules:

Each player rolls the cats die to determine the number of cats she/he has. After rolling, each player collects the number of tokens to match her/his roll (hope you have a lot of pennies sitting around!). The player with the most cats goes first.

Roll the standard die to determine how many spaces forward the player's first cat will move. The player then follows the instructions on the landing space.

Once a player gets 1 of her/his cats to the finish line, his next cat can start advancing around the board.

If you land on a Naptime! space, just relax until your next turn. 

A cat can’t move back farther than the finish line and half a cat rounds up! You do not have to roll an exact number to cross the finish line. (That would just be cruel!) Once a cat crosses the finish line, it no longer counts towards the player’s total number of cats.

Good luck! You'll need it!
