What the Cat Dragged In
Member Rated:

This is currently the activity which consumes the time of everybody in my household. For those who don't know, my wife and I share our house with a friend of ours named Quentin. All of the following comics are based quite faithfully on real conversations and events, edited only to fit the three-panel two-character comic format. No doubt I will add to these in coming days...

| Hey, you can't throw that away! | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| It's an ugly little ornament from my mother-in-law. It's going. | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| But... but... it's cool! It's a little teapot in the shape of a house! | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| It's stupid, useless, and unattractive, and it is going... | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| Oh, come on! I love this ornament! It's my favourite ever teapot in the shape of a house! | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| It's only fair to warn you - you are about to have a nostril in the shape of a teapot in the shape of a house. | |
 | |  |

| Hey, James - could you get rid of this ugly little teddy bear ornament while you're at it? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| Hey, this one's kind of cute - he's wearing a sunhat! | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Hey, you can't throw that out! My mum gave me that one! | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| If memory serves, she also gave us that pair of small ornamental milk jugs with faces on them. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| Come on, we have to keep this one. Look, he's a cute little ceramic teddy bear in a sun hat! | |
 | |  |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| ...and he has little patches on his feet! Isn't that cute! | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| ...and a cob of corn his his lap... uh... Is it just me or does he look like he has a penis in the shape of a cob of corn? | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| Cool! He'll match the teapot in the shape of a house! | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Right, now you're in trouble... | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
|
|
After fifteen minutes on hold...
|
|
|
 | |  |
| ...and to think, I used to like Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons"... | |

| After yesterday's debacle in the Northland branch of Optus, where they wouldn't give Quentin a new mobile phone because he didn't have enough ID for their requirements, we_set_off_this_morning... | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| First_we_had_to_go_to_the Blind Citizens of Australia to get that photo ID thing. Traffic was shit and it turns out they don't have a passport photo camera, so we had to go find a chemist... | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| We_waited_around_for_ages for the card, and when we got back to the car, I saw that one of the headlights had simply fallen out. I managed to get it vaguely wedged back in, and set off to the city... | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| St_Kilda_Road_was_a_fucking nightmare, as always. When we finally reached the CBD, we found an Optus World and found a one hour park, or so I thought. Went to Optus... No luck! | |

| Here's your tea - chicken and vegetable stir fry with fat udon noodles. Your favourite, sweetie. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Found_out_they_don't_do cable internet connections in-store - only over the phone. After Quentin got his phone, we got back to the car... it was a fucking loading zone. $100 ticket... | |
