Today’s Last Kiss is a bit of an outlier because it has no beautiful women. (Or men.) And no sexual innuendos.
True, our star character has bedroom eyes. But…so what? He’s a cat!
What makes this one special to me is that he’s our next-door neighbors’ cat, Rigby. And he usually comes over at least once a day to visit us. Sometimes for two minutes. Sometimes for two hours. We are helpless people putty in his adorable paws,
And now he’s convinced me to make him a webcomic star. Honestly, this cat has no shame!
–John Lustig, Rigby’s pawn.
↓ TranscriptSCENE: Rigby the cat is barely awake as he lies on a human bed.
RIGBY: I’m so excited to see you! I almost can’t sleep!
Rigby the cat appears courtesy of his servants Paul Roos & Crispina Foss Roos
