The term “house mom” takes on a new meaning, in this context. Who’d have thought that the house itself would be providing relationship advice? Still, if the advice is good, the source of it might not matter. The house protects[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Theo’s added comment is stolen, affectionately, from the great W. C. Fields. His original version of this quote was said only in private, since the word he used there shared the first two letters and was disallowed on radio, television,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Usually, Theo is part of delivering these rotten jokes, so it seemed to me that he could be the not-so-innocent bystander for this one. I’m glad to say that the strip has not attracted any creepy stalkers, nor even not-creepy[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Another happy bit of fourth-wall breaking from our favorite white tiger. It’s been a while since we checked in on Theo at his customer support desk, and I thought it was time to bring out one of the amazing last[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Theo is not one to pass up the opportunity to demonstrate a proper pun (or an improper one, for that matter). He does risk incurring the wrath of his housemates, and given Ophelia’s way of expressing her irritation, he’d better[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
