I approve. / [[Snooch starts rubbing against it]] / Snooch: Oooooo, it's all soft! / Ebenezer: Well, it is a fabric of royalty.

I can keep pettin' and pettin' and... / [[Snooch is now hanging from the side of the footstool, fur all bristly]] / Snooch: Um... / Ebenezer: Ah yes, and highly prone to static electricity as well. Perfect.

In that case, I commend you on becoming the world's fattest coccoon.
Two Lumps [[Closet door is partially open with only one Snooch eyeball and one Ebenezer eyeball showing in the dark]] / Ebenezer: ...so you see, darkness is the feline's natural cover. We blend into the shadows, seamlessly covering even your enormous bulk. / Snooch: Cool! I'm all sneaky-like! / Ebenezer: Next lesson: breaking cover. We need to leap out in one swift motion, before the target is aware of our presence. Ready? / Snooch: Yes! The dust bunny is DOOOOOMED! / Ebenezer: INDEED! ATTACK! / [[Snooch and Ebenezer are both wide-eyed and blinking in the bright light]] / Snooch: ...so it's part'a the lesson when we get totally blinded by the sunlight after the dark? / Ebenezer: Er... no.

Just like Megatokyo! / Ebenezer: Exactly. / {{Mel Hynes' name has a big x drawn over it in the copyright credit at the bottom of the strip.
