I've rarely seen a comic that nails the mother/teenage son relationship better than this Buckets. Or mother/30something son, really. I remember last week I tried to interest my Moms in a sure-fire scheme to make money by raising yaks in our carport -- no dice whatsoever. And she says I never apply myself!
But in my case, I wake my cats up because their snoring is freaking me out.
More Kit 'N' Carlyle here!
There's a really interesting storyline going in "Stone Soup" right now. Evie Stone is in Haiti building houses. The character also has a Facebook page with updates about her life in Haiti and her adventures. This series is based on the time "Stone Soup" creator Jan Eliot spent in Haiti, and it's been a fascinating read so far. This is a pretty good place to start.
I think Jim Henson was pro-robot! Though the robot's little rant at the end sounds suspiciously like the talk you give yourself after a breakup. "I don't need you!" "Why won't you call me back?"
The piece on Slate has a nice writeup of it, as well.

They talk about boyparts. So it's not entirely safe for children or work without headphones. Also, how awesome is Maurice Sendak? The awesomest.
We're delighted to welcome Graham Harrop and his wonderful sawbuck of felines to the GoComics family.
Here's the lowdown:
Ten abandoned cats live in an old warehouse where they are looked after by a young girl named Annie. They include Chesney, the ringleader, Jack, his sidekick, and Oliver - a wide-eyed kitten. The warehouse contains a boardroom on the very top floor, where, unbeknownst to Annie the moggies conduct the world's business through the eyes of a cat.
