ANOTHER mouse in the house

SO..

MY WIFE & I GET HOME FROM TUCSON MONDAY NIGHT..

& PARENTS WEEKEND AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA..

WELL I'M "ALREADY"
BACK IN THE MAN CAVE..
WATCHING THE GIANTS GAME..

& MY WIFE YELLS FROM THE KITCHEN..
"COULD YOU PLEASE COME OUT HERE--THERE'S SOME "MAN'S"-WORK TO BE DONE"..

& I'M LIKE--"SWEEEETIE--I JUST DROVE 9-HOURS--CAN'T I JUST-RELAX FOR A MINUTE?"..

& SHE SAYS--"NO SWEEETIE--YOU NEED TO COME OUT HERE "RIGHT"-NOW"..

SO I THROW THE REMOTE DOWN..

& KICK THE OTTOMAN..

& "SULK"-OUT TO THE KITCHEN..

WHERE "SHE" POINTS..

TO A LAMP..

ON-"TOP" OF THE CHINA CABINET..

& "HANGING"

FROM "INSIDE" THE LAMP-"SHADE"..

IS A MOUSE..

IT'S LITTLE MOUSE-"HEAD"
IS STICKING OUT THE "TOP"..

& IT'S "BODY"
IS "INSIDE" THE SHADE..

"&"

IT'S "STILL"-ALIVE..

"OBVIOUSLY"

CHASED-THERE..

BY OUR 2-CATS JINX & TEX..

WHO ARE AT-"THIS" MOMENT..

"EATING" FROM THE FOOD DISH..

"OBLIVIOUS"

THERE'S A MOUSE..

"IN"-THE HOUSE..

HANGING-FROM THE LAMP-SHADE..

7-FEET "ABOVE"-THEM..

SO..

I GET SOME PAPER TOWELS..

& "ATTEMPT" TO "GRAB" THE MOUSE..

"OF"-COURSE I "MISS"..

& IT FALLS "BEHIND" THE CABINET..

SO..
I "SCOOT" THE CABINET
"OUT" FROM THE WALL..

& "NOW"..
OUR DOG MOLLY..IS INTERESTED..

& SHE STARTS SNIFFING-AROUND BEHIND THE CABINET..

THE "CATS"??..

"STILL" CHOWING AT THE FOOD BOWL..

WELL..MOLLY SNIFFS A LITTLE LONGER..

& "BOOM"

THE MOUSE TAKES OFF ACROSS THE DINING ROOM FLOOR..

& MOLLY TAKES OFF AFTER IT..

& SHE CATCHES IT IN HER MOUTH..
& "FLINGS"-IT IN THE AIR..

& IT "LANDS"..

"DAZED"..

& "BOOM"--IT'S "OFF"-AGAIN..

WITH MOLLY IN HOT-PURSUIT..

& SHE CATCHES IT IN HER MOUTH "AGAIN"..
& "THROWS"-IT AGAIN..

& "THUD"..

IT'S "DONE"..

THAT MOUSE IS OFF TO THAT "BIG CHUNK OF CHEESE IN THE SKY"..

SO I PICK IT UP..

& MY WIFE IS "UP"
ON THE KITCHEN-COUNTER..

SCREAMING & GIGGLING..

& I LOOK OVER..

& THE TWO CATS ARE "SITTING THERE"..

LICKING THEIR CHOPS..

& CLEANING-UP

"AFTER"-DINNER..

& THEY LOOK AT ME--LIKE--

"WHAT'S UP?"

"THE FOOD DISH IS EMPTY"..
