Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

8 Comic Book SuperPets That Deserve Some Recognition

My fave:

4. Streaky the Supercat: Supergirl’s cat. While looking for a way to deactivate the effects of kryptonite, she inadvertently gave her cat superpowers. Streaky possesses powers similar to the Super family.

Because you can see what Streaky is thinking when the kitty's superpowers manifest themselves....

Also, Superman had a monkey?

And there totally needs to be a movie of this:

8. Topo: Aquaman’s octopus. He was trained by Green Arrow in archery, can play 8 instruments at once, and has humanlike intelligence.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Man, fucking people. I don't understand why you can't just respond to a meeting invite. Decline! Decline if you don't want to go. But I've got this meeting out here with like 30 people invited and about 10 have bothered to respond.

Meanwhile, someone who is on that fucking invite list just scheduled pizza to be delivered at the same time, so I'm either going to: a) look like an ass in front of the outside people coming in for this when people traipse in for the meeting 10 minutes late and carrying pizza; b) look like an ass in front of the outside people coming in for this when only three people even bother to show up or c) screw the people who do show up out of free lunch.

Awesome.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

8 Comic Book SuperPets That Deserve Some Recognition

I love that Batman's dog wears a mask. Just so no one recognizes it. Because those average-size brown medium-hair dogs are really distinctive.

However, NOTHING can be better than Comet, the Super-Horse:

6. Comet: Supergirl’s horse and boyfriend. Comet, a centaur, got his powers when a witch botched his request to become human and then tried to make up for it by making him a super immortal horse instead. Luckily, he later figured out how to turn into a human and went out with both Supergirl and Lois Lane as Bill Starr. Weird. He has the usual Super Family powers.

AND BOYFRIEND.

Oh, comics. Never change.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

Zenkitty, that sounds awful! I left a crappy job once (which wasn't nearly as bad as your sounds) and I am so so glad that I did. I didn't realize how much better I would feel until after I left.

Best of luck searching for a new job. It will be worth it!

eta: lots of ~ma for amyth's brother and family.

It's so people involved in dog-fighting don't steal it.

"Hey, how about that one?"

"See that mask? That's Batman's dog."

"Wow, imagine how much ass it'd kick in a dog fight."

"Dude. It's Batman's dog."

Amyth, I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope things are better than they appear right now.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oh amyth, I am holding you and your family in my thoughts today. Sending ~ma that your brother has a swift and strong recovery.

And Cash, I will also be thinking of your sister, and hoping for good news soon!

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

I hope you find something you like better soon, Zenkitty.

Because books.

All kinds of ~ma for your brother, amyth, and for your sister, Cash.

In other news, I had a Sox at my house for two hours just now and it was Made of Awesome. You should all be very very jealous.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Amyth, you and your family are in my thoughts.

Brenda - call or write pizza ordering person and ask if they have ordered enough for all who responded.

Zenkitty - from my own experience, if you can get out and find a job that fills your needs, run. Run fast. My old job had me crying way too often. I am in love with my new job. I feel so much more human now.

Cash - much baby~ma to your sister.

Just talked with KCD about kid stuff, then he asked me, very seriously, "So, how are you doing"? Eh? Happier cause I don't live with you anymore but I'm kinda lonely and would love some male company? Nope, not going there.
