Flying home with a suitcase full of what I hope they think is catnip.
Ha! This made me think of something strange. Why do cats (but not people) get high on catnip? I’m not suggesting anyone should get high on catnip, of course. But it’s curious that it only affects cats.
Love how her name is Selina. Intentionally, I hope.
Definitely intentionally, Liz. I originally created the comic years ago for Comics Buyer’s Guide. So the comic book references were my whole excuse for doing the comic.
