Two Lumps [[Full color photo of Caramon standing on a counter where a sink is filling up with water]] / In 1997, Mel Hynes bought a pair of Russian Blue kittens, and named them after the brothers in the Dragonlance series of novels: Raistlin and Caramon. / Strangely, they grew into their names. Raist was thinner and sneaky as an adult, and Caramon was seriously large and less intelligent. / I started doing Two Lumps after Mel and I began dating back in Jan of 2003. I'd sworn off webcomics in favor of writing novels. But there was something about these two cats that just required a comic about them. Raist became Eben, and Caramon became Snooch. / [[Full color photo of Caramon reclining on a stack of comics]] / He was a fat little bastard. One of the largest cats I've ever known, and he hated my guts the moment I stepped into the house. This later reduced to a simmering disdain for me. / Unlike Snooch, Caramon was whiny. Loudly so. His worldview involving humans seemed to be "You are here to serve me, monkey." Woe betide the human who was late filling the food bowl. / He also enjoyed killing bugs. / I'm digressing. / On Thursday, August 6th, we noticed that he wasn't eating. This was fucking weird and alarming. Rare was an hour that Caramon wasn't face-deep in a bowl of food. / When his condition didn't improve by Monday, I took him to the vet while Mel was at work. The doc immediately identified that Caramon seemed to be suffering from kidney failure. / They gave him kitty dialysis for three days, and he did not improve. His kidneys were done. / On Wednesday, he passed away surrounded by us, purring, stoned on painkillers. / I didn't make this memorial to bring you all down. / For those wondering: Yes, Two Lumps will go on. No, we will not suddenly replace Snooch with some other cat. To be honest, Snooch is a perfect way of keeping Caramon immortal. / And that's the least I can do for the little fat bastard's memory. / Because as much as he may have clawed me, snorted derisively at me (true story), and acted like a little whiny jerk at times, I really loved that little punk. He is already missed sorely. / [[Full collor front view photo of Caramon sitting 'loaf style on the headrest of a stuffed chair]] / Caramon / 1997-2009 / A good goddamn cat. / -J.

Not a good choice. / Snooch: Nuh-uh! I gots it covered! / [[Snooch returns with a set of pink-gummed dentures stuffed in his mouth]] / Eben: HOLY FENRIS'S FRUIT BASKET! / Snooch: I gorrum oudda Grnamma's shootcashe! / Eben: And straight into my nightmares.
